The new cap rules and second apron fear is working I guess. Seems to be more and more trades just to create cap relief.
Or maybe owners are more concerned with the lack of ratings and are shedding some of these players who will have these massive extensions pending before there begins to be loss of revenue and the cap number shrinks.
So glad Spoelstra didn’t take Bam out early. Most coaches would, to protect the player from injury in meaningless minutes. I get it - but also it drives me crazy. I wish Steph had been allowed to stay in blowouts during the Warriors’ peak. Oh the records that would have fallen.
