I wonder if in the next CBA this is going to be a big issue. I've heard here and there that it will, but I dont know how it gets resolved. Obviously, GMs would desire these second-year contracts to become a little more manageable because it's only going to get worse from here, but what would the players union want?

I dont know if its as cut and dry as you'd think. At first glance, you might assume the union would advocate for these 2nd year players getting paid as much as possible, but we're also seeing that these contracts are taking money and roster spots away from the rest of the players in the league. I know the league is getting younger, but I just wonder where the line is drawn.
