Two years ago, John Wall's max contract extension for five years and $80 million went under heavy scrutiny. Now, getting the two-time All-Star who has led the Wizards to the Eastern Conference semifinals twice since then, looks like a bargain. "People talk about me getting $80 million, now you got people getting $85 million that haven't made the All-Star (Game) or anything like that," Wall said Tuesday while watching his summer league team compete vs. the Dallas Mavericks at Thomas & Mack Center. "I guess they came in at the right time. That new CBA kicked in and they're good now. Reggie Jackson gets five years, $80 million. I'm getting the same as Reggie Jackson." Credit the collective bargaining agreement and the salary cap jumping to $70 million when it was reset a few days ago after the league's audit of finances from the 2014-15 season. The market, and basic supply and demand, and the NBA having a champion (Golden State Warriors) who won using small-ball lineups have made guards even more valuable. The Detroit Pistons rewarded Jackson accordingly. - See more at: http://www.csnwashington.com/basket...talk/john-wall-im-getting-same-reggie-jackson
