Yeah....but half of those that got $10 mil were overpaid a few years back when Teams were overpaying to keep 2nd/3rd Tier FAs at 1st/2nd Tier FA prices.
When we are talking about $10 mil a year players in today's market.....we're talking about players like Granger, Monta, Biedrins, Josh Smith, Bynum type players.....basically 2nd tier Top Players in the league below the likes of the top Stars of the league like CP3s or Deron Williams.
I'm with most of you here on the Knicks board....he's definitely earned it, he's a key player in the Knicks for the foreseeable future....but I don't feel that he's worth $10 mil a year.....maybe $8-9 mil a year for 5 years.
