wpr;465728The problem witht he cap % is under normal circumstances the cap goes up "slowly" for a few years then a new TV contract hits and the cap jumps for a year or two then resumes it more normal uptick.

Players on the other hand breakout and want the money right now. They don't want to wait for the new deal to come down the road.

The well run organizations are going to be at 80-90% of the cap most of the time and are not going to be eager to fill in the cap with player demands.

That's not a problem, players will just be demanding higher percentage. Instead of 3% from their cheap rookie contract, they now want 15%...

That already happens, we just don't put percentages in it.
