Its not soooo bad if you think about it in the context of a combo guard, straddling the PG/SG line. Jr adds little to a pg salary, and passing nothing to a SG salary, so you can have a level of each for 10k combined at the levels you are talking about, which is reasonable.
To be honest, the real issue for me is the salary of OD. Should be as expensive as passing, which would stop people going with super od guards and maybe make outside tactics viable. But thats an issue for another thread...
