Talking to NBA teams over the last few days a theme has emerged:
Caution with long-term deals. With the cap projected to rise only 7% for
2026-27 vs what was thought to be a near-guaranteed max of 10%, teams are
wary of signing deals that will outpace the growth of the cap. (Most
contracts will grow off of 8% raises, which is now bigger than the expected
cap growth is.)
This has impacted rookie scale extensions for the 2022 Draft class, as well
as negotiations with RFAs this summer. We've seen very little movement with
either of those markets thus far.

Keith跟其他聯盟球隊交談的結論
就是各隊在躲避長期合約,因為明年的薪資上限預計只會漲7%,本來大家都預計是10%
,也因此各隊對於現在要給長年限的合約態度變得保守
(因為如果母隊續約的合約每年數字增加幅度每年是8%,就會變相超越明年遞增的薪資)
這也造成一個問題就是2022梯次可以提前續約的新秀部分,以及RFA市場上幾乎毫無動靜
就是本來大家就已經都在替明年留空間以外,現在考慮上漲幅度又要控制好合約的年限
跟長度
今年搞不好新秀續約的部分有一些球員的價格會比預期的稍低一點,或是乾脆放到明年
再看看
現在看JSJ那種先談好的是超級特異點
因為就算放在往年,這種非頂新秀合約談判很容易到10月快截止前才談完,球隊跟球員
會拉鋸一下
靠北 他開市前就談好了 真的神速啊這個
不過應該過幾天那種可以穩拿頂的 例如板橋羅應該會先出來
Chet跟Jalen Williams或許其中一人就會符合這種狀況,要拉鋸一下了
