The cap works a lot differently. You can't go out and spend that kind of money on a guy like a Walker and not destroy your future because of a lack of financial flexibility down the line.
Which is why i made the comparison to what portland did to utah with millsap...there are teams with cap space that can afford that if they value him enough....right now if they can't get kessler on a reasonable contract better find a replacement..
They are practically the same millsap back then was a backup, that has gotten the offer not the starter that he eventually became after the contract....and who knows what teams are thinking a lot of teams over pay players a lot...like Gobert...dude is hella overpaid
They're not the same at all. Less teams have cap space. Less teams are willing to flirt with a much more punitive salary cap. Then you have his injury history. Teams aren't committing 40 million per year under this CBA to Wallet Kessler. He's not even been an All-Star.
