Trade & FA 2023-24: HOU Targeting Mikal Bridges again!| Mitchell is LAL #1 Target

Real problems for teams come when their stars hit the supermax deals. Boston in two years and Mavs in three. While supermax was designed with an intention for small market teams being able to keep their homegrown stars, their high salary is actually very limiting towards roster building. The real advantage would be, if that supermax difference wouldn't count towards salary cap. The way it is, you are able to pay your star more than others, but also limited towards what you can put next to them, as they take 35 % of salary cap space on their own.
