One area that needs addressing in the new CBA is how much salary can increase/decrease from season to season. The current formula allows a drop by half again and again to create throw away seasons at the end of deals. If they went to no more than a 50% drop across the life of a contract and the lowest Weber's deal could go is $7mil per season. It allows some contract flexibility and payment staggering while preventing 14 to 1 drops over the course of a contract.
