People wanted players rescued from being fired and so they got. So dont blame the BB's for listening to the masses =)
I disagree that the market is at its lowest. I think prices will continue to drop, but maybe not by much. In fact, I see TL prices and salaries going down for another one or two seasons, and then leveling out there. I don't see TL prices ever going up again. Too many quality players these days. Unless the developers adopt another revenue stream (allowing arena construction to develop again? introducing pay-per-view? tripling merchandise revenue?) I don't see TL prices ever rising much from where they are now.
