I agree 100%

It's my belief, and this is pure speculation on my part. That if the League would offer a true and real solution to the core economic issues, and bite off their share of the pie as far as the richer teams helping out the struggling teams. I feel as though the PA would accept some type of salary cut to existing salaries as part of a compromise to the help the health of the League. Although not nearly as much as the League is asking for. But as it stands now where the League wants to players to pay the entire bill. I don't see the PA moving off of their current proposal. Both sides need to compromise further. But in my opinion, only the players to this point have offered any compromise.

All of that is accurate - and yet, it still doesn't fix the core problem with this CBA. You have to understand why low-revenue teams are struggling in the first place. [Hint: it starts with how the cap is calculated in the first place.]

I'm really not interested in playing childish games such as giving hints. If you have a point to make, make it. I think anyone who is familiar with the CBA is familiar with how the Cap is calculated. It's a simple mathematical formula based on the players percentage and League revenues minus benefits to find the midpoint. Then the upper is so many million above that, and the lower a certain amount below it.
