nice read throughout, but I found this early bit on the salary cap worth highlighting. so the 2009-10 cap will probably be effected but not drastically because much of the league's revenue stream was in place before the recent "economic tsunami." But the 2010-11 cap could really go down. If the salary cap goes way down so does the line on Luxury Tax meaning more teams will be paying double for every dollar over. Where that 2009-10 cap is set really bears watching. Like KP said in his post trade deadline conference..."If the economics get worse, that might be better for us." STOMP
I wonder if some of the star players will sign shorter term deals these next two summers? Figure there won't be as much money to commit right now, but deals could be better once the economy rebounds.
