Because this league is meant to represent a salary cap world. You either make the cap mean something (like in the NHL) or might just as well not have one at all and have a soccer-like economy instead. A salary cap will always punish success to a certain extent, that's the whole reason it exists. Right now it isn't doing that.

I don't want to punish NEW one bit btw, hell it kinda feels like I'm the only guy not on their team who was happy that they have been able to win it all these past few seasons  :lol: . But they are the prime example for what's wrong with the cap and why it's not working as intended as they largely built their roster on hometown-discounts and non-adjusted long term contracts.

But what's wrong with what NEW has done? I'm their biggest hater, but I'd think GMs should be aspiring to emulate their model- getting players to buy into their system and take discounts to build a dynasty.
