Not really for football, but yes for baseball. The problem I have with the NBA is that they have a cap, but teams can still be SO far above it. The NFL has a hard cap, franchise tags, contracts aren't guarunteed. Baseball is so far beyond gone with salaries that it is pathetic. The NBA has a chance to fix it. I like the NBA as a talented league. I had Cavs season tickets and this season I have them for the Bobcats. I hope they take their time to fix the problem and not rush to some bs solution that keeps the league the same. Teams move cities way too much in the NBA. It points to real problem in the way the business is run.

That salary cap became a complete joke. It's no fun watching 4-5 teams make a run at the title. Then every few years, some BS team like the Warriors makes it to the 2nd round and we are supposed to feel good for them? The league needed this. Too many teams, big and small market(Knicks, 76ers) became irrelevent.

I do believe the NBA needs a lock-out and the league is going to crap...but that doesn't mean I wanna miss 41 'graphing opportunities in Cleveland this season.

Save for the fact that there is no salary cap and there is revenue sharing, and team like Colorado, Texas, San Francisco, Philly and Tampa Bay have reached and/or won the Series the last four years..........I guess you are right.

When was the last time the Pittsburgh Pirates made the WS and how does their salary compare to the New York Yankees?
You might want to look up all the salaries on all the MLB teams...
What i was trying to say is that you was complaining about the NBA, but the same exact thing is happening in MLB...Last edited by Hilfiger1975; 09-25-2011 at 10:10 PM.

1979, and they have been a poorly run franchise since the Pittsburgh Drug Trials, as the success they had in the early 90s was based on a good farm system when that happened. Of the teams I quoted, Tampa Bay, Philly, San Fran and Colorado were no where near the Top 5 in salaries when they made those runs. The Phils only got into that stratosphere after they had success, and Texas did it the year they went when they made mid season acquisitions. You are comparing apples to oranges, not every team is the Yankees/\.

could care less about the NBA to be honest- it has made college basketball (which I love) into a joke by instituting their stupid 1 and done rule. If the NBA never starts up again, I wont lose any sleep over it
