I think things are cool the way they are, but at the same time, it seems like this league has more talent than ever, which results in higher salaries than ever.

For example:

Boston Celtics -$33,211,669
Miami Heat -$37,422,998
New York Knicks -$32,473,528
Orlando Magic -$34,762,538
Philadelphia 76ers -$34,787,243
Cleveland Cavaliers -$34,055,080
Detroit Pistons -$34,594,131
Indiana Pacers -$34,234,885
Milwaukee Bucks -$33,384,450
Toronto Raptors -$34,211,237
Dallas Mavericks -$33,658,878
Denver Nuggets -$32,135,768
Houston Rockets -$33,118,188
Minnesota Timberwolves -$31,284,201
San Antonio Spurs -$35,400,967
Memphis Grizzlies -$34,902,341
Los Angeles Clippers -$34,834,644
Los Angeles Lakers -$34,950,222
Phoenix Suns -$34,870,810
Portland Trail Blazers -$34,735,273
Seattle SuperSonics -$34,812,672

21 out of 29 teams are ridiculously close to the hard cap.
I'm not sure if it's like that every year, but it's a pretty shocking number.

Do you think that a raise to 87 or 88 mil. hard cap is a possibility or should it be out of the question?

Andres Kemp is the man

Continue to fuck over teams currently trying to compete and N'awlins will be fine.

You should lower the soft cap to like 47-48. It'll keep contracts down a lil

That's where GMs get into trouble.
