LOL! Pro football players (NFL)reacts to the money handed out to nba guys. Like they picked the wrong sport!

SIRcumalot:
Because of the discussion we had here,were I seem to Rate Barnes and you laughed at me.
By your standing.
Deng,
Bazemore
Batum.
Parson.
etc.
Are All better and would probably cost less but everybody they chase KD.

True tho! But they aren't available anymore . Kevin Durant might just pull a David Aldridge on us like AL did to lakers

olu4life:
Dirty Grandpa - Hilarious and cool movie... 7/10

I avnt seen dirty Grandpa. Have you seen Bad Grandpa?

SIRcumalot:
I don't think horford joining the Celtics change the power structure in the east.
we've already seen horford at his best with a better team,and it was enough.

KD is just wasting all this team time.
instead of going after Durant,that will remain in OKC all this team should have been after the next best wing in FA.

Which is?

A40:
Dirk is available I no know wetin una dey wait for

I tire oooo.....

Pls since it does not look like we are going for bigs, cuz all d potential bigs r not available. Does that mean we are keeping Ezeli, Bogut and our bench to sign Durant (of cuz Barnes moves)

I dnt get....

WHY ARE WE BANKING ON ONE PLAYER WHEN WE CAN MAKE A FEW TWEAKS AND STILL BE A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM WITHOUT DURANT

bykebyke:
Who the fück is Olajutwãt??

lol Hakeem Olajuwon I guess

What's the name of this series

Dygeasy:
The 100 is not scary at all.

lol ddn't say that... I said she shud try the series... It's a nice series

demiladegold:
I've been thinking of seeing that movie but I didn't know it was horror...... thanks love

its not horror dear but has its fair share of killings tho.

Not that gruesome but quite nice

demiladegold:
thank you sir.... I'm going to try wyonna Earp. I like the tittle

try the 100 am so sure you will like it.. Especially season 2

OohMpa:
[color=#808000]Conley is a GOAT...

There are only two previous players that got paid >30m a year: The two GOATS, Jordan and Kobe

Lebron is officially not in league with Conley let alone the other two.
Conley is the 3rd greatest player of all time and the best point guard since Naismith discovered basketball.

Sai Mike Con Con [/color]

I am just wondering how much Curry would be offered next season

SmooshCHN:
If you opened your eyes and read and comprehended you shouldn't be asking me foolish questions.. Where did you see me say GSW signed Durant?? To correct my mistake, "Durant's buddies says he will be staying at OKC 90%".

lmao

SmooshCHN:
Congratulations to Harrison Barnes.. GSW will match Mavs offer as Durant announced he wouldn't be signing to Warriors.. Barnes will be the highest paid and 5th Man on the team. It's going to be one hell of a season.

. DURANT hasn't ruled out the warriors come on, he ruled out the Clippers.

Roland17:
With all the financial incentive from the NBA free agency, city and team loyalty has just been tossed off the window...

Its all about the money now, forget loyalty

sure Arron just left an upgrading Knicks team to the bottom sack kings team for 25"mil 2yr deal

While Biyombo signs for magic



WARRIORS NA WA OO ALL THE FREE AGENT BIGS R SOLD OUT

LoJ:
You seemingly still do not get my point do you?

I have nothing against debating and diverging opinions. What I consider fruitless is this -prove your stance; ohh you prove yours first- kind of dialog. And That is what I tried to avoid. I do not see the relationship you are trying to make with free discussions or the purpose of this thread.

I say it again: what I tried to avoid was each one asking the other to back his claims, endlessly.

Majority of the conversations here especially conversations whereby both parties are not on the same page are always spoken with facts.. So if u see that as fruitless no wahala. I get your points and it's noted.

Thanks for the original info tho

LoJ:
First off, I didn't say it is a useless debate. I said, in order to avoid a useless debate. Again, you seem to have forgotten what happened. You made a claim, and I made a counter claim. Then you asked me to prove my claim, meanwhile you did not back your own claims with any fact/reference. I could have also asked for proofs, and THAT would have led to an endless circle, and a useless debate. That was the useless debate, I was refering to, and tried to avoid.

With respect to your decision to ignore me, feel free to do so. I am not a great knower of the game anyway, there are many here who will meet your standards.

Greetings .

if you asked me for a claim I would have told you point blank that I made an assumption, being that we are talking about two currencies and I was taking into consideration the exchange rate and how exposed each league was.

Asking for your facts wasn't to bring up anything I just wanted to know cuz I was surprised nba players wud earn more.

Endless circle and a useless debate you say, that means 98% of people who engage in back and forth conversations here based on opinions, sentiments, views, facts etc are engaging in useless debates.

Infact any conflicting conversation is a useless debate.. Hear how that sounds? Then why was this thread created then?

LoJ:
I could ask you the same question, since you also made a claim on no basis. But to avoid useless debates, just compare the average wages in the premier league and the average salary in the Nba

NBA: average 4m $
Premier League: 1M Pounds per year.

Needless to underline that the premier league is the richest football league in Europe.

I
actually asked because I needed more insight into what you said as I was surprised much...

But for you to say it's a "useless debate" was very rude and unnecessary as you could have made your point without that... Things like this make people refrain from having healthy conversations.

But it's noted Sir! I will definitely take note of you so I Dont engage on "useless debates with you" in near future

LoJ:
I think on average, an nba professional player earns more than a professional football player.
And Nike deal with lebron (unlimited 1 bn$) is astonishing.

on what facts are you basing your average on

lolawilliams:
All these contract are making me go crazy. Do soccer players make this much??

lol yes now much more sef! Biggest sport in the world unlike NFL and NBA

Roland17:
The guy village people really plan him case well well..see timing!!!!When him mates they enjoy free money, imagine Mazgov for over $60M..

THERE IS NO WAY IN THIS WORLD MY SON/ DAUGHTER (WHENEVER DEM DECIDE TO COME) WOULD NOT PLAY COLLEGIATE/ PROFESSIONAL SPORT... DEM MUST PLAY ONE, IT IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE INFACT NA ME GO CHOOSE

Imagine the money these guys are playing around with to play their hobby in God's own country.

over $1billion has been spent in just one day it's insane

Whiteside last season 980, 000
Whiteside this season 98,000,000
Dude went to the zoo to "talk to animals" some hrs after the deal... Wat luxury

Evan Turner signs with blazers wats your take?

lolawilliams:
I really don't know much about WNBA though, do you?

same here nothing

SmooshCHN:
if Durant were to sign anywhere, it would be 80% Warriors. The OKC Durant talk yesterday lasted 5hrs, Warriors Durant 2hr.. We all know the 5hrs talk was serious based on the fact they were so close to taking Warriors this season which I don't think is any threat. I predict Durant signs a 2year deal with player option. Makes more money and knows what to do depending on what Westbrook decides to do.


I'm still not happy we didn't chase Batum.

we ddn't even make an attempt. But I believe in our front office and I give them the benefit of doubt that they know what they are doing.

We must sha have a major upgrade this season sha... Cuz teams are making deals and upgrades...

Haven't heard them going for a center yet

Bombshell: NBA announces that free agent O.J. Mayo has been banned from league for violating anti-drug policy.

When your village people decides to visit your case

lolawilliams:
Recapping Free Agency So Far...
-Timofey Mozgov (4 yrs, $64M) Los Angeles Lakers
-DeMar DeRozan (5 yrs, $145M) Toronto Raptors
-Ish Smith (3 yrs, $18M) Detroit Pistons

-Bradley Beal (5 yrs, $128M) Washington Wizards


These basketballer are making alot of $$$ mennn. Mizzzbeee, let's join the WNBA too ooo.

My dear!!! Ikr But don't think WNBA pays that well tho! Stand to be corrected. How well do the league make money?

Hmm blazers trying to add Parsons and Howard

Warriors in talk with Durant for over two hours now

Lin signs with Nets $36mil NETS !!!!

Actually forgot that franchise exist

Warriors keep Livingston - max cap room $14.5 mill w.o trade

SmooshCHN:
I saw the Gasol stuff but I don't even understand the plans for Bogut and Ezeli.. And I don't want Barnes taking Max. He'll be demanding close to $24M/Year.

Update rumors news:Warriors wants to trade Bogut

SmooshCHN:
He's gone 5yrs/$120M for Hornets.. KD for sure isn't coming maybe 20%.. And we're left to match whatever Harrison Barnes request.. Someone who isn't even worth Max for what he does.

Warriors to pivot to Pau Gasol if unable to sign Durant nice but would prefer BATUM.... We need someone to drive to the basket ooo

Update: he hasn't signed yet...

Don't tell me Warriors ain't aware BATUM is FREE

Mavs are also in the race for him

Sources say KD is 90% going to re-sign

Mehn the trades news are getting sweeter

nairamaniac:
I think you are right. But he was more figured out in the regular season. The big players bought most of the screens that caused them to find themselves marking curry at the perimeter. They were more eager in going closer to him rather than hesitating or looking for their original-offender.

Curry's 3s kind of dipped due to this. It made him rather best them with some bad asss handles for 2's instead or miss more than he did during the regular season.

just one question Sir, did you watch the regular season? If Yes, can you pls classify in what percentage

I have been saying this for a while now.... I actually think this would work out for him if it happens... Na he fits in just right.

But dnt knw if Clippers can afford him and keep all four
