SI’s Ian Thomsen wrote about the likelihood of the NBA adopting a stricter salary cap in 2011 bringing up the question if the NBA would benefit from restricting the amount team’s cans spend on their roster. We’ve seen super-teams form in recent years with the triad of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce coming together in Boston and the LA Lakers bringing in Paul Gasol and Ron Artest to compliment Kobe Bryant. Having a NBA salary cap system that allows teams to basically buy championships doesn’t really help the NBA night-in and night-out when you have 30 teams in the league each playing 82 games in the regular season. The 2010 off season will likely shake things up in the NBA with the list of free agent stars up for the highest bidder. However, with the future of the salary cap unknown teams might be doing themselves a disservice devoting so much of the allocated money they can spend on roster to one player. Don’t expect the NBA to go out its way to breaking up the superteams, but it seems pretty likely that change in some sort is on its way after next season.
