0:00.0 | You are Locked on Warriors, your daily Golden State Warriors podcast. I'm Daniel Rue, your host, and so happy to bring you your team every day. |
0:07.0 | I mentioned that I was unsure at the end of the Spurs podcast, whether I was going to do something today. |
0:13.0 | And I decided the happy medium was to do something small and make it something intensely CBA nerdy. |
0:19.0 | So that's a collective bargaining agreement for those of you |
0:21.5 | who don't know it. And so that means for a lot of you, it's not going to be that interesting. |
0:25.7 | I am giving you that fair warning and fair notice that this is a very specific thing, but I thought |
0:31.0 | it was interesting. And I was planning on writing a piece about it anyway. So I'm going to write a |
0:35.0 | piece for the athletic, which should come out on Friday. I don't know when in the day it'll be ready to be out. But it's on this very small but specific |
0:42.1 | issue that actually does affect the Warriors, which is why this is going to be done on a Warriors podcast. |

1:08.3 | good thing because as maximums went up, as the salary cap went |
1:11.9 | up, minimum contracts were not tied to the salary cap. So what happened is they got really outstripped |
1:16.9 | by everything else. They just, they didn't rise fast enough. And there are some competitive |
1:21.3 | disadvantage problems. There are just a couple of different things. You just don't want to see |
1:24.4 | some guys making that little when there's a lot to go around. |
1:27.9 | So the owners and players came together and they made an agreement to raise that. And they also |
1:32.8 | raised the rookie scale and they also raised some of the exceptions like the mid-level exception |
1:37.1 | and all that sort of stuff. So all of that is going on at the same time. And what is really |
1:42.9 | interesting is so you think about that and you think, |
1:45.2 | okay, well, if you're raising minimum contracts, you know, nice, that does a lot of different |
