Your argument is ignoring the reality that they have to spend 49 million a year minimum. The cap is estimated at 58 million and teams are now required to spend 85%. How do you suppose they get to $49 million this year or next especially after you erase Paul's 17 million?

They can certainly do better than paying Martin and Scola, that is for sure. Guys like Martin and Scola aren't selling tickets, and they aren't winning games. What exactly is the upside? If you are going to lose, lose it paying the minimum with short term contracts. They can always just pay a tax if they don't reach the minimum, right?
