Five out of the 15 players named All-NBA would not have been eligible under the new CBA, which starts in July: Antetokounmpo, Curry, Butler, Lillard, and James. The new agreement will require a minimum of 65 games for league honors.
Tatum and Brown earned spots on one of the three All-NBA teams. As a result, the Celtics duo are now eligible to receive five-year max deals worth a combined $613 million, according to Marc Stein.
Furthermore, a number of talented players were snubbed from the All-NBA teams. Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, the recipient of the NBA Most Improved Player of the Year award, was one of the most notable standouts.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker missed out on an All-NBA selection as well. Suns’ Kevin Durant and Chris Paul fell short, along with Chicago Bulls forward/guard DeMar DeRozan. Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns and Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young were also not listed.
More importantly, Grizzlies guard Ja Morant will miss out on receiving an additional $40 million for not earning an All-NBA team selection this season. His five-year, $194.3 million extension could have increased to a supermax deal worth $233 million.
Then there’s Toronto Raptors forward/center Pascal Siakam. The two-time All-Star missed an All-NBA team selection. Therefore, the Raptors can only offer him a new deal worth up to 30% of the salary cap (four-year, $192.2 million). Now, he’s ineligible for a supermax extension worth 35% of the cap (five-year, $290.3 million).
