Under the old CBA it didn't matter if they were prorated because there was no limit each year.

So they were paid out evenly over the entire length of the contract? If a player got a $5 million bonus for a 5 year contract, he didn't receive all of that money at once? If it was paid evenly, was that different than salary other than perhaps tax consequences?
