I'm not sure #2 would work well. The reason being the economy is so bad and in my view we're about to take another dip far worse than 2008. Revenues will drop in such a case. If revenues are dropping then teams can't plan long term because what happens if they lock their guys up, the economy tanks and suddenly they have more salary than the new hard cap number?
I don't think there should be any guaranteed contracts. It's the Eddy Curry's of the league who are killing teams. I think there should be non-guaranteed contracts in place with signing bonuses, yearly bonuses and performance bonuses. On top of that contracts should be re-negotiable at any time pending the willingness of the player and owner.
Roll backs will be needed to accommodate teams like the Lakers. It's big market teams who will lose a competitive edge with a hard cap in my view by the way.
