The NBA and NBPA proceed to barter their subsequent collective bargaining settlement. One a part of the talks that isn’t anticipated to be a part of the ultimate settlement is a tough cap, which the NBA has euphemistically known as an “Higher Spending Restrict.”
In early December, Marc Stein of Substack reported that the NBA was real of their pursuit of a tough cap and that it wasn’t merely a negotiating tactic.Â
“There’s not going to be a tough wage cap… I do not suppose,” stated Brian Windhorst on his podcast. “I do not need to speak in absolutes. I believe if that was actually on the desk, I do not suppose we might be listening to there’s momentum in talks.Â
“There appears like there shall be modifications to the luxurious tax system. Doubtlessly making the excessive payrolls much more penal to attempt to get them below management. Additionally, presumably altering the degrees of which groups are taxed, so there could also be a give and take.”
