$5M/year would have been a fair amount... not 16

What does 9/11 and the Market Crash have to do about an NBA salary? The only time the cap changes is when there's a complication with salaries between players and owners, mainly do to a large income coming into the league be it a TV Deal or whatever.

The MVP Candidate.
Do you not understand that the Pistons are making this move in light of the new CBA?
Grasp this.
This is what was negotiated in the most recent CBA lockout in 2011. So barring another lockout and a change to occur in this graph, then a guy like Reggie Jackson in two years (when the salary cap jumps to $100M) could earn up to $20M from another team from a max contract, but because Detroit has his Bird Rights he would earn 7.5% more than that. So that's $21.5M Reggie Jackson could have had in the new CBA.
So if you're squeamish about his contract right now, then I couldn't imagine how you'd feel if you saw what he could have earned.
$21.5M vs. $16M
I'd take giving Reggie Jackson the $80M over 5 years now than giving him $107.5M over five years when the cap increases.

Not sqeamish at all, brah. If you think Reggie will live up to 16mil, more power to ya.

Not entirely pleased, but not entirely surprised either. As someone pointed out, Knight, Dragic, Carroll; just what you got to come up with the keep someone around.
Plus, I don't think they wanted any 1 year tender drama after Monroe.

1. If you don't understand anything about the NBA salary cap then just say it. New basketball fans tend to freakout about big contracts just because of the dollar amount, but don't understand that they are all getting paid a percentage of the salary cap a team has. Welcome to the NBA, where two decades ago Michael Jordan made $3M in a year, where one decade ago Shaquille O'Neal made $20M in a year, and where in two years Lebron James could make $35M in a year.
2. I did.
