We already have parity. We’ve had 9 different teams make the NBA finals since the last CBA was signed 7 years ago. And we’ve had first time wins by the Raptors and Nuggets. Bucks had their first championship in 50 years. Bucks and Nuggets are also small market teams.

Will the new CBA maintain or increase parity? It’s possible, but this shit always has unintended consequences. If it were up to me I would have only made minor changes to this CBA and seen if the parity would continue instead of what the NBA agreed to. I don’t think the drastic changes were necessary. I think we’ll see a lot less player movement with the new CBA which will make the off-season much less interesting.
