i read something earlier today that said the individual team's salary floors don't even go into effect until 2013. the only 'floor' that is in effect this season is a league floor so the individual teams that aren't spending any money right now don't need to start until next season.

I totally agree. The extra money will go into the owners' pocket. Seems to me that organization don't really like to spend and they will not be a consistent winner until he loosens the purse strings.

yep, i'm almost afraid to bring this topic up because it's so troublesome, but the last few years, when there has been an off and on cap/floor structure, we have gotten a real glimpse into what the league would look like if it were structured like MLB. The richer teams were spending plenty of money while the poorer teams cut their payroll almost in half.

And, just like in MLB, the 'richer' teams turned in more consistent wins than the poorer teams over the past few years.
