S6 Ep13: Why the NBA’s max contract bubble is about to burst!

In this episode, we break down why the NBA’s max contract bubble is about to burst. The new CBA, second-apron penalties, shrinking roster flexibility and the rise of availability concerns are forcing teams to rethink who actually deserves max money. We get into why players like Trae Young, Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and Anthony Davis may no longer command the contracts they once did, and why the league is shifting toward a smaller group of true top-tier franchise cornerstones.

We also cover the latest across the NBA: the Pelicans’ long-term bet on Fears and Queen, what Derek Queen’s emergence means for Zion, the Hawks’ internal reset, Warriors and Clippers decline, Toronto’s surge, Detroit’s culture shift, OKC’s dominance, and the league-wide injury wave that has coaches and players questioning the speed of the modern game.

Coach Brendan Suhr gives front-office level insight on contract valuation, team-building economics, trade leverage, and how availability now dictates player worth more than ever. If you want to understand where the NBA is heading, this is the episode.
