interesting things that stick out to me.

-only one max deal, equal to 30 percent of a teams cap, which means no superstar teams anymore that would sit and wait to try and get 2 max contracts(knicks)

-minimum team salary increases to 85 percent, 90 percent 2 years later, no more 29 mill payroll for the kings, compared to 91 for the lakers. everybody will be within the same general range of 10 percent in 2 years.

-smaller mle for over the luxury cap teams(will hurt big spenders)

-amnesty clause.

-rumors saying minimum draft age will move to 20, meaning 2 years in college now, or 2 outside of high school which a lot of people will like.

Why do NHL fans hate the NBA?

jealousy. remember, up until a year ago, cosby show re runs were beating them in the playoffs.

the nhl is the red headed step child of major league sports. they are there, they whine bitch and moan, but at the end of the day nobody cares except a few.

"A few" being millions of Canadians who couldn't care less if Americans don't appreciate the greatest game on earth more than old sitcoms.

A large % of hockey fans are racist.

Leonsis is the one you can thank for more parity. He wanted to bring over the same model the NHL uses to promote parity. He did not get his "hard cap", but won on a lot of things that will give the smaller market clubs a chance to win.

That is bad for NBA, MLB and NHL. NFL parity works, people still watch. These other sports are driven by NYY, LAL and other popular teams.
Good news for David stern, Miami heat make the finals every year now.

Really, that's funny. And there's nothing to be jealous about. NBA fans are the one's that are jealous. The NHL is a better product at a better price. There's more intensity in an NHL preseason game, then there is in an NBA game. Players that don't give 100% in every game are few in the NHL. In the NBA its the norm.
