You can have early bird rights after 2 years as well. The % salary increase is a little different, but the concept is the same.

For this reason bird rights on players are generally much more valuable to over cap teams.

Yes. I believe the hold is 150% of the previous year's salary for most bird rights players. For Lee, it's going to be $10.5 mil. That's why Bird rights have almost no value to teams under the cap.

I also understand that the owners need to make money too, so it's really just not a good situation.

Basically, I just don't trust the owners who say they aren't making enough money.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I really hope they find a way to work this out.

Garnett seems to be conserving most of his energy for defense. That's probably a smart strategy.

Rondo is the best player on the court.

EDIT: Getting less and less close.

My number one concern with the contract negotiations is that the max salary gets lowered. It's already damn near impossible for a team to win a title without a top 5 player, and if those elite players get further underpaid it's going to get worse.

Lowering the cap, or making a hard cap would be much better solutions for the fans.

KG was a Lakers fan growing up. That doesn't really surprise me at all for some reason.

LDO. Saying that some solutions would be better for the fans than others is not saying that the fans are the ones with the problem.
