But an overpay today isn't an over pay in the new cap. Agents know this and factor it in to new contracts.
The last 5 years the cap has been flat. In the last 8 years the cap has only had 1 big jump.
In other sports the cap has had massive jumps and teams that signed their players before these jumps have had huge success. Golden State Warriors were one team that comes to mind that had all their guys signed to big contracts under the old cap and then cap exploded and they won championship after championship with players grossly under paid.
Barzal's contract will be an overpay for 1 year at least but cap increases do change the value of all existing contracts
