Trading Cap Room for Cap Hell?

Four years, $58 million for Roy Hibbert? The same for Eric Gordon, even though he's missed over a third his games since being in the NBA? Three years, $25 million for Omer Asik? Four years, $30 million for Jeremy Lin, based almost solely on a stellar month of February? Minnesota potentially offering over $11 million per year for Nic Batum? Four years, $40 million for Jeff Green?!?!!?? There's been a lot of tomfoolery occurring in the first week of free agency. For those that complained that the Wizards trade for Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza used up all of our cap space, that it squandered our cap space and put us in a cap hell, how do you feel about THESE contracts?
