NBA/NBPA Agree to New CBA with Big Changes

[Kernewek]

One interesting proposal that didn't end up making it into the new CBA - each team is allowed only two super max players. For all the talk about wanting to increase parity, this would have gone a long way toward that.

They also eliminated the maximum of two designated Designated Players on a team at a time.

Oooh I hadn't seen that - too busy with the day job to chase new CBA news as much as I'd like to at the moment.

Mid season tournament?? What a bunch of you know what!! What the purpose of it? NBA & College basketball is going down the drain

All this just reminds me again of how money and big business has ruin such a fun simple sport.

The NBA has a few stipulations in its new 65-game requirement for postseason awards, according to reporting from ESPN's Baxter Holmes.

Players must play 20 minutes per game for it to count as a game except in two of the 65 games a player can play between 15 and 20 minutes and it will still count.

Two of the three primary candidates for MVP this season have yet to play in 65 games with Giannis Antetokounmpo at 62 and Joel Embiid at 64. Nikola Jokic has played in 67 games.

So, no checking in for 30 seconds and having it count.
