This is under the assumption that Cuban has some type of insight which everyone else doesn't. Already, we've seen that most the teams simply don't care that the rules have changed. Who's to say that the teams with money don't just pay up? If we trade, we assume the same bad contract you're the other teams made. The only way Cuban's rules make sense is to get them as free agents as the sign and trade block would be in effect for teams over the cap. Which means we have to be an attractive location for free agents...which we've seen has not been the case. Would you prefer to get a player who wants to come in or a player who comes because there is no other choice? In fact (and I hate to play this card), but how many players are going to put their faith long term into a front office which broke up a championship team and tanked the following 2 seasons? We need to do something now to show potential free agents that the front office refuse to loose...
