The cap isn't harder for most teams, and with veteran contracts shorter and potentially cheaper (smaller max raises), the savings on rookie deals are not as great as they once were. I'd guess rookie scale contracts lost trade value in the new CBA.

The "apron" effectively hard caps the big markets pretty damn well. The only way for a guy like Prickoff or Allen to attempt to buy a team is to re-sign their own Bird's Rights players. I.e. the Nets cannot receive a player in a sign and trade.

The Jazz can take advantage of this by taking unprotected picks years out from teams who are getting desperate.

The only saving grace for the big markets today is the speed of cap increases that are being projected -- they can potentially grow out of their problems.

Really? I'm on expert on the CBA but I thought before the new CBA draft picks were easily sold by smaller market teams needing extra cash. But with the new CBA you hardly get that nowadays.

Uh...money spent buying picks doesn't count against the cap. If teams are less willing to pay for picks, it means those picks are less (not more) valuable.

And?

1.Why would this make rookie scale contracts more valuable?

2. Would this offset the greater cost of rookie scale deals relative to non-rookie scale deals?

What I mean is teams are less willing to SELL picks for just straight up cash (unlike before the CBA).



Teams now would rather hold on to them as they are a good way of getting good quality talent on the cheaper pay scale.
 
Teams can only spend $3M in cash per year rather than per transaction. That has curbed a bunch of the purchasing of picks.

Doesn't really have much to do with pay scale.
 
It nice to see the Jazz being active on the trade front. It shows they are trying and not just playing it conservative.

Sorry but I'm not getting into the middle of your beef with Nickkkk. Clicking "view post" is too damn much work.
