but the max contract (and max years) was a way to protect the owners from themselves
they don't want to go back to that. jordan was making $33M in 98
Yeah getting rid of the max creates its own set of problems.
Namely the overpayment problem. Sure Lebron may get 50 million a year but your second tier players will get vastly overpaid because the perception in this league is rightfully predicated on having all star/superstar talent to even be relevant.
So if you have a borderline one you better pay up or the dumb organization down the street is going to offer 40 million for that guy. A handful of guys will get PAID and then a ton of players will get shafted. Given that the Players Union is not just looking out for superstars, I don't see them being all too happy with that.
