It has more to do with the turmoil in the front office and fear of our shitty medical team than the players.
I agree with most of the posters here. If we had the season we had two years ago this year things would be different.

Yep, when you sit back and think about it it makes sense.
Our reputation is at a low point, we can't really offer a max to anyone, we aren't a very desirable market compared to others and due to the uniqueness of the cap situation, there is a ton of other teams that check those boxes much better then we do. So we are low on the totem poll of desirability from those major FA's.
Win 45 games next season, hopefully get a few of our players to have a bounce back season and we will be much better positioned next FA period. Plus have much more money and be competing with less cap flush teams as so many are gobbling up that space this free agency and the cap will only rise 10 million next season.

No it wouldn't. The Parson's deal is insane. Jerryd Bayless at $9 million a year is stupid even with the new cap. Nicolas Batum at 24 per year is stupid. Evan Turner....over $17 million per year? Seriously?
Let these teams take up their cap now since everyone has plenty of it. It'll help us more in the long term when there are far fewer bidders out there with as much cap space.
