I've read one comment on Facebook about a good proposal for all these ruckuses about the contracts of players.
Especially, Kyrie who was being discussed about his "no back-to-back games" and "below 60 games".
I was unable to get the link as there is none and cannot find it anymore to print screen it.
But it goes like "Put him in per game contract if he likes playing only as when he wants to."
If I am not mistaken, this already happened before but I cannot remember who the player was. (Cousins, Melo, or Howard?) I think it's Melo.
The NBPA will surely be unhappy if Adam Silver decides this will be the new program regarding contracts.
The circulating greed for money while being lazy is too high in this era, something must be done or this will be out of control in the future.

I think Adam Silver will really need to step up here, because this is getting out of control now. There is a power shift and power grab amongst superstar players agains the owners.

This owners are willing to pay players super max contract but expect something in return. But recently, in case of Simmons, and the Irving and now Durant, there is no assurance from this owners that this superstars will play for them until the contract expires.

Something has to be done, players can request for a trade if he does not want to play? That's really something. Simmons started it first then we now have Durant and Irving, so now the management are seeing that the players (superstars) are already abusing their right, it's not anymore favorable to the owners who invested a lot of money.

Let's not jump the gun here. That "proposal" or I would rather call it as a rumor was already denied by Kyrie in a simple tweet. No words but a gif tipping of a hat which basically refers to "cap" meaning the report was a lie.

Maybe the part where he hasn't played 60 games yet for the franchise was discussed during the negotiation for his contract but it was taken out of context.
