Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 1996645, member: 405"] I think the money is too concentrated at the top. Don't the top 10 / top 20 guys in the league make enough extra from endorsements already? What is the difference between low-$20 millions per year for a star in recent years, and high twenties/low thirties under a new CBA? Is it worth sucking all the money out of the budget to build a roster, if there's not worth it if there's not enough money left to get decent professionals to fill out the roster? I'd rather see the top earner capped at a percentage of overall cap number, not just the league-wide max. So if the team pays out big to sign a big star, they can't cheap out on the rest of the roster. They have to be forced to invest more money in the roster, when revenue sharing between the league and the union is based on a percentage of the overall revenues? Teams should be financially encouraged to field a competitive roster. [/QUOTE]
