The NBA and NBPA is expected to address the Gilbert Arenas provision as part of their new collective bargaining agreement talks.

The Arenas provision limits the amount of money a rival team can offer a restricted free agent with two or less years of service. The first two seasons of a contract can't exceed the mid-level exception but there can be a substantial poison pill raise for Year 3 and Year 4.

Tyler Johnson, for example, signed a four-year deal with the Nets that was matched by the Heat. Johnson will earn less than $6 million in each of the first two seasons while Year 3 and Year 4 will be worth $19.2 million per season.

A change to the Arenas provision would allow matching teams to distribute the salary more evenly across the length of the contract.
