The funny part is that it has been going on for a few years now... these people that argue that front loaded contracts are valuable for teams who can pay less but get a higher cap hit so they can reach the cap floor.
I can only think of one team that maybe overpaid in an effort to reach the cap floor, and even that is debatable (Florida). I can't think of one example of a team taking on a bad contract to reach the cap floor... and yet this arguement still crops up. - GoneFullRetard
Probably still too early to draw final conclusions on this argument. I think the cap floor has only recently risen to levels that some teams wouldn't normally spend up to, so not enough of a sample size. I agree that it's stupid to assume a front-loaded contract will have a high trade value as a result...if anything it simply makes it possible to dump a decent player with a huge contract for a marginal return.
Only two scenarios that come to mind are Campbell in Florida who was still viewed as a decent defender...just way overpaid. And CBJ overspending in UFA for James Wisneiwski...simply because they had the coin they needed to spend

Campbell Florida is a posibility but he was still known as a good defender, in his prime, so not *really* the same thing.
