That's because they were the only team not to get greedy about it. There was only one year of backdive, the cap hit was still pretty close to market value, and the whole shebang was over and done before the new CBA introduced recapture penalties. If Sutter had tried to finagle even one more year at the end, we'd have been hit with the whammy.
