Brad is wrapping up these extensions quickly.  I think he has some vacation plans!

2nd apron question.

The rule says "second apron teams will also be prohibited from combining multiple players salaries into trades as well. Phoenix, as a specific example, could not trade both Jusuf Nurkić and Nassir Little for one player making $24.8 million."

Is that just for the outgoing, or the incoming players too?

So Phoenix and Boston can't combine multiple players in the outgoing portion of a trade.  But could they send out one player and bring back multiple players from the other team?

And as long as the Celtics send out less in salary, than what's incoming, as long as the incoming aggregate salaries don't exceed 125% plus $100,000?

Is that correct?

Yes.  We can do a 1-for-2, but not a 2-for-1.

But the trick is if Phoenix also can only do a 1-for-2, can we trade?  Or are second apron teams barred from trading with each other unless the salaries line up perfectly?

I think that's right:  unless it's a multi-team transaction, the only trades would be exact matches (of the cap hit, not the actual salary in the case of a subsidized vet minimum).

70 million a year to play basketball while ppl in the military fighting and dying for a country doesn?t get hardly anything..don?t blame the players thou, if owners shell it out, then get it

The $$ in entertainment is absurd. But yes that?s the way it is. I hope they spend it well.

I definitely don't disagree with you. Other professions like teaching, healthcare, etc. suffer the same way. But just wait, once the Saudis and Middle East also get involved with the NFL and NBA (like they have with Golf recently), it's gonna get more crazy. Hell, I wouldn't rule out a Middle Eastern rich group pursuing the Celtics ownership, the C's are also going to Abu Dhabi for a preseason game with the Nuggets, aka a showcase?

[celticinorlando]

Issue I have is players are allowed to make crazy money for things they achieve but the cap and all the cap rules work against this. I get guard rails but you can't have guys making 60 million a year (and this is going to be pretty common soon) with such a low cap.

Adam Silver was making a big deal about not having any nation state / government bodies owning an NBA team. Not like in European soccer.

I am not sure he would allow Saudi Arabia or Abu Dhabi to purchase a team.
