That's more equitable.

That thing's not bad.

You can make every rookie a free agent with a hard cap.

Why not just give these kids the ability to go wherever they want and make the salary cap hard?

Hard salary cap, no salary limit on individual players, but a hard cap, similar to other sports.

You don't even have to be bright to be an NBA.

And I guess I fell as an NBA GM, so that says a lot about me.

Oh, this guy's a max player.

How much do we pay him?

Well, let me look up what the max is for his contract.

The level of creativity that's required to build a team in American sports is zero.

Especially in the NBA.

You're told what you can play the player.

You know exactly what the mid-level exception is.

You know exactly what the demand on years of service.

You know what the rookie minimum wage scale is, the rookie maximum scale is.

So yeah, if you want to just bring back the integrity of the game without...

jeopardizing your golden goose gambling over there that you're so happy to cap for over and over and over again.

And you don't want to go with Mike Zarin's wheel, which seems you just make it so that there's no draft.
