gscarpenter2002 said:I think it is clear that minimum salary players do not contribute to the escrow.
As said, I doubt it has an impact because I doubt the escrow would be limited to 15%.
The 15% speculation likely comes from the Owners Feb 2 proposal - the first time the escrow mechanism was fully develloped, at least for public consumption.
And, this (exhausting escrow at 15%) is a very unlikely occurance barring a precipitous drop in revenues. All 30 teams would have to average a $36M in player costs ($33.8M payroll) - very unlikely even in this spending environment. There will be teams near the floor and many others with $25M-$30M payrolls.
And the 600 page CBA behemoth is sure to cover these cases.
