Like I said before. Agree to disagree. Some people predict one thing. Some predict another thing. All guesses. I'm just sick of the warriors dominance and I like how the NFL works. I would like to try something new.
Doesn't matter though cause it's never gonna happen.

Did happen. The NBA tried to institute a hard cap in the early 1980s, and created exceptions for it almost immediately.

Yep. Then MJ broke the entire structure when he came back from baseball and demanded $30+ per year. The system hasn't truly made sense since.

When you go a break down the 1996-97 and 1997-98 Bulls, you will realize how bogus the NBA was even back then.
In 1996-97, MJ made over twice as much as the next highest player in the league and 3x more than anybody outside the top 5 salaries. To make matters worse, the Bulls also had Rodman who was a top 10 NBA salary and Pippen who wasn't far behind that. So really, Chicago got to spend twice as much on their squad as other teams did on theirs. Shocking it took them 6 games to beat us.
Anybody who blames current players or LeBron for league issues really should be looking at their false idol MJ. But of course that guy never gets negative press.

Uh, no.
That's not why the Bird rule exists?

You’re statement that we wouldn’t be able to keep Donovan if this was the NFL is patently false.

And we've tried universal health Care and made exceptions for it almost immediately. Not worth trying again amiright?

Actually the players have very little to do with any of what you are talking about, other than the player's Union in negotiating the CBA. It's the proliferation of money and the profit sharing from the most recent CBA's that are really driving the parity issues. The players are taking full advantage, and you really can't blame them for taking what is given. That is why we need to here better control over the money to help drive better parity.
It might be. We don't know how high the limit for a hard cap would be, and the sorts of prices Gobert and Mitchell would command. I agree it's not certainly true, but it would be a danger.
Is there a better way to do a hard cap than they used in the 1980s?
