Tuesday evening. Could it be that the season will be saved?
The reports from the national guys tonight are saying that the latest offer from the league to the player, presented this afternoon, shows significant movement compared to where the league has been. The Competitive Balance Tax threshold would start at $230M, moving up to $242M by the end of the deal. Minimum salary would begin at $700,000 and move up to $770,000 by the end of the deal. The pre-arbitration bonus pool would be $40M.
There are some other details being discussed, such as the league wanting to get an international draft in exchange for eliminating the qualifying offer.
