I'm not opposed to a change in revenue sharing, but if it is increased, I would push for a change in when it is taken. I think revenue sharing should take effect before re-signings as opposed to after.
At 41 or 50%, the cash piles that each team has at the end of the season aren't really reflective of their revenue for the season any longer. If big market teams have to have another 40-50 million in their cash pile that they will lose, this will mean they will have to resign players at higher prices than they should. Consequently, the lower market teams will get bigger bargains. I'm not sure of the exact effect here, but at those levels of cash, I would imagine it would be fairly significant. (If someone has hard numbers here, I appreciate it.)
