They want incremental growth on the cap figures over the life of next deal

Matching the new T.V. deal as close as possible

Yes but even if it comes to a lockout or strike, at the end of the day the owners and player's union WILL have to come to an agreement that is acceptable to both sides. And we simply cannot "know" for a fact that the majority of owners want incremental increases. I can see the big spending owners like Dolan, Portland's owner, Ballmer, Cuban, etc wanting the salary cap to rise ASAP so they can splurge.

So in reality we dont know what will happen. Saying it will be small inceremental raises is not any more likely than other scenarios.

I think both sides will agree that there needs to be

An incremental system put in otherwise you're gonna have


A very volatile buy and sell process year-to-year

Players are going to want Max contracts to be fair


Take for instance if the cap were to explode not this summer

Players like like Lebron could be very angry he locked into a contract


At the $60-70 something figure instead of the $80-90 something figure

Although Lebron most certainly is tapped in as anyone and knows when


To exercise his options, it's not gonna work with a system exploding-spiking 1yr

Then coming back down the earth the next, simple logic says so


Now of course none of us know exactly how they will implement this

But most certainly I don't see major extremes taking place
