This is all kinds of wrong. The new CBA punishes teams that try to win, in ways that no other sport has ever contemplated, let alone put in place. The NBA is giving the Warriors no choice but to tear their team apart this offseason. Disgraceful.
Might explain why they aren't re-signing Bob Myers. It would be almost cruel to have Myers be forced to tear down the team he has built. It's pretty obvious he has special relationships with Steph, Klay, and Dray.

Just one terrible provision:
One new penalty that generated brobdingnagian criticism was the “jailing” for future draft picks for teams that exceed the second apron. Those teams will not be able to trade a first-round pick seven years in the future, limiting the haul available for Durant-style blockbusters. More importantly, perhaps, if those teams stay above the tax apron in more than one of the next four years, the pick gets pushed to the end of the first round in the year in question … regardless of where the team might finish.
