 More money, same cap.
 
 How many times do I have to say this isn't about the discount rate or the time value of money.  It is about the fact that an 8 year deal gets calculated at notional value and and 8 year + 1 day gets discounted.  Apples and oranges, and it affects the cap.

Which contract does the player sign and why?
