I believe I wrote it somewhere, but I think that the easier way of defining a tanker will be the following:
Each week that the salaries total had been 10% (for example) below the average salaries (of that team) will be taxed (at the end of the year) by 1$ per 1$ difference (for example).
I totaly agree with you that the tanking issue should be handled much better than it currently does.
many teams tank a full season, also you can reduce your salarys without beeing worse* or get better in course of a season without forfeiting before but this will push the averages of that week below. Most teams who promote the last season, will increase their salarys in the first week in the season, and now they get fined for this week?
Or player who sell their draft and get 1-2 old guys for them, should be fined at the end for it now?
This is a solution which leads to tanking, cause selling the whole roster at the begin of each season would be the the much better way now, instead of getting bwetter to stay in the league.
* for example, i have an elite PF. if i play a classical C instead of him there my salarys will increase around 120k to stay at the same level of the competition. And voila if i make this change, my first week of the season would be tanking^^
