The soft millenials are screwing up sports. Lame.
As well as the stitching on their jerseys.

So Curry will be the 4th highest paid Warrior next season.
After all, Karl Malone didn't plead to sign to the Bulls after failing multiple times to beat them (though his move to the Lakers had a similar kind of logic to it).
Most Jazz fans didn't begrudge Malone for trying to get a ring with the Lakers at the end of his career. He had given it everything he had for 18 seasons in Utah. Stockton had retired and the Jazz were trending downward having not gotten out the first round the two seasons prior. It was obvious the Jazz were going to have to rebuild anyway.
I'm not sure why this comes as a shock though, aren't American sports engineered this way? Not quite to a soccer extent, but you don't really have the cyclical nature that the AFL has. Big money talks.
Until a team offers them an obscene amount and they leave?
The most fundamental aspect of the soft cap is that you are allowed to go over the salary cap to re-sign a player already on your roster. There are also a number of "exceptions" that give teams flexibility to continue to operate even as they run up to the cap.What is a "soft cap"? And are there restrictions imposed on third-party deals? Or can a club get a player over the line with a gigantic sponsorship deal?
I think they should just rip off the band aid, split the league in 2 and go full on European soccer model complete with promotion and relegation, and the elimination of the draft and our sham grassroots and college systems.
But I'm just a caveman.
Wily Hernangomez sonThe Knicks signed a Lithuanian guy called Mindaugas Kuzminskas, who was playing in a team called Darussafaka Dogu in Turkey. Sorry, folks, they've won the name offseason.
Now they need to find an Estonian center and form the Baltics Big Three.
They get a dick in the eyeI don't know the NBA rules like I do NFL, but do the Thunder receive any kind of compensation for losing KD? Like how the NFL does compensation picks?
Not saying that would solve everything but wondering if the NBA could at least learn a couple of things from the NFL.
But then again, the team that just won the Super Bowl was primarily built through Free Agency when you look at many of the key pieces. But at least generally, building thru the draft is usually the way to go in the NFL when it comes to establishing long term success.
Back to the NBA, as a spectator, Super Teams are fun. But when you're a fan of a team like the Bucks, and you know that the chances of ever having someone like KD consider signing with your team is slim to none, it's a bit demoralizing.

It's why teams often try and work out a sign and trade deal once they know a player is gone... just to try and get something of value in return. Doesn't look like that will happen in this case.
