When a player gets to 33 I think you can start looking at two year deals.
Obviously it can't be that rigid, but if in place I think you'd see the positive impact after ten years of making those hard decisions.

Agreed. You'd probably need to set some parameters of when you'd go outside of this, i.e the team is in a championship window and can reduce a cap hit to entice a coveted veteran with term.
Until you're ready to compete, and not just compete for playoffs but truly have a championship window open, there's no need to go outside of this structure.
