Don’t know how you get to that conclusion, but at the time of Powell’s last extension I thought and said it was an overpay and that Maxi and Powell’s contracts should be at Maxi’s level of pay (this was before he got injured). People replied about why I was quibbling over a few million dollars then too.
Well the contracts are just about identical (actually Maxi is less because its years later and the cap is higher). My point was that while I thought the Powell extension was an overpay, I value Maxi quite a bit more than Powell, so I don't consider this an overpay (I doubt the market does either).
They are also different situations. The Powell extension was done at a time when we were on Luka rookie contract and potential to operate under the cap. Every last dollar was crucial from a cap perspective. That is no longer the case. I'm not saying I want to overpay every contract, but a few mil here or there means less now than it did a couple of years ago.
