I detest it, albeit not due to its inherent purpose. The salary cap was obviously erected with the intent to promote parity throughout the league and effectively level the financial playing field for non-traditional markets. And, in most respects, it has succeeded.
No, my derision lies primarily in the cap’s ability to be used as a conversation starter, where it gets moulded into an assembly line of easily churned out #Content.
Much like the piece you’re reading right now, in fact.
To illustrate this point, I’m going to talk about basketball, so bear with me here.
