because I would much rather see a team rebuild through FA and trades, than the draft to begin with

and isn't the NBA pretty structured as far as salaries

is there a payroll floor in the NBA

we know there's a cap (which the LAL seem to completely ignore, speaking to your genius FO comment)

I speaking to the small market issue being raised in this post

it's obvious that the system as currently constructed, really isn't helping small market teams as is

with guaranteed contracts, etc...

big name FAs still go to big markets

you can only really point to 2 teams that have had recent success in small markets

so I'd be for making BIG changes, where tanking (and if you want to argue the term, that's fine, we can call it rebuilding through the draft)

isn't as attractive of an option

as being a competitive team

now if that means relegate

or contract

etc...

I'm for it

in the end

I'm just tired of seeing the same handful of teams SUCK ASS every year
