Yes, but the new CBA really is set up against teams that overpay. I think that going forward teams will try to have one player on the max, and other vets will either take team-friendly deals or risk being traded even if deserving of a bigger bag. Take a look at my Celtics: for all the talk about Jaylen Brown, it is clear that they got rid of him because of his huge contract.

No way they are benching their man on max contract. It would kill whatever is left of his trade value.

Two year contract. He is really going for the quarter-century career.
