The cap won't make a huge jump like that anytime soon. A combination of that and your 2x MVP making a fraction of a Max Salary should be pretty uncommon.

Harry Giles is becoming great after being drafted some already good team will have everyone furious, could be a KD ish situation. the next KD free agent situation I imagine will have a player who's eligible for the super duper max leaving for a good team with normal max cap room.

If that's the case, the Cavs should have taken it a bit more seriously.

Literally nothing will stop super teams because then you just do what Cleveland does and trade for your guy.

Also a reminder that the entire point of the CBA back in like 2012 was supposed to stop superteams like the Heat.

And the end result of both attempts end up hurting smaller teams than actually affecting the superteams. Portland is going to pay a billion dollars because of GSW.

The National Hockey League has a hard salary cap; if your 23-man roster is over the cap for a particular game the opposing team can invoke your forfeit (but are curiously not required to). There's probably a lot of back-and-forth with the minor leagues and the NHL itself to get the team under the cap by the time 20-man rosters lock before the game, though, because the NHL is pathologically penny-wise even by pro sports standards and doesn't even want to lose one game's revenue.

Then again they also have stuff like a player's average contract-season value instead of actual season pay being used to determine cap hit, and would rather do a bunch of rules-lawyering than the sensible thing.

I think it's nice to see KD scoring all these points and kicking rear end in the finals. He looks really comfortable without all the Westbrooking getting in the way.

The NBA will do nothing because the GSW are really popular and will only become more popular as they continue to win. More people will watch them, both as fans and as haters hoping to see them lose. In the end, the NBA makes more money. they have no incentive to break them up or prevent future super teams.

i agree with the overall point but you can't do what golden state has done through trades. really you cant replicate it at all cause it involves 3 max level dudes on big discounts and a top level free agent and a unprecedented cap hike. making rules to fit that corner case would be dumb as hell
