These have potential

Coincidence?

I respect @Money23Green but disagree that the apron rules has ended free agency.

Why free agency has shrunk is because nearly 50 potential free agents this summer decided that guaranteed money was too valuable and signed extensions.

The change in extension rules in this CBA allow players more earning power.

We also need to factor in that teams are allowed to negotiate with their own free agents the day after the NBA Finals. That has taken a big bite out of free agents available.

As of today, there is $5.3 billion in player salaries for this season, the same as last year.

That number will only increase as more signings become official.
