That's what you have to offer to get anybody though, and at worst, you cripple the Pacers when they match it.
Crippling small market teams with bad contracts is part of playing the game.

No one forces the owners to offer a center averaging 13/9 a max contract.
You don't give max contracts to players who have the potential to be franchise players, max contracts should only be for elite players who are "franchise players".

Part of sports strategy is financially crippling the competition so that you can offer more than them down the line.
