For those not familiar with NBA history, the NBA saw a massive spike in its salary cap going into the 2016 offseason. Players who were free agents that year were able to cash in on large contracts that instantly looked ridiculous. The most famous example of this was Timofey Mozgov, a 6-year bench player for the Cavaliers that never averaged more than 10 pts/game, who signed a 4 year, $64M fully guaranteed contract with the LA Lakers. The contract paid him more per year than Steph Curry or John Wall. Mozgov was eventually waived by the Magic in 2018 after the Lakers salary-dumped him in a 3-team trade.
Which upcoming free agents that showed a flash of upside do you think will be overpaid now that all teams have an extra $11M in salary room more than expected?
