Max Contracts will not apply to all the names listed above, but this thread is designed to give GMs a better idea of what is expected during Free Agency.
Also Player Agents will work to make sure that not all contracts are exactly the same as the defined Max Contract, just because it looks unrealistic when we have a league of identical contracts all over the place.

The Magic Johnson rule Actually, almost everyone had a hand in this rule needing to be formed! I received a few deals worth $35 million a season for a 5th year player. |

Is there any flexibility with this scale in relation to the caliber of the player? IMO if we are going strictly based on years of experience any free agent that has been in the league for 5 seasons and is a max contract player would only sign a 1 year contract, get their 6th year of experience and then be eligible to earn around $20 million dollars extra just based on years of experience. An additional $20 million over the course of the contract is a lot of money to just leave out there.
Based on the scale Paul George couldn't make more money than Rudy Gay

It's more of a guideline and to give us a reference point. |

So, we will now have a maximum contract? Am I reading this correctly? |

Pretty sure Brandon Jennings was gonna be the next superstar after his rookie season in some peoples minds.. |

Pretty sure Brandon Jennings was gonna be the next superstar after his rookie season in some peoples minds.. Where would he go in this draft with the skills he has shown? top 10? top 5? What do you think the going price of a top 10 pick would be on the FA market... |

but in the list there are players rated from 75 to 92. Is the max suggested with an average overall in mind or is it for a player like Cousins?

Where would he go in this draft with the skills he has shown? top 10? top 5? What do you think the going price of a top 10 pick would be on the FA market... And also he didn't even start. Be would go around the same spot he did last time. He shot poorly for a "shooter". He's good enough to get 20 minutes a game on a playoff team in the East. So basically he's about as good as Iman Shumpert with less defense. So a guy who signed for 40 million over 4 years. |
