Why are people still shocked by the money? This free agency is out of wack because of the cap jump. You can't think in terms of the old cap money now.

when a team doesn't have draft picks for the foreseeable future and there is no real future types on the team, you might need to overpay for potential. You aren't going to get any max guys to even begin to talk contracts when your team has been left in shambles for trades of after their prime players. Tyler Johnson, Jeremy Lin and Allen Crabbe are a hell of a lot better than what they were rolling out last year. Brooklyn is finally in good hands with Kenny Atkinson and Sean Marks.
