Another cap suggestion

["Jim Meninno" <jim_meninno@hotmail.com>]

OK, here's another radical suggestion.  What if the LBE could only be 
used to match offers from other teams for your free agents.  So, if you 
had a free agent you could either sign him for an amount within the cap 
or he would test the market.  If he did, you could match any offer he 
got.  The player could then choose which offer to take.  This allows 
players to seek their market value and get it without necessarily 
leaving his team.  It also stops teams from being able to sign big 
contracts before the player's free agency year.  It means more players 
would reach free agency, but I think it would produce a more realistic 
picture of what their market value actually is.

OK, now that that's settled, let's play some hoops.
