"Some of the other general managers don't realize they don't get mulligans anymore. Philadelphia and Detroit and Toronto, before if they made a $10 million mistake, they'd go out and get another player. Those days are gone. We're going to see in the long run how it works out."
This is not the first time we have heard an owner speak out like this. To be honest I am quite surprised with the some of the contracts handed out. It seems that the 24% rollback has not been a factor at all in the new CBA. Some players signed for less money and some players got huge raises.
My question is this:
Do you think that there will be a salary drag over the next few years? Will the new CBA work this out over the long run as Karmanos suggetss?
