No One Will Recognize the NBA in 5 Years

The new NBA CBA makes things a lot different going forward. This is a look at how the league will look completely different in just a few years.

So pretty much be prepared for teams that have stellar front offices like the Spurs and Thunder since even before the new CBA they've always managed to make ridiculously smart moves whilst super teams were being formed left and right

Love this content it keeps us fans way more in notice of what’s happening

I actually really like the new CBA rules.
It's gonna really encourage teams to try to be good because all of the good players wont be on 3 teams.

What a great video. I'm kinda glad that Superteams are done. It will be nice to have a more teams being able to win. That is what makes the NFL so much fun sometimes. Any team can come out and win.

I think this is a perfect medium. Player empowerment is something needed in this league. However, it has been left unchecked for years. This doesn’t stop players from walking out on a weak front office, but adds the needed risk and consequence. Teams aren’t going to be able to capitalize on a upset superstar like AD or Harden anymore. Free agency is the only way for for teams to pick these types of players up. Made much more difficult by the fact these players will have dozens of teams trying to pick them up rather than only a handful of teams. I can see the Grizzlies being a team to win a championship very soon. They are built fairly similar to the Nuggets and their top talents are all young home grown players.

Didn't mention the Miami of building a team: Develop undrafted players into solid rotation players.

Honestly, I think it will result in smaller contracts for role players, which is probably the right way to go anyway. Teams are going to much more likely to let a mid-tier guy go if it helps them afford to keep their stars. And while I do think role players are important, they do get overpaid quite a bit sometimes. The true superstars are the ones selling tickets, they deserve to get paid. A mid-tier guy might be valuable on the court, but not as many people are coming to the games looking forward to seeing them play.

I love these new roles it makes things more interesting and forces teams to adapt. But at the same time I do y cause I will miss the super team era. I hope we see a lot of big trades and signings in the future.

[NickellaElla]

I’ve been wondering what the point of contracts were in the NBA.

[RichFlemingRealtor]

If guys want to get paid, more of them will have to go to small market teams. the structure truly will move towards 1 super max, 1 or 2 max and a bunch of role players. The players agreed to this, because it should help spread money among more players as oppsed to just the superstars.

I’m so happy to have Sam Presti in OKC.

It feels good to have a new CBA, 1st Team All-NBA Shai and 15 1st round picks to build an effective roster. 🧡💙

I do love how this new CBA makes it so that the entire NBA is competitive not just super teams

[therealgil]

The only thing I don’t like, is that if a team draft the right way they will still get forced to let one of their stars go

[lukeswank]

Im a jazz fan and they have never won a title and im am stoked to see them do something, also ur videos are literally the best!

[Inmyforces]

Really appreciate the deep dive on the CBA. Player empowerment is over!

[KidGOAT.]

I think the new CBA will only effect role players to where they won’t get paid like they would now. Examples Brogdon, hield, bogdan

[Herz.Seele.Verstand]

I think that the new CBA rules will change the league to more interesting and competitive teams. Some criticize that drafted players can't resign when they getting better. But this thing will have all teams. So skilled players will spread all over the league. Probably the salaries will decrease. Perhaps I am wrong, but getting back to back champion will now be harder than before. Overall I like the new rules.

I’m so exited to see how Victor Wembanyama turns out in the NBA

[mdoliner]

I think fans love dynasties, which is another way of saying they love excellence. The history of the NBA is the history of dynasties. A league of a lot of average teams is not going to appeal to fans even if their team does win once in awhile.

You're a very good story teller dude, keep up the great work
