Who is (and isn't) worth a max contract in the NBA? An argument that Chris Bosh is not in the era of a shrinking salary cap.

T.Jose Caldesports: Toronto: The worst sports city in North America?
Hard to argue with the logic based on the performance of the Raptors, Leafs and Blue Jays in recent years.

The term “Max” is very ambiguous. The max for a player coming off his rookie contract (Brandon Roy) is not the same as the max for an experienced player (Kobe Bryant) as the experienced player can take a higher starting % of the salary cap. Bosh on his max contract was earning less than VC on his non-max extension from NJ..
An unintended consequence of the max contract is that many many players ended up earning the max. Luckily now, the decreasing salary cap is actually bringing the max down which will save some GMs from themselves.
