I think if they can back load the contract they can afford it, for sure. We have a lot of terrible contracts on the books this year, but moving forward it's really just Kennedy and Gordon. Now whether it's a good idea to sign him for 7 years, that's another story.

I'm not sure they even need to back load it that heavily. Their commitments get pretty small past this year. $71 millions for 2019 and just $54 million for 2020 (for 5 players and 4 players, respectively).
