Player movement will be "infinitely harder" under the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement, according to general managers.

But the 2011 free agency period will take place in accelerated fashion this December and involve a lot of movement.

Bucher's ESPN colleague Henry Abbott takes the opposite view on player movement.

"You know you love the excitement of a trade. And there’s going to be more of that," writes Abbott. "The old CBA went to some trouble to keep teams united. The new one, not so much. The league noticed that LeBron James’ desertion of Cleveland spurred more interest in the NBA, not, as feared, less. It’s no accident the new system will inspire a lot of player movement."
