With the NBA’s new TV deal worth $24 billion and the subsequent rise in the salary cap, Kevin Durant suggested they should get rid of max contracts in the new CBA. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban countered that argument saying if they get rid of max contracts then players have to give up guaranteed contracts as well. Kevin Durant is apparently not fond of that idea.
NBA: Mark Cuban Says If Players Want to Get Rid of Max Contracts They Have to Give Up Guaranteed Contracts

Kevin Durant suggested that there should no longer be max contracts, therefore eliminating the limit on how much players could be offered. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had a counter for that suggestion and said if that goes through then contracts should no longer be guaranteed.
