Wake up and smell the coffee!
This tax offer would be great for the tops teams, lets not kid ourselves here. Now detroit could tell the fans they need to CUT payroll to stay under the tax. As fans we understand that, who wants to pay tax? By staying under the tax Detroit would start rolling in the cash. Now if they go over the the first tax bar by a little they could easily say to the fans
"Look what we are doing this year to win" - owners just have to make sure that they don't do it very often or us FANS will expect this every year.
This would help the weaker teams as their would always be some teams over the cap. This would improve the game a lot better than any CAP will ever do.
More and more I read I find that the CAP is not the way to go. A tax with REAL bite to it would make the league a lot better. Richer teams can spend that little more while poorer teams will have some tax money to spend on players too.
