8. What kind of numbers do you think would be reasonable for a maximum wage?

I'm thinking of Jason Kidd.

The New Jersey Nets hadn't made the playoffs in 10 + years. They hadn't had a sell-out in forever.

Then they trade for Kidd, and they go to the finals two years in a row. They sell out their games, and they sell tens of millions of dollars of t-shirts, jackets, shorts, baseball caps, hot dogs and peanuts because Jason Kidd is on the Nets. They make tens of millions of dollars for all the estra playoff games.

Like any professional athlete, his career is probably a short one, and he is always one game away from it being ended, but to your suggestion...

How much should the maximum wage be for Jason Kidd?
