We Had the worst Cap situation in the League.

I understand that we don't have any money to do it this Year and Jordon was just a Example player. What im saying why do we and every other team wait till player X is going to get franchised before they give them a new deal when everyone knows they aren't going to let player x hit the open market.seems like teams would be able to get players to sign for less than the franchise rate if the would try to get a deal done before the last minute

With the new CBA they have to wait until after the 3rd year of a rookie contract, I believe...

The salary cap is going up each year so its no use in trying to lock in deals now for guys like Jordan. Loomis knows exactly what he is doing and is crunching the numbers for the future salary cap. Like people have stated before, let the guys that do this for a living do their job and enjoy this wonderful ride we are on. Im not worrying one bit. Loomis and Co. have proven year after year after year that this thing is fully under control. A true poker player never shows all of his cards. It's best that even us as fan's are left in the dark about certain topics.
