Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

[Habsy]

No cap
Luxury tax
Franchise player status

 

[GrandWazoo]

Yep.

But I doubt players side would be on board with most of it.

Disagree, there is actions that would benefit teams and players.

 

[GrandWazoo]

What is the league gonna do , move CMD around every year for 10 game stretches to the shit teams

Make the nets 2 feet smaller for shit teams against playoff teams

Teams stink mainly because of bad personnel decisions , coaching , etc.....

Wow, you can't be that devoid of imagination.

Any examples?

I can see things like reducing contract length, reducing time until UFA, increasing draft age, etc

Here are few options, you can cut a player after 3 years into a contract and not have it count on the cap, put a max of maybe 2 players), and then you could have buyouts on top of that.

or, the buyout cap hit is only over 2 years, not twice the number of years left, yes you are hit for 2 years on cap, but out from under after, and make it only 50% counts toward cap

Or, no guaranteed contracts like the NFL BUT huge signing bonuses prorated, some cap hit but can cut salary if necessary.

You can have one player NOT count toward the cap.

Lower UFA age so players are not signing 8 year contracts at 22 knowing they can go to highest bidder at 24.

It is inexcusable that teams have to rebuild for 5-8 years to have a shot at a playoff spot and still expect fans to fork out 400 a ticket to watch a team whose management is not even trying to win.

Pretty much anything that increases their autonomy with costing them money, or increase the money they get. Reducing time to autonomy, more flexible buyout rules (without impacting money owed to players), less draft rounds (meaning more young free agent players), luxury tax (more money), etc.

More offer sheets need done too with a franchise tag for one player so that every team can afford a superstar

Yeah reducing the compensation for offer sheets would help too. And I can’t see players being opposed to this.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Or just being able to use acquired picks for compensation would open up tons of possibilities.

Not sure if Montgomery survives that one?

Offer sheets are the low hanging fruit. They need to be less restrictive.

Offer sheets and buyouts imo.

So just making nets different sizes for different teams?
