RE: More Proof That Salary Caps are Just Bizarre
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Personally, I like the salary cap because the idea is to try to make it so that small markets can share against the big ones, but if we put it into reality, as you well explain in the post, they will always find a way to break that cap to attract the best players to those teams. I would be extremely upset if I wasn't paid well for my work, so in the end, and being honest, that salary cap doesn't prevent anything, since they pay the luxury tax when I think a more complex fine would be taking away first-round picks or not being able to sign free agents.

I definitely get what you are saying but I think proper revenue sharing is a better answer.
Adequate distribution of income sounds good on paper, but the best players will always want to be in the cities with the most media exposure: New York, Los Angeles, Boston, as well as some others, such as Chicago, which is a good place to be because the greatest, His Majesty MJ, played there.
