Sam Presti discussing the NBA aprons: highly recommended viewing. “It’s giving everybody the same opportunity to make a choice to push in and spend aggressively if they feel they have a team that warrants that. But not everyone can do that, but the choice is there.”

Sure, teams going out & buying every free agent with impunity is bad. But penalising teams that draft well is just plain wrong.

8 straight different teams have won a chip it has done what it was intended to do it made the league fair. My Nuggets won a chip 43 years waiting for that the year before. Had that not happened they would have repeated because they would have kept KCP.

Yeah, now that he benefitted from tanking for years and got it ruined as a tactic, he likes the aprons which heavily favors those with tons of picks, which the Thunder acquired via tanking. That's what having a team that warrants spending means, having picks to fill up the roster

Rob Pelinka has not had a thought this well-informed in his entire life

@BillSimmons @ZachLowe_NBA

Sounds like he showed Adam Silver his plan and Silver said okay let’s make rules so only you win. What a joke

Clay Bennett and ownership:

Presti definitely helped with this rule and it kind of backfired on him… he cried that old was.a small market .. Indiana smh

Intention vs realized are very different. The rules suck.

Bottom Line: 🎯should be REWARDED for DRAFTING Well + sound talent mgt/trade Shall NOT buy🏆brazenly & RELENTLESSLY; poaching📈Stars developed by other teams despite dynasties = ratings should be allowed to sign Stars you DRAFTED/Developed WITHOUT penalty #DubNation #WolvesBack

There shouldve been a earning tax. Not a salary apron.
