It's something JJR says quite a lot, even if he presents it in more nuanced ways. The Satoransky > John Wall thing remains a classic to me :D. Anyway, we all know the Raptors bench mob was historically good 2 years ago. But low-minute bench players play mostly vs other bench players (vanilla +/- is basically worthless if you want to compare them to starters), and see very few occurrences of play in a starters vs starters setup, so things like RPM are not that reliable either. In the playoffs, Derozan's lack of a 3 pointer messes up spacing on offense badly. In the playoffs, the offensive rating for the Raptors was a lot worse with Derozan on the floor. In 2017 it was 102/112. in 2018 it was 109/123. This year the Spurs offense was as productive with Derozan as they were without him. Offense is supposed to be the strength of Derozan's game. He is a poor defender. In a good system that makes up for his flaws he CAN BE average as a defender. A year ago I thought getting rid of Derozan was a good move. After looking into it a bit more deeply I'd say getting rid of Derozan was a great move. | ||

He lists significant ramifications and then says "it's no big deal" Players can move around. They've been doing it for decades. I agree with JimmiC that raising the max or even removing it all together would be a solution. It's interesting that so few of the recent moves are motivated by money. You don't see people saying "they aren't paying me enough." I like that dynamic a lot more. We could also ramp up the Bird Rights angle with bigger salaries. | ||

I understand that people get a lot of traffic about player movement, but that doesn't make the league money. They don't own the information about player movement. They don't own every website that speculates about where Lebron is going in 2021. The only things that reliably make the NBA money are ratings (weak evidence that player movement hurts this), gate (decent evidence movement hurts this), and apparel (no evidence either way). My solution would be a combo with jimmy's. 1. Remove the max, 2. Remove the ability for the "last year option". A 5 year contract isn't 4+1, its just 5. This would apply to teams and players so it actually could get through the CBA, and I think its a good plan. Not that players won't just sign shorter contracts (they might), but if they do they actually face down injury risk instead of having a 1 year security blanket at the end of every contract. | ||

The TV rights fees for these teams are not real. they are theoretical amounts that these corporations pay themselves. These umbrella corps shuffle the money around to gain the best net tax advantage for the entire corporation not just for the NBA team. | ||

the players wouldnt want it as 95% of the players would never see that kind of money anyways and would instead lose money. the owners wouldnt want it as what happens when a guy u are paying 80mil a year gets injured? its actually quite easy to see if a league is losing money, is the cap going up? if it is, then they are not losing money. | ||
