constant harping about the cap? You realize the salary cap goes up every year, and is poised to jump significantly. As an actual GM recently said, the salary cap is just accounting. Teams can easily keep the players they deem worthy of keeping.
stick to your recaps, or at least provide something to back up these assumptions of yours posing as fact.
