It's just interesting since they give shoe deals to a lot of players. Theoretically he could pay more than anyone else for a guy by putting it in a shoe contract. But I'm sure they would find a way to make it work.
I'm a very casual basketball fan, but I cannot fucking imagine paying Jaylen Brown that kind of money after what he did the past few games. Some team will do it and will wallow in mediocrity for years. Hopefully Boston.
went to look at cap space for when he becomes a free agent...which is pointless because so much will change...looks like Houston is the only team with a shit ton of money to spend...curious to see A.) If Harden ends up there and B) how much of that cap space he'd take
I think Brown can be the second best player on a title team..but someone on the team has to be better at distributing the ball than what anyone on this Boston team did. Maybe that's on Mazz for having a shit offense or maybe that guy just doesn't exist. There's no "I'm running the game through this guy" in crunch time on the team and so the offense particularly goes to shit in those moments. No one more than Jaylen, who seemed to forget how to dribble late in multiple games.
Was this Simmons/Rusillo pod posted ITT? I thought it was a really good look ahead at the new cba affecting cap/player salaries going forward, and how bad it will be for the middle tier nba role/bench player. also again highlights why GSW’s GM stepped down. tl;dw new cba fucks most players by how it changes the luxury tax/cap rules and seems to punish small market teams like OKC that are drafting and developing multiple potential young stars they won’t be able to afford long term.
Denver drove weed legalization in America and Colorado is reliably blue. Miami is chud central and Florida loves DeSantis Just stating facts
The owners agreed to it because there has never in the history of American sports been a scenario where owners saw the opportunity to cut the amount of money they could give to players and turned down the chance. Market sizes or current situations don't really have anything to do with that.
The rumor is Notre Dame is looking to do this is since the UA deal is up and won’t be re-signed. The talk is an apparel deal with Nike and players will have the ability to get their own shoe deals.
Finals historically on network TV not cable, but regardless he was homeless as a kid so point still stands. also lol @ Rachel Nichols breaking that story
He forgot about the Rock n Jock 25pt basket that will be lowered into the field of play during the last 2 minutes of the game
Feels great to hire a coach who didn't want to be there and wanted to take a year off until you offered him an impossible amount of money he couldn't turn down. No way that could blow up in our faces.
At this point "winning a playoff game in the next 8 years" seems like a worthwhile incentive you'd pay $100M for when you haven't done that since 2008
