Why are they paid the same salary? Is $80k the league average for superstar players? There's really no reason why they must have the same salary.

Why would you offer an extension to a player who is under the reserve clause? The reserve clause guarantees that the player will stay on your team until you trade or release him or until he retires. His contract is automatically extended at the end of every season.

I don't understand this. If you want to emulate the reserve clause, why not just enable the reserve clause rules?
