Never understood why, if you really wanted a player, you wouldn't pay a ridiculous yearly amount for a shorter time. Like, here's 5 years $150 million Albert.
Outside of luxury tax reasons, its almost always the players and/or agents who push for those long contracts. They'd rather have the extra years than extra cash upfront.
