The JOKE that is the NBA Salary Cap

So I became enlightened last night on how the NBA Salary Cap works, and let me tell you...it's ridiculous.

So the popular opinion is the LBJ will be in MIAMI after tonight to give them 3 max players and virtually zero free dollars under the cap. So the logical question, how do they find 8-10 other guys to play on this team?

Well, I learned last night that they can spend as much money as necessary to fill out a roster and can pay everyone else the minimum even if it takes them way over the cap.

Stupid.

Why would you even have a cap if it is this easy to get around it? The best plan is to dump your entire roster and start over because once you get your stars and over pay them, then you can go over the cap to fill out the rest of your team with minimum guys that will be jumping for joy to accept that deal and get a chance at a ring.

Well, I for one am hoping this blows up in their face and MIAMI doesn't even sniff the title for the next 6 years. Maybe a major injury to one of these 3, or maybe the lack of any C or PG on the roster will come back to haunt them. Seriously, how can anyone outside of MIAMI cheer for this team to win anything?

Sounds like the CAVS might be trying to replace LBJ with...wait for it...the great Johnny Flynn! Yep, apparently the Woofies have given up on this guy already and are shopping him for some expiring money. KAHN!!! Once again, I swear that this guy has no idea what the hell he's doing. Although, if we were able to turn this into some expiring money and a #1 pick it might make sense...because when LBJ says he's not staying in CLE, that #1 pick will look very nice. The CAVS without LBJ = worse than the Woofies next year...yes, it will get that bad that fast.
