Big movesss Dre congrats!!! Hopefully you fix the cba nonsense rules
OK, now all we need is an up-to $20 million/year tax exemption for any players retained by the franchise that drafted them, and we’re good. All those free-agent bottom feeders will be left alone in the luxury tax bracket 🙂
Go get ’em, Iggy!
EDIT: Upon reflection . . .
Let’s say: “A franchise may deduct from its payroll for tax-calculation purposes 50% of the salary of any player drafted by that franchise (or signed in trades prior to the start of their first season), up to a maximum of $20 million/year. A franchise may similarly deduct 5% of the salary of any free agent per year of service with the franchise beginning with the player’s **second** year with the franchise.”
(The latter clause would bring a FA up to equivalence with a drafted player after 10 years of service, which also qualifies as good player retention.)
He’s going to be SO good in that role. Really excited for him and the PA, they got a great one!
What is NBPA? Is it like a union?
