I'm surprised at how many posters are trying to compare one of the first major signings under the new CBA, where you can no longer articially lower the cap hit to the old CBA major signings. Under the old CBA, they would have just tacked on three extra years at a mil or two, and made it a 5-6mil cap hit and a lot of these same posters would be calling it a smart signing and saying how great it is to have a franchise centre locked up to reasonable cap hit.
It's apples and oranges, the days of seeing large contracts with reasonable cap hits are over, and I suspect in a couple of years when more of these new, higher cap hit deals get signed, a lot of these same posters in this thread will realize it's the new reality and this isn't a bad contract.
