I think the owners know the fans want this and will use it to bash the players' union, but, like Irish said, they don't really want to see a slotting system if it raises the guaranteed amounts on players after the 2nd round. It's the perfect ammo in the owners belt, as they can point effectively to any number of 1st round busts and say see, blame the players for hindering it. The players union, on the other hand, is stuck trying to make a slotting system work for all the players and somehow selling the point that the money saved should go back into the players pot only. Doable, but so far I haven't been impressed with the union's arguments and strategies. I think they are simply waiting to get it into court and force the issue that way.
