Why teams overpay so much this offseason

[sefant77]

No team want to lose key players.

They are willing to overpay this years FA because they know (or hope) they can make up some money with the new CBA and the smaller contracts of future players/FAs.

This has to be the thinking behind crap like max JJ and max Gay

These years FA are lucky bastards. Poor guys in the future that have to feed their families with less millions...

mem could have MATCHED ANY OFFER and it would have been less then what they paid

Very simple: Teams are scared seeing too many other teams with too much money
