I can sympathize with a lot of what you said above, but it's really not that black and white.

I don't think it's a matter of them not willing to pay him what he wants, but mainly how to construct a contract which will fit under the salary cap and still not handcuff the franchise in terms of other players they can bring in.

Also, because of the new CBA and the rookie salary grades involved, low 1st round picks are not that expensive anymore - that's why we're seeing so many trade ups in the draft, since the 1st rounders won't brake the bank anymore.

They'll get it done in time, but not without compromises from both sides.

This is exactly what I am thinking, too. And that the holdup is that when both sides say the same thing, "how to construct a contract which will fit under the salary cap and still not handcuff the franchise" I think that's where Condon and Loomis are saying two different sets of numbers and have two different definitions of what that means.
