I think once a person discards the notion that the cap hit and the money he is actually receiving need to actually be related to each other in a meaningful way, it gets easier to understand. In MLS, they are even less so. They SHOULD be related. Sometimes are. But for the big fish, they usually are pretty divergent.
That makes sense. Contracts and cap management is something that I have never spent a bunch of time on so when the topic comes up, I find myself trying to tread water. Thanks for the explanations.
