This is clearly a clause that helps out these superteams with guys already making like $20 mil a year.....they can renegotiate for a few mil less per year to free up some cap room for one of their buddies to waltz on in. Who ELSE is going to honestly renegotiate their contract for up to 40% less?? I'm confused as to why this was put in other than specifically to help NYC basically...

If Gilbert does do something nuts like that and renegotiate down, that'd be huge. But when could that be done? And would Dwight be patient enough to wait for next summer for us to make moves...?

Might be wrong, but I'm sure I read that this only applied to contracts signed after the implementation of the new CBA. The words "existing contract" are misleading, it's meant to mean that they exist for the purposes of renegotiation, not that they exist right now.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards it. How could they back off that rape of a deal if true.
