I was just wondering, with the unusually large amount of tags used this year, did the General Managers get together and decide to hold down salaries?
I know you are saying hold down salaries? Yes this is why I say it, a tag give the player a raise to the top 5 or 10 (depending on the tag) of that position from LAST years salaries right? Well it seems like the GM's put the tags on arguably the best player at each position, Spikes, Price, Pace and on an on. What this does I think is this, the bar is set to the best player, no team will pay more for a tagged or lesser player at that position.
So affectively they held salaries for this year at or below last years scale.
