The salary cap is getting considerations that will have negative consequences around the league. A lot of good teams are already scraping the cap ceiling and several of them are belly-flopping into luxury tax hell. Certainly there will be a few teams contemplating major alterations. Some even have new arenas that were funded by taxpayers and they’ll be among the loudest to cry pandemic poverty.
No matter what, the cap is going to go down. The unspecified amount that, according to Kurt Helin, will be anywhere from a around a veteran’s minimum to a solid starter salary level of dollars, is going to force teams to be as proactive as possible.
