Ain't that a super-max? I thought you had to make 2 all-star games or be 1st team all-NBA to get a deal worth that much?
Or do I got that wrong?
Carmelo just signed for $120 million over 5 years. He's a veteran with 11 years of experience.
The CURRENT MAX FOR KIDS COMING OFF ROOKIE CONTRACTS IS 4 YEARS $64 MILLION WITH THE CURRENT SALARY CAP!
IF YOU GET A FRANCHISE DESIGNATION LIKE JOHN WALL, IT'LL BE 5 YEARS $80+ MILLION.
IF you have the All-Star/MVP/etc criteria, then the 5 year max goes for $90 million+.... Over 4 years its in the $70 million range.
Again, THIS IS THE MAX FOR COMING OFF OF ROOKIE DEALS.
If the Cap goes to $70 million or whatever this offseason, there'll be adjustments but there's NO WAY Beal can sign for $120 million... He can't.
