Despite the San Antonio Spurs getting off to a strong start this season, a recent loss led to questions about whether it was time to upgrade several key positions. After their second loss to the Phoenix Suns, guard Devin Vassell's play has come under increased scrutiny.
While Vassell has played well this season, his production simply doesn't match his contract. After all, including this season, he is owed $105.6 million by the Spurs. That includes three more seasons in which he will be making roughly $27 million annually.
Obviously, the salary cap continues to rise, and that has inflated contracts.
