Doing it for, I mean, the word tanking is a bad word to use.
It may be more player development.
We just don't have the guys.
Yeah, we've got cap space, and yeah, we've got a couple guys that probably should start.
But we've got to look to the future, and the future is with these younger players, and so they're going to play them a lot.
and move in that direction.
But there are a lot of teams that are really bad.
And the league is trying to fix that.
And everybody would love the model of the NFL and the cap and the parity that you see and the ability one season to go from four wins to the next 11 or 12 and win your division.
It doesn't seem to be happening in a lot of other leagues.
Baseball is going to lean into...
I know a cap after this season, as we've all been well made aware of, they're going to try to sell that to the players, which I think they're going to reject, and they'll probably have a work stoppage.
At least that's what people a lot smarter than me think.
So there's no guarantee that a cap, and the NBA is dealing with it, and the NFL has kind of perfected it, that a cap is going to make a good season bad or a bad season good if
But it is going to give more, as you say, parity and the chance that every year you can truly spin your team around from one year to the next.
In the NBA, that's very difficult to do.
A lot of players, a lot of teams will pay the extra tax, the second apron, all these different terms that are used.
They'll pay excess money over the cap in a tax to bring good players together, some good
Owners are willing to do it.
