It well be interesting to see what comes of the new CBA. I can see a lot of the owners that are smaller markets pushing for something like a franchise tag like they have in the NFL. So that players can do what Bosh and LeBron did and there well be more balance to the league without these super teams being formed all the time. The owners might not get a franchise tag but they well be given more to try to keep there star on there team for sure.

The Franchise tag in the NFL lets a team tag one player so they can not leave the team. It is there "franchise" player. If I read it correctly the tag can be changed on a yearly basis. But in the NFL with the contracts can be waved so you can change them year to year.

For example Vick is going to be tagged by the Eagles so he can't leave in FA this of season even though he would be a FA.

I think it is a good idea personally because it gives teams like the Jazz, Raptors, Cavs the chance to keep there star player no matter what.
 
But wouldnt a player have to agree to this in the CBA? Also arent the careers of NFL players much shorter than that of an NBA player...on the average. I mean, you know one player is going to bring up being stuck in Utah for his whole career.

You are correct on all accounts. It can only be done 2 years in a row. In the NBA that would be 2 contracts in a row to make it the same.
Here are the actual rules:

Yes the Players Union would have to agree to this in the new CBA. So there is no way it happens. But I think it would be a good Idea to be able to keep the guy you drafted for longer than a 3 year rookie contract. Or in D Will, Lebron, Melo, Bosh. longer than just leaving the team high and dry if they walk out.
