It used to be 10 mill a year was given out like nothing and any promising starter thought he could get it. The teams are losing money and the economy is no joke. With so many bad contracts already in the league, teams are gonna be more cautios then ever. Not only do these teams not want to pay luxury tax, but they see how hard it is to make trades and improve the team when you got guys making big money who are’nt living up to their contracts.
If Boozer and Okur honestly thought teams were gonna throw 12-15 mill per at them, they were mistaken. As the market continues to drop and teams realize that they don’t need to overpay in order to get good talent, the Ben Gordon’s of the world are gonna regret turning down all that money. It’s not that these players are’nt good, but how many teams have the money?
