Every year, a board votes on a tiered list of super stars. Teams are only allowed to have so much "Star power" on their team. If a star rises up during the season and the next list puts them over the cap, then the team has to void one of the contracts

Parity issue solved, league good again. Teams have to build through young players and chemistry

Bring on the downvotes. F this boring arse league.

but if they do such a good job building with young players and chemistry they then get penalized by having too many stars?

Is the plan of most teams that aren't the LeBros and the Warriors, and the end goal is:

Let me guess...you think the Pelicans have the "right amount" of "star power" with Davis and Cousins.

NBA needs major reform, but a star cap is not a good way to do that.

This sounds extremely subjective.

What happens when a player is past his prime but he's still a name?

For example, Carmelo is still a really good player, but would he be included in the list of "superstar players?"

Also, you can't plan for a player that is considered an average player becoming a superstar.

Just move to two things:

1) Get rid of max contracts
2) Hard cap

The end.

LOL unless they do such a good job that the young players become "stars" and they have to cut them

Parity is boring. Everybody says they want parity but they really don't know how boring it is to have a league full of mediocre teams.

Leagues are so much more fun when there are only a handful of really great teams and everyone else is gunning for them. Sure, you'll have some horrible teams at the bottom, but who cares? You wouldn't pay attention to them whether they are horrible or below average.

By trying to lift up the bottom teams you hurt the excitement at the top. In an effort to make a league with more "parity", you make a league more boring.

Why should my boy Presti be penalized for trade raping other GMs?

Then it punishes teams that build a trio of superstars through great draft choices...OKC when they drafted KD, Westbrook and Harden or GSW that drafted Curry, Klay, and Draymond.

Get rid of max contracts and you'll limit the number of superstars on a team because teams will get in real bidding wars for star players. Also adding a hard cap would help too since small market teams have a much harder time going deep into the luxury tax to keep 3 or 4 all star caliber players.
