I also don't think a player should have to make an all-star team to get a supermax in a scenario where the team only gets charged a "normal" max. After like 8-9 years if the guy is really good he has prob made an all-star team but sometimes there are max-level guys who haven't made an all-star team. In those instances I think being able to offer the "supermax" salary would be an advantage.
The other problem for small-market teams is that even if they could do that they may not be able to afford the salary in real dollars.
