[Woj] ESPN Reporting with @BobbyMarks42 : In new CBA, high-spending teams above a second-apron of luxury tax aren’t allowed to send cash in deals, trade first-round picks seven years away or sign players in the buyout market.

>This is gonna be a big deal for the Sixers if they’re able to re-sign James Harden this summer.
>They’re going to be over the second apron if they keep Shake/Reed/McDaniels/Niang, and they already can’t trade a 1st until 2029 at the earliest.
I have a feeling knowledge of some of the things on the table for this CBA motivated Morey getting under the tax this deadline to have options open for the future
My gut feeling is that expiring contracts are going be more valuable. I would imagine many teams would want to clear salary before the new CBA kick in. That may give us an opportunity to get something valuable with our expiring contract
When we had Jimmy, I was sure we’d re-sign him and focused my attention to finding a way to retain JJ and Tobias. So I’m gonna need them to re-sign Harden and hope for the best after that.
Idk what we gain by making a bunch of rules to protect millionaire owners from competition with billionaire owners. If they can’t afford to put a competitive team out on the floor then they can’t afford an NBA franchise.
