I prefer that the league doesn't hold the hands of the teams that suck at their job, in what other line of work do you get rewarded for being bad at your job?
And it wouldn't necessarily increase/decrease parity, you'd still have several teams that know what they're doing always competing...
Again I think you are showing that you don't understand the concept that SVG proposed. Or the concept of a free market and market correction. By that I mean look at the free agent deals last year and compare them to this year, that's a market correction
Except the market will regulate itself, in a short period of time teams are going to know what a rookie should cost them, in that case some will be underpaid and some will be overpaid, kinda how the league is now. And this is exactly why smart management is going to be rewarded and bad...
Except not all rookies turn out the same, and most aren't good players for a while, so you're gonna have a roster with a bunch of young guys making a ton of money. Smart managers are going to sign the good rookies or rookies to deals that reflect their performance
The Warriors and Cavs would have been able to sign Markelle Fultz with their non existent cap space?
"If you reward only good teams or "smart" management as youre saying, what will happen to the small market teams?"
What?
