    Details on new CBA:

    * The NBA is curbing the ability of the highest-spending teams, such as the Golden State Warriors and the LA Clippers, to continue running up salary and luxury tax spending while still maintaining mechanisms to add talent to the roster. The NBA is implementing a second salary cap apron — $17.5 million over the tax line — and those teams will no longer have access to the taxpayer mid-level in free agency. Those changes will be eased into the salary cap over a period of years.
    * NBA is tying eligibility for postseason awards — such as All-NBA teams and MVP — to a mandatory 65 games played. The 65-game minimum does come with some conditions.
    * The in-season tournament could arrive as soon as the 2023-24 season. The event will include pool-play games baked into the regular-season schedule starting in November — with eight teams advancing to a single-elimination tournament in December. The Final Four will be held at a neutral site, with Las Vegas prominent in the discussion
    * The NBA and NBPA have agreed to increase the upper limits on extensions from a 120% increase on a current deal to 140%
    * There is an increase in two-way contract slots, jumping from two to three per team.
    * Not in this article but, NBA players will no longer be prohibited from using marijuana under the new CBA

    Thanks for the bullet points. It might be controversial to say, but I honestly have no qualms with any of the changes.
