when it's teams overpaying for certain players to begin with that the market is then based on? What is happening is a lot of average players are getting huge raises for their second or third contracts just because some few top tier players are paid considerably more.
So I ask, why do teams feel the need to overpay for average players instead of paying what they're worth? And why is it such a bad thing to let that average player go or possibly get draft picks in a trade and you can then find a much cheaper option in the draft? Sure the draft isn't guaranteed, but when we're talking about average players I'll take that chance every time. It's not like the average players about to be overpaid are the best players on the team.
