I would think a new CBA screws us over even worse by putting these contracts off for so long.
But that could have been the hold up last year too. Dak's team anticipating a 250+ million dollar cap by the middle of his deal and not wanting to short change himself. If the cap really goes that high then Dak is probably right to wait, even if that means playing on the tag a year for all of this to shake down.

These contract negotiations will be even more interesting if there is a new CBA in place.

I fully expect Dallas to get it handed to them by Dak and Amari's agents.

This deal should realistically have no effect on how much Dak is offered. If he thinks that he can get $40 million a year just because if a cap increase, he is delusional. It would be stupid for the team to get more cap space and start overpaying players.

Wouldn’t be quite over paying it would be per scale. Daks 40 in a much higher cap would be equivalent to 28-30 in the current one. He would actually get paid what he’s worth.

What would be worrisome is if Daks demands increase with the cap, i.e. if he asked for 50M+ because of the increase in cap room. Then he’d just be going for a percentage of the cap rather than a number
