Post your CBA compromise
Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 7:07 pm
Here are some issues and the owners/players current positions:
(most of my info from a bucher espn article a couple weeks ago)
BRI split: owners want 46/54, players 53/47
Salary Cap/Luxury Tax:
owners reportedly offered a tax system where you pay double tax if you go over in 3 of 5 years, triple if 5 in 5 years
players want the status quo
Cap Floor (Minimum Team Salary) and Cap Ceiling:
Can't find any hard info yet. Previous cap floor was around 43% I think.
Bird Rights:
owners reportedly want lux tax teams ineligible for bird rights
players: status quo
Mid Level Exception:
owners want a significant reduction in size of MLE and it to be only 2 or 3 years
owners want lux tax teams ineligible for MLE
players: 4 or 5 years at an unchanged split, all teams eligible
Contract Length:
owners want 3 years or 4 w/bird rights
Players want 4 and 5
Annual Raises:
currently 8% or 10.5% using bird rights
can't find any current offers
Rookie Scale:
assume both agree it's okay as it is.
Trades:
owners have proposed a "Carmelo Rule" where a player cannot be traded and extended.
After being traded he cannot sign an extension until the following offseason.
the players probably oppose this.
Other possible issues:
Sign and Trades
Trades when over the luxury tax
125% trade matching
Restricted Free Agency
possible Free Agent Draft Pick compensation
buyouts for international players
