First, a primer: the NBA and NBA Player’s Association recently agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement that will last through the 2023-24 season, although there’s a mutual opt-out provision after the 2022-23 season. That means we don’t need to worry about any hand wringing over a potential labor stop for quite some time.
As part of that CBA, there are a number of new provisions that will affect contracts, extensions and potential player retention in the coming years. Obviously, that includes the Milwaukee Bucks, so I’ve compiled a few of those potential ramifications. Again, some of these are speculative given we have no actual knowledge of how the Bucks will handle upcoming extensions or free agent signings in the coming offseason.
