I edited each team to have the same end-of-season balance (250,000). The list is "Owner Spending" followed by the amount that they kept (and %).

1 - 200,000 (80%)
2 - 150,000 (60%)
3 - 100,000 (40%)
4 - 50,000 (20%)
5 - 0
6 thru 10 same as 5

This time with a 150,000 cash maximum. When you account for the first 100,000 automatically kept due to the cash max, the percentages end up being the same (80/60/40/20).

1 - 220,000
2 - 190,000
3 - 160,000
4 - 130,000
5 - 100,000
6 thru 10 same as 5

Negative 250,000 balance, no cash max, list shows money added by owner.

1 - 25,000
2 - 50,000
3 - 75,000
4 - 100,000
5 - 125,000
6 - 150,000
7 - 175,000
8 - 200,000
9 - 225,000
10 - 250,000

So keep in mind, with these owners not defined in terms of patience and spending these owners should be taking close to 80% of the available cash after season. This can mess up the financials for a league especially when New York, Boston and LA are involved.
