It means they won't be getting any quality players out of free agency. Instead of getting Richards they will have to settle on Connolly instead.

Exactly! The owners cannot help themselves. Why offer those crazy high contracts if it's not sustainable? And we blame the players? If I can find an employer that'll pay me 40% more for same work, why would I ever accept less?
