Should they just extend rookie contracts an extra year and allow complete free agency after?
It kind of sucks because it's a compromise. I don't think you'd get the owners to ever agree to go from 7-9 years of controlling an asset down to 6. There has actually been quite a bit of restraint with RFAs since the new CBA. It was a big change to have Ty Lawson, Steph Curry, and Jrue Holiday all agree to reasonable extensions rather than go the normal route of hoping there's one a-hole out there to give you more. I think part of the problem with Gordon was his reputation always exceeded his ability. Despite his versatile skill set he's still a role player and role players shouldn't get max salaries.

The thing about it is that any team can force the "home team's" hand. So the rockets could have offered max and said "you either pay him that or play against him 5 times a year." I feel like teams who offer a ridiculous amount of money should have to give up some collateral. I wonder how that would work.
