I would gently suggest that lifting this "artificial cartel limit", which will still net Kawhi roughly $330 million from 2019-2027 despite him playing 331 games in that span so far, would directly take money out of other players' pockets. Lifting the league-wide limit is not an option & shouldn't be
i would like to gently suggest that, while the outstanding reporting stands on its own and needs no justification, "NBA punishes team owner for crime of paying worker above artificial cartel limit" is perhaps not the vindication of righteous adversarial journalism you were looking for
