You may be on to something with your idea. Team GM’s and the current crop of UFA’s and RFA’s will feel shafted if the cap stays flat or drops. Although I don’t know if the current CBA allows for setting what the cap will be years in advance as it’s supposed to be tied directly to revenues. Regardless of the outcome, there will need to be a couple creative solutions thrown in to make things work. I like the idea of one CBO, but a lot to the owners probably don’t. The designation of one ‘franchise player’ per team whose salary wouldn’t count against the cap is another creative option, but would favour the richest owners as they could pay superstars whatever they want.
