I'm not surprised given that the Celtics don't own their own building (thus get lesser secondary revenues) and that our current core is going to be blown up soon due to age.
We can rebuild under either system just as well in all likely hood and market wise we're not in one of the teams that is making huge profits.
Yeah, I get the impression Wyc has been a guy willing to put in the extra investment to make the team a contender, but I don't think the C's have been making much money on it...in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they have been losing money over the last few years.
While Wyc is a fan, and he is committed to putting a quality product on the floor, he knows as well as anyone that, from a financial standpoint, the current system is not viable for the majority of the teams (including the C's) in the longrun. If they are not one of a handful (if even that many), they generally have to make the choice between trying to compete for a championship, or trying not to lose money. So, as a business-man who is also a fan, it makes a lot of sense that he would be strongly in favor of a hard cap that would allow teams like his to compete every year on an even playing field, while not having to worry about being in the red.
