Just reading through discussions of what pundits think the deal involves, I'm a little disappointed that the owners gave back a number of concessions that would have done a lot at building a bit of competitive balance. Not really surprising, it just reinforces that this was all about money from the get-go. Seems like it's pretty much what it was before, but with adjusted salaries and a higher luxury tax. Would have liked to see the elimination of sign-and-trades and the MLE shrunk down.
