pointed out above in the link in reply #2, the only teams in the last 40+ years to win a title with their best player under 6'4" are the Bad Boy Pistons and the 2015 Warriors. That's it, that's the list.(c)T. Kornheiser

Dame will turn 29 this summer. He will be 31 when this "supermax" kicks in. Will Dame still be an All-NBA player then? Probably not.

This team is probably peaking right now, I don't see them getting much better or finishing much high over the next few years. Is it wise to invest almost $200mil in a smaller guard on the downside of his career?

Steph's contract is going to hurt on the back end too but at least that franchise will have reaped the benefits of that investment.
