Not this year, but in a year or two when these salaries start getting closer to equal it wont be as bad.

We don't know that salaries will get closer to equal though. We had a 5 year stretch where the cap moved by less than 1 mil

If the cap doesn't keep growing at an outrageous pace then pretty much every team in the league will be capped out and salaries will deflate

but there will be always be a handful of teams going into summers with a lot of cap space. And I think eventually, places that werent FA destinations before will become more attractive because they can offer that extra money the teams tying themselves up now won't have the room too. The money goes to who is available to get it, not who is deserving.

I'm just thinking the teams like Minnesota, Philly, Denver and places like that, who don't usually sign people will have so much available space that theyll be forced to give out similar contracts to mediocre players since that'll be the only way they can get them. Places like that have to over pay for FA's already, but I don't know how they can avoid it now.

Manu is coming back which means Duncan is coming back that explains why the spurs have been so quiet in free agency, 2nd round exit here we come

As a season ticket holder I'm frustrated but not surprised
