## Resource

The NBA’s new apron rules are reshaping team building and contracts league-wide, impacting contenders and up-and-coming teams like the Magic. Shorter contract lengths, fewer max deals, and increased caution are the new norms as teams adjust. Windows to contend are shorter, and flexibility is more valuable than ever.
