With the cap jumping over the next two seasons, players are expected to receive a windfall in the form of contracts that are astronomical compared to those of the past.

There is an expectation that many average or below average players will be paid the way the NBA's stars have.

"Every player thinks it's just going to be a money train this summer," said Mark Cuban. "There's a lot of money; there's not THAT much money. ... And I think there's going to be teams that save their money for next year, because it's a better free agent class. People just presume now that everybody's going to get paid a lot of money, and it'll be interesting to see if that happens."

The Dallas Mavericks have several free agents this offseason, most notably Dirk Nowitzki and Chandler Parsons.
