I think that we're not adjusting our thinking accordingly. The 'no Guard is worth $10 million talk.' Well in 2012 dollars that equates to $7.5 million.

I understand what you're saying, but for Sanu's production, yes I think he was seriously overpaid. For Zeitler, yes I think he was overpaid as well. Zeitler doesn't deserve to be the highest paid guard in the league.

The cap will rise ever year and players will make more every year. Prices for all positions will go up. I agree with that and understand that. There are still times that players will make more than they should. I would have gladly kept Zeitler at $10m a year.
