Kyle Kuzma isn’t happy with the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Bucks forward took to social media (Twitter link) to blast the agreement as bad for players and fans with tax aprons functioning as a “hard cap.”

“The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement,” Kuzma wrote in part. “Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place.”

Kuzma added that the next CBA is a “do or die moment for us” and that the players need better representation.

“We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re-evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us.” he concluded. “This is not anti-parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.”
