The Pelicans are going to be a load if they can keep people on the floor - but with that core group, good luck.
I just don't think there's a ton of teams can consistently exploit the Mavs defensively - to your point, Golden State obviously will. Even the Clippers, I kinda just think that's a matchup the Mavs can figure out to a degree enough to keep things competitive. They've already shown it.
Everyone else - at least right now - just kinda feels like Luka's going to be a gravitational black hole and it's more a matter of whether or not the Mavs get hot and make shots.
They're going to have to make a move at some point - I just don't know when/what that looks like. I still think not maxing Brunson was probably the right move for this group long-term, but it's obviously going to hurt in the short-term as they ride out finding another path to a true second ball handler.

Kinda dumb because wouldn't that mean less revenue to share with small markets? They'll reach some kinda compromise

Westbrook owns a dealership? I just saw a Hyundai SUV that had plates Garden Grove Hyundai at the top, and Russell Westbrook at the bottom.
Brodie may not get another max payday, but it looks like he’s got enough investment to be alright.

The bigger markets already have the advantage, i dont see a problem with it. How can small market s compete when even best case scenario you draft right, bring in high value fas and shrewd trades, you got like 2 bad years and even in some cases while a team is good before your stars want to be traded to a more neapolitan market who can also afford to surround them with 9 other max contract players

As soon as a smaller market drafts the right guy they're cooked too because you max him out and have even less resources to fill out the roster i.e. Bucks

Hard caps are bad for sports. All these owners are billionaires. If they wanna win, spend money. Hard caps lower player salaries who are the reason this machine even exists.

I wouldn't overreact. Every time they negotiate, the owners start with a hard cap knowing the players will say no.
Even more foolish now because everyone is making money unlike in 2011.

If it didn’t happen in 2011 after the Heatles, less than 0% chance it happens now.
If anything they’ll meet in the middle & increase the luxury tax penalties, but I doubt they even do that.
