Not a basket ball fan but seems to me NBA is looking like EPL, 4-5 stacked teams with high priced talent...few solid ones and a bunch of Everton's.

Honestly, I am ok with it. Never liked the salary cap in most pro-sports (MLS is the worst).

I enjoy watching big clubs spend absurd amounts of money on the Falcaos and Di Marias of the world only to fail. In the NBA, the cap is still protecting these teams from doing too much damage to themselves though.

I love situations like the Angels contracts with Pujols and Hamilton.

Obviously, because this isn't a new phenomenon.

Except for United just decided not to pick up Falcao and was able to quickly recoup 75 percent of the transfer fee for Di Maria.

You give Omer Asik a 5-year, $58 million deal, you're pretty much stuck with him.

The NBA is exactly like this because of the Salary cap

The KD thing is weird situation where GS is paying a 2 time MVP nowhere close to his actual value and the cap jumped an absurd amount.

Actually thought, after the announcement, was becoming La Liga.
