So glad Berman isn't doing this anymore, but I also can't stand Mendoza.

This is awesome

Griffin withdrew from the Knicks GM consideration. Guarantee they weren't going to let him bring in his own FO guys. Fucking Knicks man....

  Hilarious. Does he think he's Steph Curry, chucking 3s way behind the 3 pt line?    Also, Lavar's teeth are absolute nightmare fuel. 

  They need to let him bring in his own FO. If they don't I'm not sure Griffin will make much of a difference. 

Nah i dont deserve anything

I am drunk though so I'm just gonna shut up.

.... oh wait, was that not rhetorical? Also yes, team's like Memphis are making more now than ever but that's because of the revenue from tv contracts. From what I understood the cba was made to give players an incentive to stay with their original team, because big markets like NY, Chicago, LA...

In a way, yes. But that would be a player choice, not the team. Maybe in just behind on the times. Maybe there's no easy solution, idk. I just see superstars making $40m a year and shit players like Hardaway making +$15M a year and it just pisses me off.

Has nothing to do with hardaway. This money is absurd, all around. Also has fucking nothing to do with billionaire owners. The cap isn't set by the value of the owners. A big point of the new cba was to give small market teams a chance to keep up with big markets, and keep their players. But...

My thought wasn't even about the children. More that he "deserves" it. A) he deserves this money B) God bless you sir, milk that season for every penny you can. I'd rather go with sentence b, tbh.

My issue was the "he deserves this" comment. Fucking nobody "deserves" to make +$40M per year, in any sport.

I look forward to everyone bitching about his defense in 2 years. I get that it's the max, my main issue is these n7mbers are fucking absurd now. I don't like his contract, I don't like Currys either. I don't like the direction this league is going.

But the cap is based on other factors most notably tv deals. The cap is not going to rise much more. Were most likely close to the peak.

Doesn't mean you have to give it to them while under contract.

No chance it rises much more.

Serious question, what happens if ESPN can't afford that tv deal anymore?

He's an outstanding player but to be the highest paid player in the league is absurd. I'm positive 1 year ago you all ripped his defense. So yea, one year.

Based on What? One year?
