Yes. And those rules are in place to govern the league. And does on the most part very well. But there is a very small segment of the most talented which are in a position to challenge.I read the 1st paragraph, skipped the 2nd. I know exactly how these deals work. But if it was so simple and sweet, why wouldnt EVERY team lock up their guys after 3 years? Wh benefits from this? Especially when... and tri-ust me, this is where this is headed, Micah signs an extension right now for 5 years 240 million with 160 million guaranteed.
Then in 3 years from now, Micah is the 10th highest paid defender so he says Im not coming to camp (Martin) until you give me more money?
So my question about who is benefitting from this was really rhetorical.
Point being, the CBA spells out the rules to which the teams and players play by.
If the owners always stood firm it would end. Any idea why the owners are standing more firm. Therein lies the answer.
