 American “pro” sports need to get rid of the salary caps. It creates this bs game within a game for front office dorks to see who can build a team within their stupid framework.

 The problem ain't salary cap, good accountants is the issue, rules never break but they bend over amazingly

 I want to see the best basketball, the same way we can see the best soccer. If the Knicks want to pay a billion in salary, let them. We need to raise the bar for sports in USA- not keep salaries low to protect poor team owners

 They should at least turn easy to keep your homegrown players

 Agree. My outrage started a couple years ago when Golden State warriors had to blow up the team when it was full of players they developed in house. They had to send James Wisemen and Gary Payton Jr out of town bc of bs luxury tax. We never got to see how good Curry and Co could have been.
