Kawhi Leonard and an American scandal
The soul of the NBA is on the line, hyperbole or not. These are the times: we overuse exaggeration yet shrink from it when excess would actually fit. US pro leagues run on a salary-cap economy – what each franchise can spend on player pay – which, basic as it is and despite its exceptions and (sometimes) contradictions, functions as the closest thing to a guarantor of competitive balance and rotation at the top. It’s the yellow-brick road for clubs that do things right, whoever they are and wherever they play. Like any playground game, it only works if no one cheats.
From there come the exceptions, nuances and endlessly open arguments, all shifting with collective bargaining deals that swerve to fix the unintended consequences of the last swerve. The NBA runs a soft cap – a Gruyère wheel riddled with asterisks – not the NFL’s hard cap, an absolute wall. It’s set off a percentage (roughly 50%) of projected basketball related income (BRI): TV rights, ticketing, concessions and game-tied sponsorships.
