Why so many NBA teams are spooked by the collective bargaining agreement's 'second apron,' explained

Folks, we are nearly 24 hours into the NBA’s free agency period and…somehow, things feel quiet.

Sure, we got a few fireworks here and there between Paul George leaving for the Philadelphia 76ers and some of the other smaller deals made on the market so far.

But, by and large, most teams across the league seem to be taking their sweet time making things happen. On top of that, many of them (looking you, Nuggets and Clippers) seem content to let some of their best players simply walk out the door for nothing.
