re: Pandemic P signs max extension

Maybe have it count for cap purposes but not lux tax purposes or something, but only for players that you drafted.

That’s exactly what I thought I wrote. Lol

A team like Milwaukee shouldn’t be penalized for finding a Yannis, developing him, and then rewarding him.

What’s even worse is that the max contracts hurt the game psychologically. You go from loving a guy and rooting for him to suddenly looking at him as constraint to success.

They are now hamstrung, only going to be worse. Yet they really haven’t done anything wrong. They haven’t spent wildly or stupidly. And while some may look at some like KM, a small small market in an undesirable FA destination has to lock up good/great players cause it’s going to be hard to get their equivalent as a FA.

If Yannis contract didn’t count as much towards luxury then they could have made more moves. And that would result in better basketball.

Who wouldn’t want to see see BB/Gallinari on the Bucks and a new bench take on Sixers/Heat and then Lakers?
