Do people overpay when you win or do winning teams just have good players?
Its often a mixture of both. But this year it was a case of teams going Larry Brown/Oakland Raider moronic on Ellerbe and Kruger. The chances of those two players living up to those deals is slim to none.
It kind of goes in cycles for whatever reason but most every year you can point to a player or two that got a ridiculous deal because some GM with their head up their *** evidently only watched the playoffs and decided what he saw in those 1 or 2 games completely overshadowed the previous 48 games he had seen from that player.

I think you underrate both of those players. They got overpaid, that's the market, but they aren't Larry Brown either. Lets not put the rest of the league in Al Davis territory.
