Re: Collective Bargaining Agreement???

It seems to me that the salary cap in the NBA is not constructed very properly. How many teams have money to spend this off season on top tier free agents? 7 maybe
This seems a bit inappropriate. For granted, I like the player salary restrictions as deals like the one Garnett signed a few years back are ridiculous, however I for one feel that the cap level and ensuing luxury tax really prevent mid level teams from achieving a higher level unless they luck out in the draft. Boston falls in this category (partly because of personnel decisions i.e Vinny), but also because with our current roster, we will be stuck picking in the late teens, early twenties for a number of years.
I'd love to see a change in the way this agreement works or at least a higher cap level, instead of 42 mil, how bout' 48 mil?? There are only a handful of teams in the league that wouldn't exceed 42 million in player salaries if given the opportunity.
Were not as bad off as MLB in terms of parity (pesky Yankees), but the NBA certainly doesn't approach the parity in the NFL that we've seen over the last few years.

I'm moving this thread to the Salaries and CBA board so you might get a reply as I think you raised some valid questions.
