          He's going to get hell from every single player in the league. The salary cap will almost certainly go down next season. Literally every player is going to make less as a result of him. Or is it...

          He's going to get hell from every single player in the league. The salary cap will almost certainly go down next season. Literally every player is going to make less as a result of him.
