Re: Capulations...



I believe the cap is going up from 4 to 6 million, maybe more.  But
that is sobering.  Still, we can backload contracts to kick in after
Pervis and Dana move on, and Radja's money will stop counting against
us eventually too.  Plus, I'm sure we will move Travis as soon as the
ink is dry on the new CBA.  Anyone for swapping him even up for Lisa
Leslie?
