I really don't follow the NBA too closely anymore. I am not a fan of trading for contracts because someone who doesn't even play is more valuable than someone who does.

I read somewhere that the NBA is pushing to revenue sharing because the smaller market teams can't compete against the large market teams. This is with a cap. I just don't see how a cap solves problems with teams being competitive. Revenue sharing is a whole different animal though.
