The longer the allowed max contract term is, the more it tests the skill of a GM. If the max term was 1 year, you could never mess up a team and pay everyone exactly what their projected value is. There would be no such thing as “cap jail”. A child could do it.
As the max term increases, players are going to demand it. Whatever the number is. Some GMs will cave and pay dead money. My hypothesis is that an increasing number of them are going to figure this out and refuse to do it as time goes by.
