Pretty sure this also resets the repeater tax, now they need to stay below 73 million next year and it's free spending without sanctions for the following 5 years
Injuries can just make or break any player. Bynum was the 2nd best center 2 years ago. Brandon Roy was arguably in the top 4 SGs a few years back etc. Kobe, Rose etc.
I was actually really discourgaged when Matt Barnes was with the Lakers bec he was always hurt during the playoffs.
It seems to me majority of the teams now have adapted that 1-2 stars/superstars + sign a bunch of cheap role players on very short term contracts formula.
TWolves the last couple of years, tried to sign 6-8 pretty good role players from a range of 4-7 mil/year but it backfired too.
To me, teams with superstars can use good complementary players like Blake.
Chalmers, Fisher etc these guys did helped their teams before.
