--- But an owner who pays Garnett 126 mil may be making a very wise decision,
given his bankroll, while another owner, to compete, might go bankrupt.  So
who's stupid?  The logical end to all this is the Florida Marlins:  buy a team
for a year, win the title, then disband it.  Offer everyone $20 mil for one
year.  No cap.  No conditions.  
  On another note, can someone offer a coherent explanation of this escrow
system being discussed?  Thanks.
