No kidding, Joe. The cap is going up? What a scoop.

OF COURSE the cap is going to go up.... probably take an instant leap.... immediately following the CBA.
Is there any FO, owner, League official, or player's agent that isn't counting on it?

That said, it is wise both for teams and players to go ahead and get relatively early extensions with tons of guaranteed money because to wait brings risk. As they say: a bird in the hand.
