The way we do compensatory player FA threads would be the same, just that the fallback price would change. The 10% drop in accepted salary per year additional year offered (up to 4 years) would stand.
In Macies' case, yes his fallback price would drop around $1M. But consider Kearsey's price would rise considerably (his calc salary is $8.1M). Under this kind of compensation system I doubt I offer fallback to Gamora or Brand (since both would be much higher than what they currently are).
With any system you'll have some players that have a fallback price that's a no-brainer. I think the intention of compensation is to reward those that lost a truly valuable piece. This would weed out a lot of players who are only compensated because of an extremely low calculated salary.
