Under the current CBA, and the rookie contract scale in place, negotiations should really be a piece of cake. I.e. "You're going to make X amount over the course of your contract. Would you like your signing bonus in $20s, $50s, or $100s?".
There are much more issues in contracts than simply the value. Things like offset language, splits, voiding, and deferrals all play a roll in the contract and how money gets to the player. They are the reasons why rookies still get agents really.
