Keith Smith is the smartest NBA man alive

If you ever have a question about the cap or see a claim about salary cap/luxury tax always see what Keith Smith has to say about it. After educating myself about how the NBA works financially through this podcast and others, I realized the things so-called “NBA experts” say are usually not possible through CBA rules. Because of this, anything I see from a “credible” source I double check what Keith has to say about it because he knows the way things work better than any of us online. Listening to Keith and this podcast will make a smarter sports fan, allow you to understand how things are possible, and what realistic moves for teams are. Moral of the story, always listen to Keith!
