seems like the new CBA is close to a done deal by dec 15th. so will the new CBA actually be a NEW one (rip up the old and start the new rules at the start of july 2017). or will it be AMENDED which implies it can start immediately

the reason why i ask is because in the new CBA, the rumor is they will allow "two-way" contracts and extra roster spots for call ups. it basically means a minor league system in which D-league players now BELONG to their team and CANT be acquired by other teams. if we like randle and want to keep him, i hope this CBA is amended so that the new rules start this dec 15th (other wise the knicks can lose him)

I don't think that's fair financially for the player who's blocked from signing with another team on an nba minimum contract, but stuck on a D league wage. Unless those players are paid the same as nba minimum players.

thats all going to change. once they are called up to the big leagues then they get paid NBA money

Surprised OKC didn't make another run at him since Payne broke his foot

Randle has a broken face (eye orbital?) though, so what is the sense?

Because randles face will be healed much quicker than paynes foot
