when im commish: 1.)Teams can sign maxed out FAs on a sliding scale, so ok you have steph curry for $30m, the next max you can offer is $22.5m, after that $15m, or something like that. 2.) There's no draft, all college players who lose eligibility or declare become FAs. 3.) There is a lottery that determines which teams (of those who missed the playoffs or have traded into lottery position) have higher budgets to sign "rookies." This way Sacramento can offer Ben Simmons 5/150 if they want, but the Warriors can only offer him 5/25 or something like that. There is certainly no downside to this or way to rig the system.
