I think this will start to be the new norm as the years go by. Teams are seeing the importance of identifying and then locking up good players at a young age.
You're seeing almost any star identified as such and signed for 6-8 years in the 21-23 year old range. Of course if the next CBA sees the 5 year contract limit then that'll change.
As a fan of the game I'd actually like to see that. It would create way more turnover and more exciting trading and free agency.
