Injuries should be covered by insurance, and wouldn't count against the cap, like right now, but it's also stupid to bury healthy players on career injuries just to get them off the cap. However players getting fair market value earlier in their career would also make up for it quite a bit and would be a big incentive for the PA.
Players want it both ways with no risk, and they have no risk for long term deals
Thats my point about flexibility , if you stink with 4 years left a team should have a provision to opt out
Thats what they should of got in this CBA , may a one time out every 2 years .
A one year contract is ideal , you know what your worth but the union will never go for it
