You dey mind them?? Anything to make the Warriors weak dey make them happy.. I imagine the disaster if we had kept Ezeli and Bogut.
The only guys that are value for money outside the Warriors core are Iggy and Livingston. The rest you just fill out from the draft. Look at the Sixers who went to give Redick $23m. Anybody who saw Redick last season can easily tell he is actually starting to suck as a shooter. Which is about the only thing he is good at. He is a poor man's Kyle Korver
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:31am On Jul 02, 2017
$8m for Livingston to stay is a massive steal. In the unlikely event Iggy walks you just stagger the minutes of Green with the bench unit. They had to keep at least one of Iggy or Shaun and it seems they have suceeded

Bums wanking off to this news don't realise that this record will be shattered in a few months. Funny thing is curry owes a lot of thanks to LeBron for this. I'm waiting for an ignorant bum to ask me why.

Bros, everything no be competition. You want LeBron to be paid higher than Curry? Fine. You win, carry cup. What an achievement by Bron.

We're talking about a loyal G that put his team first before money, this hobo is quoting a player that switches allegiances while managing to accrue the highest luxury tax in NBA. It's not a fight, make hin carry $40m join for Cavs with his overpaid jellybeans. If that one be your problem for next season, DM Adam Silver.

In case you're through picking beans, kindly watch paint dry off. Inugo?

You asked who deserves it more. Hes done great things for GSW, sells more jerseys than even LeBron, he deserves every penny. But here's the thing, in the end it's not about who deserves what.

LeBron, the undisputed best player in the league has never been highest paid player in the league or even on his TEAM until last year and 2015 respectively, not because he couldn't or because he didn't deserve to be. Yet you're calling him names. LeBron also being the executive vice president of players union is partly responsible for salaries sky rocketing in the NBA. Yet you're calling him names. He is one of the first few players to congratulate curry for his new contract, yet you're calling him names. Your hatred for this almost flawless man knows no bound.

They can all stay if they want, it won't matter, I have cursed them all with brick hands. My sacrifice to vidar has been well received. Once the new season begins you'll see what I mean. At this point that's our only hope.

Who called Bron names? You blind or what?

Get it into your thick skull right now. Curry is the face of the NBA. Calling the best player in the league is no one's business

And don't twist numbers to suit you. LeBron was the highest paid in Heat with Bosh. Is that a reason he deserves it more?

LeBron is the face of the NBA wan.ker, not curry. The headlines and focus of these playoffs being majorly on lebron proves that. When GSW won the headline didn't read that, it read that LeBron lost.

Is LeBron on the same level as Chris bosh? What brand of st.upid are you?

Yes. As executive vice president of the NBA players union, it is part of his duties to help negotiate limitations on player contracts. Which he did. Expect to see a lot of contracts like Curry's soon.

Bare facts, only the ignorant deny.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:02am On Jul 02, 2017
James tweeted Saturday, “So tell me again why there’s a cap on how much a player should get?? Don’t answer that. Steph should be getting 400M this summer 5yrs. #JMTs” in response to a tweet about how Curry increased the Warriors’ franchise value.



Hate him all you want, this man is a class act! One of the best role models in sports today.

If players can make more from these billionaires, Im all for it. Btw Currys payout is partly because he was on a crappy contract for so long, given how much he meant to the franchise. Considering his patience and maturity in letting Klay and everyone else get their payday, this deal is a good reward. Also sends a message that the warriors will treat their players right. I dont know that i can say that about rockets

Well Curry is one of the few players who made the Warriors a really good team. I'm okay with his contract. I starting thinking when JJ Redick gets more paid than the best Quaterback in NFL right now. Redick isnt even a top20 player.

And LeBron said they don't need more Brons. They need more Scientist, engineers, teachers, physical therapist, police officer. Please tell me who wants to wake up early in the morning working close to 10hours a day and wont even make close to what a rookie makes 5hours on court after working for a week.

It's the duty of the player union to look out for players in the league. Thanks to The President and the Vice president and the union for helping veterans earn more after last year's meeting. But to say LeBron helped Curry in contract limitation is pure Cock sucking. Curry was already projected $36-38M for a new contract next year. It's only sensible to extend his contract after a championship when a 2 time MVP & 2 time champion has been underpaid for like 3yrs (not four). Only a fool would think it's OK for Curry to take as equal as anybody on the FA.. And that tweet came "after" the contract announcement not before. Class act by LeBron playing the senior brother role on social media to every athletes.. He only congratulated him after, like every classy dude should do.
He didn't get Curry his deserved contract and had no influence in it. Still a classic Man for congratulating him.

Hmm, that last part tho.. I'm starting to think the world only lives for athletes to be honest. $23M for Reddick, Jrue Holiday $23M. All these money they're sharing dey fear person. Are teachers, engineers and doctors in the US getting this type of raise? Maybe a stupid question but I'm just curious.

Shaun L said "you can't put a price tag on happiness" and I think that is where his focus was. He could go somwhere else for that pay day and be making $$$ but taking Ls, to what end. This guy was bounced around 8 teams because of the career-threatening injury he faced and today he has 2 rings to his name. 99% of other NBA players will not win 1 ring. Think of it!

As per KD it would be less than the super max but only just. I am guessing something like $31M a year. We can afford to pay Curry this much regardless of cap because we have his bird rights. What Curry did was to agree with the deal in principle. Then Myers and Lacob can sign or resign whoever under the cap and then pay Curry whatever they need to to reward him.

As per Iggy, the contract shocked me (when juxtaposed with Shaun's) but I guess half of that contract is just for his intelligence as a player and his D on Bron (lol). I just hope this would not affect Klay's or Draymond's 2 years from now.

Lacob purchased GSW at $400M or so and today the franchise is worth $2.6B. That is an over 500% increase in just a handful of years. The NBA and owners make a lot not to pay these players this much whereas how much value in terms of hard currency do Nurses and Engineers bring to their franchises? Not as much as these athletes I would wager.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:02am On Jul 02, 2017
Na Clippers I just sorry for $173m for a guy who hasn't played over 70 games in 3 years. They won't even lose enough games to be a lottery team and improve via the draft

Chandler Parson's deal still makes me feel some type of way.

Even actors get paid than doctors, engineers and teachers. When other countries will tell you doctors and engineers contribute more than athletes and actors to the society, here in usa, 70% of people wont agree with that.

But i feel the reason is that athletes receive their pays based on the amount of people their services are sold to. A dollar each from a million people will make you rich. Doctors and engineers are not paid as much as them because of the same reason.

People hav enough disposable income that allows them to spend a considerable amount of money on entertainment which makes entertainers such as sportmen, musicians, and film stars rich. No one will buy a 50 dollar ticket to watch an engineer or a doctor work.

True though. You only use the word "elite and deadly" for Curry. Redick's obsessive quest to make every shot he takes has depreciated. There are good players they can get for that amount or even less than that.
