I think the new lotto rules may increase the parity even more. Especially when you combine that lotto setup with all the new apron stuff. It all seems to really be constricting teams in how they build. I think it’ll start showing more in the next few years.
Everyone talking dynasties and five championships and my stupid team has a Temu owner ready to sell the memory of 1977 for a buck fifty.
An interesting aspect of that is the fact that the new lottery format has a three year window, and then it can be re-evaluated. The current CBA can be opted out of after the 28-29 season, so things could change again in a few years.
