The cap jumped nearly 50%. Using salary total isn't a good way to judge things. Yea that's an awful contract, but bad contract have always existed. Would that really look as bad if it were 4 years 36 Million two years ago?
The market is slightly overinflated now because teams still have a number of contracts on their books from the old salary cap giving them more room to sign these contracts. But a like of Horford's caliber would always warrant a max contract regardless of what the cap was set at
It would be incredibly entertaining
Just that today the league is more talented than ever and the just because teams like the Spurs etc. can't really compete on this level doesn't mean they're bad teams
That wasn't the point I was making.
And no, a fantasy draft would be stupid, the League has never had parity, and in a few years the Warriors are going to be forced to break the team up and something like this probably won't happen again
The league has more talent now than ever. Sure there's two teams that are clearly a tier above, but it's also only really been that way for maybe two years now, and that also doesn't mean the other teams suck, just that they aren't up to par
