🏀 NBA [OFFICIAL] NBA Thread

[Sprayin]

Zach Lavine played 30 games last season and there is no indication that he will ever be a good player or fully recover from his ACL, but he is still going to get $20 mil/year. You trying to tell me Lavine is worth 4x as much as Cousins?

 

[10sec]

No, Lavine isn't signing to win a championship, he's signing to have money.

 

[Sprayin]

Would you take 1/5 of your salary so that your company would be more successful?

 

[Sprayin]

The best thing that could happen to the NBA would be to bounce GSW out with no title.

 

[Sprayin]

Cousins is trying to get people to believe that he got zero offers from teams and had to call GS and Boston himself. GTFO.

 

[bmoore04]

I kind of wish he would have went to Boston. Would have made for an exciting finals.

If it was only for one year to make sure I got a ring and hopefully get healthy enough to return to form? Sure.


It's one year of his life that he won't even play all of. Why not go for it? You make it seem like he wont be able to afford to live off 5.3 million for one year.

 

[Marko]

The media is making a big deal about taking down the huge Lebron banner in Cleveland

 

[FESTER665]

No mention of Rondo to LAL ??? Curious if that means they might move some of the younger guys for Leonard now ??? The GSW move might have forced them to do something they didn't want to.

A ring doesn't have any real value. Cousins will be looked at like Nick Young on this team. He's just another guy. Yeah, sure he can get by on $5.3 mil but he is giving up $20-25 he will *never* get back. If this is a player like LeBron, where he is worried about his legacy as an all time great, and he has more money in endorsements than he gets from a contract, then I'd get it. But it's not.

Dan Marino disagrees.

 

[Sprayin]

Dan Marino disagrees.

I see that's also where you stopped reading.

Dan Marino is an all time great. He actually had a legacy to worry about. He was also THE GUY on his team. Cousins is the 3rd, maybe 4th guy on the Warriors. He also has no chance of being an all time great. A championship on this team is literally meaningless.

Obviously it's not meaningless to him, or else he would have taken more money from another team.



To him it looks like he spends a year there and has a possibility to win a championship while recovering then goes for the big money deal once people see he came back from the injury.

At what point could you argue another 25 million dollars is meaningless? Sounds crazy to us regular people but when you make piles of money every single year another pile of money just isn't that important.

Nail on the head 100% why wouldn't he do exactly this?

 

[Chet Donnelly]

LOL!!

Bron has really aged in just 8 years. LOL.

 

[Sprayin]

Damn Jimmy Buckets just got sent to Philly.

 

[10sec]

Welp, looks like I'll watch more of them then.

 

[Sprayin]

They're gunna be really good if he can fit in.

 

[10sec]

They traded one of their best shooters and a good PF for him?

 

[Sprayin]

Saric and Covington. They're streaky at best. Jimmy is an elite wing defender. They absolutely got better.

 

[Shawn1112]

Hoiberg was just shit canned.
Now do the same with GarPax!

 

[Marko]

Good. What took so long? Lol.


The Bulls owners suck.

I agree, but GarPax is to blame for 90% of the shit show going on.
Every player that has left has talked shit about those 2 and thats the reason they cant sign any big name free agents.
I wish they would sell the Bulls to someone who wants to see them do well.
