What looks likely for changes in the upcoming CBA?

As a post-padder, I guess teams would (rookie deals aside) give up team options if player options went with them.

Maybe teams could choose between using the MLE and having a sort of trade exception for somebody who is unwanted and already on an MLE or smaller deal.

Maybe something along the lines of Rubio and Splitter not making their teams wait years until they need to get paid significantly more than their rookie deals would have dictated yet not in a way that completely takes away the player's right to swindle in a smaller way.

If you check back at an earlier post last fall, we all decided to wait until after the 2010-11 regular season is over to discuss this topic, since any discussion about it a year in advance of the real negotiations is basically meaningless.
