Draft Penalties at a certain salary level
- will likely result in fewer of these crazy max contracts for non-max guys
- overall salary deflation for guys 7 to 9 - these guys should be paid at the mid level, not starter salary of 18 to 20 million per year
- guys 10 to end of bench will be rookies or second rounders on rookie scale contracts (which don’t count against the cap, so second rounders are better), or vet minimums- no more “15.9 million d rose mentoring contracts” for unplayable players
- second rounders are more valuable than late firsts as the salaries don’t count against the cap
- devaluation of stockpiling more than 10 draft picks as will be hard to make those picks, hence overpaying with many picks in trades
- more stash picks / euros to burn the excess picks that must be used but no roster spot
- more undrafteds to 2 way contracts as there are now 3 2-way contracts per team
- fewer “old veterans” on high legacy contracts
- more league parity - with increased premium placed on coaching and player development
- fewer big trades due to contract bloat
- increased premium on height/size - hence smart for porzingis
- increased emphasis on the G league for development and call ups
- teams keeping a roster spot or two open
- fewer older players
- shorter contracts as greater chance of underperforming and unable to trade - see EF
- more team options
- more descending contracts - see Mitch
Second apron $172 mil. Warriors are going to be forced to salary dump Klay or Draymond Green by next February

The problem is - players expect the old cap $$
Teams are giving out old cap $$
Come mid season or so, teams are going to have the new reality set in and look to dump players, giving up draft capital to do so
Then teams are going to become more frugal in a year or two
New cap is very punitive
Also - more partially guaranteed, non-guaranteed and incentive based guaranteed contracts

The intent behind the second apron is to eliminate superteams going forward
