I assume you're referring specifically to the Pels and not in general. That may be true short term for the Pels, but getting 3 or 4 years of production above contract value is worthwhile endeavor. It's not a necessity, but it is something I would be interested in this year and beyond as a team runner.

When a rookie scale contract benefits the team under the current CBA, the differential benefit were the cap higher is only a very slight improvement in comparison to the direct benefit due to the indentured servitude itself.

Generally, not just for the Pels, and this is less true for the few top picks that command high salary.
