Stern pours cold water on 2010 free agents
"Stern already has admitted that the salary cap – which is calculated each year based on the previous season's revenues – is going down slightly in 2009-10 based on this season's revenue. But Stern's worst-case projection of a 10 percent decline next season would cause the 2010-11 cap to be slashed significantly."
"But the fact that less money will be available in '10, coupled with the fact that a new collective bargaining agreement will take effect in '11-'12, makes the decision of whether to sign an extension this summer even more difficult. Those players now have two moving targets to consider: a declining cap under the current system, and an uncertain cap under a new system they know nothing about yet."

Concerning a possible Bosh/Bulls marriage
both parties would be assuming considerable risk in Bosh signing an extension with the Bulls. Considering how cautious the Bulls are, I’m thinking they wait until the trade deadline next February when there’s more visibility as to what the new CBA will be before making trades for 2010 free agents-or making other long term committments for that matter, ie, TT’s extension.

While this presents a dilemma for the players...
…on the teams that were hoping to get them. The players will get their money.
People should remember that while they have the right to their opinion, they are not entitled to be taken seriously. --Bruce Bartlett
