In discussing the NBA's negotiation of a new collective bargaining agreement with the players union, David Stern emphasized the league's interest in giving teams greater flexibility to get out from under contracts that prove to be unwise investments. The commissioner noted a desire to "come up with a system where teams are not doomed by their past mistakes for inordinate lengths of time, so the fans can have hope." Stern cited "shorter contracts or less guaranteed money" as potential solutions. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/08/sports/basketball/08stern.html?_r=1&src=tptw
This is a good idea. Of course some spoiled nba players won't like this. But why should they get all this money, suck, and then cause some player more deserving to be languishing on the bench?
