Yeah, champions cap isn't something I'd be for either. I'd rather raise the HC for everyone, or for no one.

Raise the hard cap to about 90 mil, IMO. why so your contract you gave Brand doesn't look so shitty in 3 years? yes. how did you know? that's exactly what I was thinking.

So are you against the champion getting a RC too? That makes the playing field uneven as well but I never heard you detest that. I think its a neat idea. A team like the Lakers if they won the championship this year would really need that rule instead he has to break up his team. Everything isn't even if it was the Lamarcus Aldridge would have taken the max money he offered instead of going elsewhere. And I don't know why you're using the Lakers for your point at all. It's totally baseless; they didn't win the championship, and LaMarcus left because he was a free agent and FBB randomly had him leave the Lakers. I mean, they did offer him a full max, so whatever you're saying, it's irrelevant. It isn't an even playing field....7 yr max > 6 yr max

I like the penalty althought I wish the hardcap was higher. The salary cap is 45 mil yet the hard cap is 85 mil. We adjusted the salary cap but we never adjusted the hardcap. I think this is why we see so many teams in the league flirting with the number. I personally don't like it because I'm a guy who goes out and builds by getting bigger contracts to deal. However it does make the league have so much more competitive balance. On the other hand it sucks breaking up a great team and filling out your roster with 2nd round picks because you know the hardcap will be on the horizon. Salary Cap is 50. Hard Cap at 35 more then the Salary cap is perfect IMO. Makes it hard to stay competitive.

I agree with what Krup says. I think 85 is great but if your going to raise the soft then the hard cap should be raised accordingly too. Contracts are just outrageous due to the raises in the soft cap. Maybe lower the soft cap? or raise the hard cap to 90? you can also have a champions hard like in NBN. Lets say we keep the hard cap at 85. If someone wins then their hard cap for the following season can be raised by 3 mil and if they dont repeat the number goes down 1.5 mil and then 1.5 mil the next. So in 2 years that champion cap would be gone. Since realistically if a team has won a ring the owner is more likely to give em a lil more leeway. Cap hasnt been raised in like 5 years though. I dont really see any problem with the cap or hc.

Too much is done to help weaker gm's. Parity is good and keeping things competitive is good but realistically the soft cap was raised from 43 to 50. Lowering the soft cap to about 46-47 or upping the hard cap to 88 mil would be fair to all.

Do you understand how bad the league is going to be once all the younger guys are out of their maxes. You think guys like Paul PIerce have large contracts just wait.....guys will make more than 50% of the cap soon.

What are you talking about? That's not even kind of rare. Happens in every league, and has happened in every BBS, and we've done a great job avoiding it. Stop bitching.

You think guys like Paul PIerce have large contracts just wait.....guys will make more than 50% of the cap soon. People need to actually think more about giving out huge contracts. I love the way its set up now. Instead of just maxing everyone you have to give intelligent offers with regard to your future cap space. It also prevents strong teams from being able to just sit on players for years on end. Its perfect for the league being what I want it to be.

You dont think minor adjustments would be fair though? Nothing drastic. I mean sometimes people have no other choice but to max people but i get where your coming from. I just thought maybe you would be open to some minor adjustments but hey you run the show.

I just thought maybe you would be open to some minor adjustments but hey you run the show. I dont see the need for it. I think 85 is not only fair it is realistic. How many NBA teams go over 85 mill in salary? Sim basketball leagues have way too many max deals. I think a a 50 million dollar cap is realistic. And I think a 85 HC is realistic.

But if we want to be realistic then NY should be able to have the the highest salary in the league. We have no limits.
