Golden State Warriors superstar Draymond Green has furiously blasted the NBA and players union over the latest collective bargaining agreement, which will start this summer.
A seven-year CBA was struck, which will include a second luxury tax level that will keep teams from using their mid level exception to sign players when reached. The thinking behind the move was to find a better balance between the teams that are willing to pay enormous tax bills, like Green’s reigning NBA champions Warriors, and those who aren't.
According to ESPN, the CBA second salary cup “apron”, which is $17.5million (£14.1m) over the tax line, would hinder teams who spend highly on the salary cap and luxury tax. Golden State's Donte DiVincenzo, Milwaukee's Joe Ingles, Boston's Danilo Gallinari, Brooklyn's Patty Mills and former Clippers guard John Wall wouldn't have been able to sign with those teams last summer had this change been in effect at that point in time.
