The 10% discount for previous owners in FA bidding is already a large benefit for owners as well (forgot to stress this). I'm worried managers would only use the tag in situations where they could get even more than 10% off open market value, and those contracts are the ones I'm very worried about since they will be significantly cheaper than the player's real value

Last you guys will hear from me on the matter, I promise
I can't stress enough how much I hate this change. I've been on record many times as stating that unhealthy contracts are what we should be aiming to avoid, not create more of; and this change does precisely that. I don't support franchise tags in general in this league because that's a contract mechanism not found in the NBA, but that's an argument for another day. Focusing specifically on this tag, it creates absurdly unhealthy contracts for players who experience large spikes in production in a short period of time (happens frequently). Domantas Sabonis and Julius Randle, for instance, would earn close to the full franchise tag yearly value if subjected to free agency, but instead their owners will be given the option to keep them for *four* years at around $10m less per year than their true value. That is unhealthy for the league plain and simple. I say this all as someone who would be incentivized to use this exact tag on Ben Simmons. If the point of the league is to work with the salary cap to acquire production at reasonable cost, then why are we arbitrarily introducing mechanisms to circumvent the salary cap? Sounds like many would just prefer no cap at all from that angle. It could be that I joined this league for reasons different than many others, but I joined with the intent to manage a team within a league that most closely mirrors the circumstances of managing an actual NBA franchise. With that being my motivation for joining, there is no reason for me to support this change. 15

I'm seeing a lot of overlap in player representation at the different positions. SF is a catch-all in the sense that a lot of PFs also have SF designation, as do a significant number of SGs. In the current franchise tag calculations, players are only designated with one position via Spotrac right? Should the same not apply in the case of the 2nd franchise tag?
I don't like the idea of specific players seeing substantial rises in value due to being just outside the top 15 cutoff, but if the players are only represented in one position like I suggested above, then I don't expect the 2nd tag to be valuable in 99% of cases. I guess succinctly, I don't mind the change as long as it doesn't turn into something that is as or more practically valuable than the actual franchise tag. 16

Just to be clear this trade was agreed upon after LeVert's injury was made known, correct?
Honestly pretty on the fence regardless because it feels like Pelicans is running away like a bandit here. Hayward is better than DeRozan in most respects, but I'll admit injury risk is more a concern with the former. LeVert is an expiring and worth nothing this season, Nunn is playing worse than last season, and Kings is giving up 2 guys who were lottery picks a few months ago. I don't see how Kings chalks this up as a win, but I'm willing to let managers play how they want to. 20
