2016-17 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD

[Saint Cy of JFC]

With or without a luxury tax? I don't think I like the idea either way. The current system is better.

No, a luxury tax would still definitely be in play. Has to have a LT.

Did I ever say get rid of the salary cap in the NBA? I just said no hard-cap, which there is currently no hard-cap in the NBA.

Hard cap is never happening.

Hard cap is stupid. I dont agree with putting a limit on how much people can make if people are able to pay them.

Yes, max contracts should not exist and nearly everyone who is smart agrees on that.

I dont believe in limiting what a person can earn if their employer is willing to pay them. It's simple ethics for me.

You are just contradicting yourself.

You are just contradicting yourself.

How?

Hmmm. I don't know. I'll have to explore both sides. My only concern is whether it disadvantages smaller teams or not.

 

[elan_prodigy]

How?

Any 'cap' whether Hard or not is a restriction on what someone can earn...

Guys, just remember 1 thing when discussing a new idea or anything hypothetical with Cy, he will ALWAYS take the most ridiculous side of the argument and he challenges himself to WIN THAT ARGUMENT.



I think he gets off of doing it.

No, those players can stay on the team who has their bird rights and they can pay them as much as they want.

Smaller teams are always going to be at a disadvantage no matter what rule you implement.

Not with a hard cap rule. That rule will essentially eliminate any disadvantages that the League can control.

A
hard
cap
is
never
going
to
happen

And what disadvantage does that eliminate? A small market team could have a massively rich owner (see the Blazers). Is that really helping them? Please stfu about a hard cap. We aren't communist.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

A small market team has to overpay to get a free agent

a hard cap exist

That team is now ****ed for a long-time because of having a bad contract under a hard cap.

Lol.

So a team can pay that player $200Million/yr can they?

Guys, just remember 1 thing when discussing a new idea or anything hypothetical with OL, he will ALWAYS take the most shallow side of the argument and just repeat it over and over again without thinking about it so he can WIN THAT ARGUMENT.

I think he gets off doing it.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If they want to. It would be an insane amount of LT, but if they want to. I'm sure every other owner in the league would be stoked by the revenue sharing.

So I guess Adam Silver is shallow too for wanting a hard cap?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The idea that a hard cap fixes anything is short sighted. It would also never be approved by any player and would be impossible to deal with unless all contracts only became partially guaranteed.

No max contract is what helps fix things. And you know small market teams love the LT too, right? You think those owners don't love those revenue sharing checks that the high spenders pay?

About time you started a new thread with this BS aye??

He wants a harder cap, not a hard cap.

Back to my PLAYOFF related question...


Did Lebron James throw this game to avoid a week long lay off before the finals??
