I think that's the biggest. Puts to rest any idea that teams will just buy a championship if there is no cap.

I tend to disagree there. It may stop those teams but what about the Wild Card round losers as well as those who were close to making the playoffs? Also does it apply to your own UFAs? Could you resign them before the March deadline and still not be in violation? Just a few points that may come up if the CBA is not done.

2006 is the only year the proration will effect teams.... 2007 and beyound with no CBA or cap wont matter....

the ONLY positive at all with no CBA or cap is the teams that are force to "flush the toilet" this year will be done with cap problems for good....
