This is just a matter of the fact that the NBA has come to the consensus that no one can beat the Warriors! As much we all hate the Warriors, the way the built in their championship legacy has been pretty spectacular management (outside maybe signing Durant).

He would have a max contract right now. But it's the fact that no team wants to gamble on Cousins and give him a full max deals that he wanted to give himself one more year to give him a chance at a max deal. Having the word NBA champion on your resume doesn't hurt either. This is an outlier situation. This rarely happens!

Especially for a number of players who grew up without a lot of financial resources, there may come a point, where the difference between $10M and $20M really doesn't have any practical value to them.

Hard cap no bird rights.
