Some minds are about to get blown:



Yep. The cap increasing so much in one year is going to make these contracts wacky. It will level off in 3 years, but right now there are too many teams with money competing against each other for limited resources.

Taking percentages of the cap isn't even going to give you the best estimate. A guy that would have made 15% last year will get 18-20% this year due to the increased competition.

Someone mentioned reporting contracts as a % of the cap the other day to help people grasp the sheer dollar figure changes for these players.

I definitely agree with that. For example, Ryan Anderson was under contract for $8.5 last year (12% of 15-16 cap) and while he may want twice as much in dollar figures at $17, that would be 24% under last year's cap while this year its only 18% which under last year's cap translates to a $12.7. Much easier to process.

I hope people could follow that logic...
