I voted no because it was suggested that te waiver wire would be replaced by this. I haven't kept up with it to know if that has changed From what I'm reading, the waiver wire stays. The contract buyout is an option for teams who want to tank, but can't waive a really good player (like a Shawn Marion, or a Jay Williams, or a Michael Redd, or something like that). OK I'll change my vote then. I voted in the very beginning |

I say no. Don't like the idea at all, should have to deal with the contracts that you have given out or have traded for. I would maybe be down for a team to get like an amnesty every 5 years or something but i dont like the idea of being able to just buy out and wipe yourself of players more than once really. Either trade for below market value if you really dont want someone or change your team strategy to suit that given player and make the most of it, its that easy.

The waiver wire would still for the talent allowed to be waived or say a decent talent with maybe a huge contract that nobody would trade for or could. The Contract buyouts would be a penalty in sorts if you want a release a good player to tank or whatever. |

No, managing the cap is a big part of the strategy of building teams.
Don't cheapen it by having buyouts in my opinion.

Doesn't look like this is passing then. League is quite divided on the issue, and imo while it's a reasonable idea, good cap management is part of being a GM as gmgreggor mentioned.
