I know, but that will have about $12-13m pay at the end, too. If you think Marion is much more valuable than Lewis, then you will have to start Lewis at "much" less than $6.5m starting, otherwise he'll get $9m just like you say Marion is worth.

I wouldn't worry about the raises. That can work as a wash to the increase in salary cap.

The salary cap theoretically can rise just as fast. It matches revenue, and revenue is on the rise as China/Euro start getting more players here and more TV contracts. If that happens, the cap inflation is matching the raises, and everything is a wash.

Good point HP, although the rare case of the cap lowering did happen this year if I'm not mistaken.

Just some info about past 17ft as a 3pt is-

48-122 .393 from the 3pt line last year.

I think that is rather good.
