Jeff Teague RIPS NBA’s second apron: “BAD for players” | Club 520
Jeff Teague and Club 520 react to the NBA offseason and discuss the NBA CBA’s second apron. They explain why it’s good for the owners but bad for the players and why it’s going to change how teams are built around the league. Teague specifically mentions Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s OKC Thunder and Jayson Tatum’s Boston Celtics, and how the second apron will potentially end both team’s run at a championship in the near future.

See my mavs ain’t have to worry about it
We got all our players under contract and only AD make over 40m
And Kyrie the only other one that make over 20m
The owners and their lawyers and their executives work on contracts and business agreements full time and have for years.
The NBAPA guys are in way over their heads when it comes navigating these meetings and getting a good deal.
They fought for 51/49 revenue share and the owners said fine, but they gonna make that money back
Fat dude de just be yapping frfr he only here for entertainment purposes 😂
Well top guys gotta take less then. The top guys eating up such a high percentage of the cap is why middle guys and lesser guys cant get paid. Its always gonna be the case in a salary cap system. If OKC wants to keep its team together all those guys gotta take less.
It’s like a football contract
It’s definitely going to be another lock out
People should be more upset with Cj and the others involved with the union. I remember when the deal was proposed, I was surprised the players didn’t go on strike lmao.
It’s great for the fans, fucks up the money for the players though.
Take the soccer idea and add homegrown players that will take larger contracts but will overall be treated less harshly
The CBA didn't kill OKC in 2012. Clay Bennett let Harden walk over $8 million dollars because he was too cheap to pay a little bit of luxury tax to keep a potential dynasty together. The second apron is a completely different beast. It makes it damn near impossible to effectively run an NBA franchise if you're over it for too long. I don't mind it tho. It prevents superteams, promotes parity and makes it costly for teams to heard talent. GMs will atually have to evaluate talent and think twice before they give out max contracts like candy. It's the closest the modern NBA has come to a hard cap.
Nba owners saw how the nfl was structuring teams and decided thats how they wanna start building out their teams now…
Get a supermax player or two(okc is going to have three supermax players BUT a lot of cheap rookie talent with all them damn picks) and surround the stars with decent role players not too overpriced. Very similar to nfl in paying a star qb( or just decent QB) $50+ million per year, a star wr or DE and surround the qb with cheap talent elsewhere.
The NBAPA should have never signed this new cba, owners r taking back control and the players just now realizing
D’Lo has made $175 million for one all star appearance. It’s time for him to take a cut
Getting millions of dollars and fighting for your life doesn’t or shouldn’t be in the same sentence.
I don’t mind the apron at all from a fan standpoint. But yea players are going to be getting bread the same way. The days of Tobias Harris level players getting max contracts might be over for now until they renegotiate.
That’s why LeBron opted in he know it’s his last year to get paid like this he gonna have to take a pay cut or sign somewhere else next season
Yeah this feels like the 90s when they got the salary bump. Each team had 1 definitive star and the rest get paid maybe 15% of the top guy.
The CBA should have exceptions for homegrown draft picks for the entirety of their continuous stay with the franchise. Like the salary should only count as 70 or 80% towards the cap or something.
Spence ain’t yet no 14 Ms he got 3.5
Current CBA goes through the 2029-30 season. If the players union is smart they will make sure this second apron is not included or adjusted
Teague should tweet this to cj
NBA owners duped the dumb asss players in the latest CBA
Al horford should not be making over a vet min come on
Watched my heat play Jay huff in summer league few years back; he the truth Jeff. Indy will be ight
Poor Al horford can’t get 10 million dollars dudes got 200+ million in the bank, we real out here living a delusional life talking bout these guys.. they hoop they don’t contribute to society enough to warrant that type of money.. get your bread but I ain’t shedding tears
NBA players bitch about literally everything.
The second apron is so teams stop paying regular ass role players like mpj hundreds of millions….
I actually love the second apron as a fan of a small market team, I'm happy that the Lakers aren't the dodgers of basketball even though the NBA tries to make them that. I'm happy everybody doesn't go to Miami New York and LA. I don't think teams should be skilled based on how large the owners checkbook is
These OKC players getting PAID. They keeping every single player. What you talking about bro?
Everybody selfish
It’s always been like this. Only isn’t like that when you get a lucky contract. Like when steph won back to back mvps he was making like 10 million. So obviously the rest of the team will be stacked.
