You know a really bad team like the Atlanta Hawks who are tremendously under the cap could theoretically sign 4 or 5 of these players to minimum deals and field a very good team on the other guys dime.

Put Finley, Rose, Webber, Ratliff, Christie and LaFrentz on the Hawks and you've got something. Not only would the other owners be footing the bill but I am sure the Hawks could be competitive and actually draw some fans to the arena. Their profit margin would soar while teams like the Mavs and Knicks lose their asses. This crap is so stupid that it is hilarious. A bunch of wealthy idiots getting reamed out of their money and not even realizing they are getting slammed in the wrong place. This league should have went with a hard cap and non-guaranteed contracts like the NFL. All this crap would have been avoided. Got to save those GD owners from their own stupidity.
