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

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,
