"Crisis" would be an alarmist prediction, surely. But nonetheless, from Sam Amick:

Good news: The 2009-10 and beyond cap picture will not see additional bloating this summer, potentially opening the drawer for a free agent run next summer, should something with the expensive frontcourt happen.

Bad news: If Garcia plays well this season, as we expect him to, he'll be more expensive in the long run.

Signing Kevin Martin to an early extension was a prescient move — the Kings cinched Martin for much cheaper last summer than he would have been this summer. Garcia's in a different boat: we won't be talking about $50 million, we'll be weighing $25-35 million. It's a smaller risk because the stakes are smaller.

But it's still a risk. Luckily, the league is full of range-y middle class swingmen, and even a great season won't break the bank, lest half the league gets early cap room.
