Is there some sort of escrow mechanism which automatically adjusts if the cap is lower in future years?As a general comment I find it interesting that this much coin is being given to some average guys given the general financial uncertainty. Grant getting 20 mill per, Harris 19, Bertans and Morris 16, and a guy not on your list in Clarkson getting 13 mil from the Jazz. Not short deals either - though there will obviously be options in most of them.
Compare this to MLB where decent players with reasonable contracts are being non-tendered and many of the non-stars are likely to settle for one year deals.
I know the NBA season was only minimally affected by COVID in comparison to MLB but I still would have thought the prospect of a season with no fans would have been enough for owners to cry poor especially on the mid-tier guys. Seems that has not happened though.

I thought that was how the revenue sharing model worked. They are still very big numbers for these guys though
Will be good to see lamelo in the nba. Went ok in nbl. Think he will be better than his brother who in my mind was not really as good as all hoped.Interesting rookies I’ll be watching next season

Yes indeedLuke Kennard $ surprised me. Compared to Kuz
Well Kuzma kind of isn’t very good (well not as much as his reputation seems to be). Not saying Kennard is any better and advanced metrics don’t exactly love him but they still see him as better than Kuzma.Luke Kennard $ surprised me. Compared to Kuz

I would say Kennard is worth more because his best skill - shooting - will always be valuable while Kuzma just looks like the prototypical guy who would get good stats on a team that wins 20 games. Though credit to him for playing his role in LA.
Was really surprised that he was the guy it seemed like the Lakers wanted to keep in the Davis deal. Despite all the negative press and not living up to the (possibly unfair) hype I felt that Ball was a defensive beast and Ingram had the potential to be a stud (albeit an unnecessary one next to LeBron and Davis). Of course maybe the Pels thought that too just wanted Ball and Ingram more.
fair points, I think sometimes it seems to come down to they have to sign best available after waiting too long looking around.
