Standard of the NBA?

Best season for quite some time in my opinion. The GSW and SAS series was fun to watch also.

Some really heavy luxury tax rates come in next season. Teams have already built their rosters based on them:

Teams will pay $3.25 for every dollar over (if $15-$20m over the cap).

I hope Micky has deep pockets for next season.

The number of rookies has more with the last collective bargaining agreement, and the disincentives to spend over the cap; players on rookie contracts are cheap, expect fewer minutes than primed veterans, have more potential for improvement, more favorable contracts due to non-garunteed salaries and team options etc etc.

The quality may be worse but the leagues primary concern is maintaining the 'entertainment' aspect of their product, which is a slightly different issue, and thus the style of play will continue to change over time. This may be what you're noticing, if not diminishing "quality" - hard to tell.
