It is simple business, supply and demand. There were only 3 good guards in this years FA and more than 3 teams wanting them, so therefore they get big money. There was only 1 elite corner and many teams looking to sign him so again he got a huge pay day!

If however, as has been suggested every marginal player floods onto the market the pay wont be as big because demand for them would be down. For example if there were 5 pro bowl guards on the market this year Doc wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the contract he did.

Not to mention only so many people could get huge contracts before the cap held the market back.
