salaries

[bocelts@scsn.net (R. Bentz Kirby)]

One thing that is being overlooked in the salary wars.  Will they
continue to climb? In light of the recent signings some of the Celtic
contracts do not look outrageous.  And there is an ecomnomic reality to
this somewhere.   Does anyone know how much the NBA grosses, what the
overhead is and what is available for distribution.  There will come a
point, or the economy will fall, and salaries will have to stabalize, or
the NBA will bankrupt.  The agents don't care about the league, the fans
or even their own clients; all they care about is their own egos.  Like
baseball where Fehr wanted to run baseball and ran into a dead end, the
same will happen with basketball eventually.  Or some other road will be
taken.  Salaries will not just continue to soar.

It will be interesting to watch the fall out.

Peace,
