Or 90% of all NBA players? .

You're comparing him against guys that are in the last year of their contract of the next to last. Not really comparative.
I'm not saying it's prohibitive. I'm just saying that it is indeed a bad contract. I'm confused why you don't think it's a bad contract, you think he's a good player, and yet you don't think he'll cost a ton. Seems like a weird conclusion.
The conclusion is that he's a pretty good player, with a bad but not horrible contract, and that's why he won't cost a premium (although I still think he might cost more than we're willing to offer).
