No worries, he can still demand a trade
Also I don't think Presti is at fault in any way. He traded average players for a legit two way superstar, if the team is badly coached what can he do?
Maybe Melo was a little too much, but I think a lot of people would have pulled the trigger on that...
The fact that Miami is gonna have to fight for a playoff spot all year with that insane payroll is crazy. Just goes to show you how important having at least one good player is.
They deserved it though. Nike fucked it up royally. If I remember correctly Nike showed Steph a recycled presentation and forgot to replace Durant's name in it

That was after being MVP and building on a return campaign. No way he's worth another 70 mil to adidas in his condition
Not that I was being serious, but I doubt they do. Doubt it's anywhere near 70 million. And it's not like he's playing that well or often that him representing Adidas is still worth a damn.
I bet if adidas could void that contract they would, and spend that money on NBA players with a brighter...
