NBA commissioner Adam Silver defended the 'second apron' provision in the new CBA, saying it helps keep the league balanced and competitive.
) is a senior writer for ESPN Digital and Print, focusing on the NBA. He has covered the Lakers, the Celtics and previously worked for The Boston Globe and Los Angeles Times.
"We're now in the apron world," Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka said in early July."We've seen contending teams or championship-level teams have to lose players. That's a result of the apron world we're living in. So, does it make trades more challenging? Yes. Does it make good trades impossible? No."
"But at the same time, I think this new system, while I don't want it to be boring, I want to put teams in a position, 30 teams, to better compete. I think we're on our way to doing that.", and Silver, in part, suggested that changes in successive CBAs have helped the league become more competitive over time. He also downplayed the idea that the league was trying to limit teams from going on dynastic runs.
"I understand the family circumstances and why he and his family have elected at this moment to sell the franchise. I'm frankly saddened by it, just because not only have they won two championships, but beyond that they've operated the team in a first-class manner and he's been a first-class owner in this league."
