It's really not. And I never took either side of the debate on the theoretical "Gio-cap", so I have no interest in defending it either way.
A "Gio-cap" would basically mean that you could move Giordano and thus get rid of the cap. All Friedman said was that they team didn't want to exceed Giordano's $6.75 million AAV. It's the $6.75 million that is the internal cap and it's just circumstance that it is was Giordano makes. Calling it a "Gio-cap" is dishonest when what it really is is just
the current internal team cap. It says nothing about next year of 5 years from now.
There was a time that some players would have it written into their contracts that they would be the highest paid player on the team and therefore there really were caps based on what one individual player makes. That is not what is happening here.
