Doing it for, I mean, the word tanking is a bad word to use.

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

It may be more player development.

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

We just don't have the guys.

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

Yeah, we've got cap space, and yeah, we've got a couple guys that probably should start.

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

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.

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

and move in that direction.

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

But there are a lot of teams that are really bad.

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

And the league is trying to fix that.

The Program

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

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

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

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.

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

In the NBA, that's very difficult to do.

The Program

A lot of players, a lot of teams will pay the extra tax, the second apron, all these different terms that are used.

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

They'll pay excess money over the cap in a tax to bring good players together, some good

The Program
H4 N2K, Kevin Harlan, The Kicker

Owners are willing to do it.

The Program

Others won't.
