Why they screw around and let players actually hit the point of FA.
Sign them with a year left. Sure, that first year may seem like they are near the top of their position $$$ wise, but then a funny thing happens. The cap goes up, and guys get bigger and bigger contracts, meanwhile you have a guy locked up for 4 or 5 years who is a top guy at his position that is being paid near the middle of the pack.
Other teams seem to understand this concept, but Mikey...nope he can't commit to anything besides a mediocre head coach.
Player's agents are also using this concept by rejecting extensions, somewhat neutralizing the owners. If you're good enough to attract more than one team, the money always increases.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
