Kyle Kuzma aired out his grievances with the NBA’s current collective bargaining agreement Friday and shot off some fireworks before the July Fourth weekend.The 30-year-old Milwaukee Bucks forward warned that the NBA Players Association has to be prepared for the next CBA negotiations because, he feels, “the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement.”“The @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight,” Kuzma wrote on X. “The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside. Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue.”The league and owners pushed for a hard cap during the negotiations that led to the 2023 deal that set the current apron system.
After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it….
