Teams like the Lakers and Mavs are being forced into unpopular player and salary shavings to reform to the new cba rules. The cba was a laser beam pointed straight at teams like Lakers and Mavs who were willing to go over the cap. Loser teams banded together in a majority rules situation. Teams have this year and the next to you cutback on contracts then it goes x4 when your over. For example lamar odoms 9 mill turns into 36 mill if that's the contract that puts you over. The genius of the Lakers chris Paul trade was it shaved 40 million I in contracts and all the while made us better. Again loser teams banded together and made stern veto it. Amoral of the story is you can never keep the Lakers down.
Don't you hate fair play and competitive balance! Bummer!
