installed especially NUMBER_TOKEN teams have a massive jump up in performance yeah standard the other piece is that with the with the way that the industry was growing especially a couple of years ago still i think uh i think there hasn't been that much salary inflation in the last um last call like two to three years something like that but up until that point in the previous years what was common is somebody would essentially what happened is players got paid a couple years too early at the very least what they should have been getting paid only a couple years later and we've talked about some of the rationale before you can you know maybe link one of the old episodes of no adults where we talked about like how just one person bidding it up moves the entire market because of the open ecosystem but what ended up happening is people started getting paid essentially too much everybody was overpaid at that point in like NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN whatever the salaries really went up just about everybody in the industry was overpaid and then slowly we've now sort of come back to place where i think many teams you know i don't have visibility but everybody gets paid in the industry i have data points here and there i have some general knowledge i think now salaries are sort of at a roughly fair place um and i think code would help with that partially because i think you know it sort of just pushed some people out who are beating things up um and also kind of gave some of the more overeager people some pause about committing to big numbers but to go back to your buyout point you know if i'm negotiating a deal with you and you're telling me i want to get paid whatever the number is you know NUMBER_TOKENk a year um and i'm actually only what i actually want to pay you is NUMBER_TOKENk maybe there's like performance bonuses whatever but it's still NUMBER_TOKENk gap um and the only way to do it is to get to that dollar amount by the way the way it never works is me and duncan negotiating it's there's four other teammates who are also pushing at the same time we're gonna be some levels of unhappy or happy depending on the outcome um and like what the implications of that might be but what ends up happening is i might say listen okay so like i can't tie you to a buyout because you're not actually worth this much uh today so we're betting on you getting better like i don't know how much better um so like i can't tie to a specific buyout number i don't like you know we're essentially betting on industry growth and if that happens then like i can't be if i'm paying you for the industry the market et cetera being bigger than it is today i can't set a buyout based on the market today like those two don't line up the other piece is the uh is the length of the deal so if i'm overpaying you in year one and it's a one-year deal it seems very unlikely that that's going to be a good deal for me on the other hand if we do a three-year deal maybe i'm overpaying you year one maybe year two is fair and maybe in year three i'm actually getting some value that would be the hope and then that way it ends up being a fair deal across the
