The original premis of this thread is way off base. You are looking at 2004 status of the 2006 cap. It is obvious from the past few seasons, that one thing this team's management DOES understand is the financial side of the game. Their long range plan is to restructure contracts when it becomes necessary, utilizing the bonuses that get spread over the life of the contract. You just keep restructuring. And yes, there may be a blockbuster trade every year or two. Expect that to happen. The system is working well, and will continue to!!
Oh yeah, and don't forget, there will be large growth in the allowable cap amounts over the next few years...
