Don't think it truly matters; this franchise cannot afford to have a re-re-rebuild. At this point they just need to make the playoffs and keep their core happy enough to get there.

If you have to give him 8 years 10mil per then do it; its a bad contract for sure but keeps the food on the table, so to speak.

I understand the sentiment, and I also understand why nobody would want another rebuild, but you can't get anywhere building something unsustainable either can you? If you end up with a bunch of big contracts and you are still not winning what do you do? The only logical thing is get rid of those contracts and try again. 

They've done it so many times and for so long that the idea does not inspire the type of hope it does in other rebuild franchises but what else can you do? If your "core" can't get you into the playoffs your "core" isn't what you need.

Do people understand that with the cap going through the ***** roof a $10 million per deal will be like a $6 million (or less) deal is today within a few seasons?
