Nowadays we have guys like draymond green and tristan thompson etc demanding max contracts. No offence but because there are so little superstars in the league now, these second tier free agents are able to take advantage. I mean when we talk about best sgs in the nba we can only name a handful such as harden thompson wade but the list of superstars at each position back in the 2000s were crazy... Hopefully not but to me lebron and kobe are most likely the last players to ever be considered a top 5 - top 10 player. There are many great players in the league but doubt they would ever make that list (durant is a long shot). I mean, if this trend continues in the future we're gonna see a lot of above average players getting overpaid. I brought this up because people are willing to pay harris and middleton close to max offers but when rudy gay got paid a max contract many people immediately ruled it a ridiculous contract despite any of them being able to be a first or even second option on a championship type team. Reading all these forums and trade proposals i mean there really arent many superstars that we can get to take the raps to the next level which is why it is so hard for gms to build a contending team of course unless u have a lebron or harden or durant. Which basically leaves teams with 2 options get a superstar through free agency or tank and draft one unless you want to end up being a team like Raptors that have above average players that will never have championship aspirations
Anybody else feel like this?

I wonder if Reggie Evans at the age of 24 playing right now would think he's a max player LOL
