Besides, we're not kicking any cans. We're maximizing the cap by accounting for it in later periods when it counts as a far smaller percentage. Smart accounting. In other words, consistent competitive teams for a value enhanced price.

Word it however you prefer, we're employing tactics that impact the roster negatively.

And at the expense of youth and depth - two of arguably the most significance.

And the trade off is flexibility to keep the team competitive. Name another franchise that has not won less than seven games in the last 18 years, or basically since we started using the methodology.

I've never said there weren't drawbacks. The fact is that things are not changing so some of us just have to make the best of it. It is what it is.
