I have it (after many trials and errors): the solution to parity is here!

    What I am saying is the objective of your system is to improve parity in the league. Parity means each team has more or less the same power level. Your system would result in even more more DISPARITY between teams who are well managed vs teams who are poorly managed, so your idea does not accomplish your objective at all. It will also cause smaller teams who mess up to fold, because nobody wants to watch a team headlined by the next Olawakandi for the next 10 years. OTH big name teams like the Knicks who mess up can just cover everything with money, Knicks can spend 180M on a roster every year, can Sacramento, Grizzlies or Philly do that? There's a reason why the salary cap is in place.

    My system's goal is not to make badly run teams less badly run. And the current system doesn't do that either. Also, parity means that teams are more or less competitive with one another, not have the same power.

    Also, if the knicks spend 180 million a year on 10 year deals, that equals 1.8 billion. If they "cover" their mistake and repeat that process, the year after, now they would have 3.6 billion.
    In 2014 the knicks were worth 3 billion all total. So what you are saying is that in 3 years they would double how much they are worth?

    Also, I don't mind if smaller teams fold, contraction would make the league better: more parity, better distribution of talent. So I welcome that. There is no reason why teams like Brooklyn, the magic or the twolves should exist.

    Most years, in my system, you might not even get a 30 million a year player. I'd say 10 million a year would be the limit, and maybe a 6 year deal. Those huge contracts would be quite rare. Because nobody will invest 300 million on a player like Lavar Ball.

    I'd say if my system was in place this year, the most any player might get would be 15 million a year for 7 years.

    If you add a "t" then it becomes Pear Titty. And if you think about it, while droopy, pears do look like t*tties.
