Imho they are almost @ the same level.
p.s. there isn't so much different between $89.2 million and $94.8....

The point is that Durant originally had $74.3, only because he signed his contract a few months earlier. Would you agree that 20 million is a difference? It had to be a slap in the face for him. They decided to apply the new rules to his already signed contract, even though they really didn't have to.

Durant doesn't have the same explosiveness or passing but i'd take him over Rose any day, his scoring is already is unstoppable and he's still wiry as fuck, he's only gonna get better.

i dont get it...wasnt the old CBA better for players? how can Durant have signed a 12 mill per year deal with the old CBA when players like Kobe, LeBron, Wade, etc. were making 20 mill+ per year under the same CBA? weird.

The old CBA was better for whack MLE-type of players. The new one is better for absolute superstars. Kobe is only making so much money cause he stood with the Lakers his whole career, and signed a plain max contract throughout his 18th season. LeBron and Wade actually never made 20 mil per season in their lives, and are now totally underpaid at 16 mil.
With your first real contract under the new CBA you can start at 30% of the cap when you are a multiple All-Star or MVP. It used to be 25%. Also, your money can go up 2.5 mil per year, it used to be way less. That is way Dwight and Deron will opt out by any means.
Overall the new CBA is much better for players than advertised. I never understood why the media would flip it like the cotton-picking players had been raped by a bunch of masas.
