kind of crazy that the big deal we gave Demarre Carroll back in the day is basically what an MLE deal is now

I remember back in the early 2010s it was like 6 million for the MLE...salaries have more than doubled in just this past decade or so.

Everything has ballooned.

Elite role players and good starters make 30m+ a year...borderline all-stars make 40m a year...all-stars make 50m a year, superstars make 60m a year.

It just seems strange because 5-6 years ago the max contract was like 35m a year.

lol I doubt we are anyone's first choice, so probably nobody's. Likely waiting to see if there's any scrap heap to even pick up
