It's a sad day for all small market teams.

I hate to say it, but we match up better with them if Cousins is playing big minutes.

No worries. We always beat Demarcus Cousins...

The solution is simple - once you are over the luxury, you cant spend money. There is no reason why GS should have $5.4 to spend this year. No reason whatsoever. That is the loophole.
A decent player will pass up on $10 million to get $5 and a ring. And I wouldn't be shocked if some owners are paying players on the side.

Here’s hoping Allen is the next Mitchell, getting lucky every year is the only way we will get a chip and that’s not happening

This is a different story if all they could offer him is league minimum.
I’ve never believed that any team is unbeatable. Boogie is a cancer but you can have head cases and cancers on teams that can play strong peripheral roles if everything else is stable (Ron Artest in LA, Rodman in Chicago), but it will be interesting to see how it goes. I can’t think of anyone anywhere remotely near Boogie’s size coming off an Achilles rupture. He can still shoot and board, though.
This is the type of team poised to be taken down by someone like us.
No teams are unbeatable.

Exactly @Ellis269
The difference between $10 and $2 is pretty huge. The difference between 10 and $5.3 when GS will probably house and feed him for the year makes it an easy choice.

Isn't this as much a sign that nobody really wanted Cousins? Jazz could have easily made room for him. I doubt they wanted him. NO could have kept him. They undoubtedly knew they played better without him. Plenty of teams could have gone after and given him a better offer.
Let's not go hyperbolic on this. It could just as easily backfire on the Warriors as help them.

That's the true Hard Cap the Players Union would not agree to.

lol on the positive side, he could derail their season with some quality pouting and whining
They vetoed that deal cos at the time NO was under the League control was it not? Not sure they can meddle with the 'Free Agents', ... it is a free market afterall.
The main thing they need to do is install a hard cap.

That would disadvantage teams that are actually good at drafting and developing talent.

with exceptions (draft + young player development)

Hard cap + no max contract.
That should do it.
Utah can pay LeBron $100m per year, see if he can refuse that.
