The more punishable salary cap system of the NBA under the collective negotiating agreement of 2023 has made team builder more dangerous for a single bad decision and has also placed a greater importance for depth.
“I think the Copycat -Petition of the competition will try to have more teams that focus on depth and a balance and a ‘next man up’ kind of mentality,” said an explorer of the Eastern Conference. “From that perspective there is some validity, especially in this dop environment with the aprons … It is so difficult. The whole ‘big 3’ thing is difficult to take off, for obvious reasons.
“Recording such a large percentage of your cap with those limitations on it, when you get close to the aprons, it is just very difficult to build a great team.”
The new system has the last two offseasons of Paul George in the past two offseases by Paul George, influences the clippers from Los Angeles to Ty Jerome who leaves the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“You must be right with every decision,” said a Western conference Explorer. “Now you have to look at things in not a window of a year, but a three -year window. You can literally ruin nothing. It turns the organization out to think differently and smartly to ensure that you are best positioned to make the right decisions.”
The Oklahoma City Thunder has the luxury of a large 3 in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, along with an excellent depth.
“The fact Isaiah Joe and Jaylin Williams can’t get on the floor [for Oklahoma City] speaks about how deep they are, “said the East Scout.” Those guys would play a ton for most teams. “
