You do know that it was Reinny that was the biggest proponent and ramrod for installing the salary cap in basketball, don't you? Fact is that he won't spend any additional money if it exceeds his hard ass cap even to win a championship
Apparently TIME magazine agrees with me that Reinny is CHEAP:
per Wikipedia:
As a basketball owner, he has been described by Time as a "cheapskate",[32] a reference they also use for his baseball persona.[33] As of 1995, the time when Scottie Pippen was eager to either be traded or be rid of Krause, he had never renegotiated a contract.[31] As a baseball owner, he has had a reputation as one of the most militant, anti-union, hard-line owners.[11][34][35] Newsweek described him as "one of the hardest heads in the 1994 baseball strike".[31] In the baseball offseason between the 1992 and 1993 seasons, he completely abstained from the free agent market.[36] Reinsdorf was one of the last holdouts to the 1996 labor agreement that instituted the salary cap while retaining arbitration rights for the players.[37][38] His 1996 signing of Albert Belle made news because of his widely publicized general opposition to spiraling player salaries.[11] The $55 million signing was a turning point in the decision by the baseball owners to agree to revenue sharing.[39] The signing also made Reinsdorf the employer of the highest paid Major League Baseball player and highest paid professional basketball player (Jordan) at the same time.[11] Reinsdorf had just re-signed Jordan after the 1995–96 NBA season.[40] However, Jordan had been underpaid most of his career,[41] and Reinsdorf, who did not feel he could justify the $30 million salary from a business standpoint,[42] immediately realized he was going to soon feel buyer's remorse.[43] Even his most successful baseball team was not highly paid: when the White Sox won the 2005 World Series, Reinsdorf had the 13th highest payroll of the 30 Major League Baseball teams.[33]
