$127m -- Why is LA worth that?

[SlyPokerDog]

I wouldn't bet on it. How Terry had used LA has really increased his trade value.

FTFN

Fixed That For Nate.

(Just teasing Nate.)

 

[Natebishop3]

Durant got his max deal before he was MVP. Tell me you were joking. Do I need to remind you again that how quickly the NBA gets a faxed offer doesn't matter, so long as it's withing the 24-hour window?

Is this what we have to look forward to all summer? You constantly attacking people you disagree with?

I wouldn't bet on it. How Terry had used LA has propelled him to career years.

Fire Stotts!

Can't afford to keep or lose him

Interesting dichotomy

You said MVPs get max contracts. Durant wasn't an MVP when he got his max contract. If you don't want people to comment negatively on your posts, don't post stupid posts.

Oh I see, the attacks started AFTER that post? My bad.... I was under the assumption that you were freaking out since yesterday...

Did I say only MVPs get max deals? Nope.

you did imply it though. : /

MVP's get max deals. I forget, when did LA win the MVP?

but i'll leave you two, to your pissing contest.

MVP's do get max deals.

Kevin Durant wasn't 30 when he got his max contract

No worries, my posts will be deleted in another fit of rage.

Kevin Durant wasn't 30 when he got his max contract

Neat story. That has nothing to do with Durant getting a max deal before his MVP.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Forums wouldn't be any fun if everyone agreed with each other. It's the differences in opinions that makes it interesting and keeps the discussion going.

Please remember that and even if you don't agree with something that someone says it would be even worse if they agreed with you.

Kevin Durant wasn't 30 when he got his max contract

Tony Parker signed a 4 year / $50 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs, including $41,000,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $12,500,000.

Max.

MVP's do get max deals.

come on.... they do, and that's not what you implied..... : /
or were trying to say... I don't want to get into this again with you, it's not worth the time and effort.
agree to disagree.

 

[Natebishop3]

He's also making about 10 million per year less than what LA would be making in his next deal. So how is it relevant to a $127 million dollar contract? How many people are making that much in the NBA?

 

[RoyToy]

Neat story. That has nothing to do with Durant getting a max deal before his MVP.

He signed a 5 year deal worth $86M in the old CBA

That's not a max contract

agree to disagree.

What are we disagreeing about exactly?

 

[RoyToy]

When Dirk was 31 he signed a 4-year deal worth $80M

He's also making about 10 million per year less than what LA would be making in his next deal. So how is it relevant to a $127 million dollar contract? How many people are making that much in the NBA?

Weren't you just whining about posters being black/white?

Because to me, it seems like you either think LMA will sign the uber-max deal, or he must be traded. I've posted many times I can easily see him taking 5/$100m, which is completely reasonable as the salary structure continues to grow. You're taking today's cap numbers and applying them 6 years down the road, which by the way probably won't even be relevant, since the next opt-out CBA date for both sides is in 2017. Hell, maybe if LMA does underperform on a $20-22m/year deal, he can be amnestied after the 2017 renegotiation.

Pant-shitting over things that may happen 6 years from now is just so distant from reality to me that I really can't help but just shake my head.

That's funny because that is exactly the way I feel about your posts. The exception is I can admit when I post to spin people up, you just hide in denial and claim the mods are picking on you.

Where have I said that he must be traded since the season ended? Seriously, point me to it. I'll wait patiently. You can keep talking about pant shitting, but the only person who has been pant shitting is you since the whole Cavs/#1 thing happened.

Please, you need to stop the pant-shitting stuff and calm down when people have a different opinion than you do.

That the sky is black. it's actually a shade of grey.

 

[PapaG]

Also, I can almost guarantee you that Neil Olshey, with 2 more years on his contract, and Paul Allen, who has already beat cancer once, don't give a shit about cap implications 6 years from now. They'd be fools if they weren't trying to win a title next year. If LMA can be traded to get closer to a title in the opinion of Olshey/Allen, then I imagine a deal will be made. If it can't, I think they'll pay LMA whatever he wants, and worry about the next season, instead of the year 2020.

I didn't realize that calling out what I think are stupid and panicked ideas wasn't allowed here.

Sorry. I'll temper my ridicule.

If Aldridge can't stick to a reasonable contract then I say shame on him

If he signs the rumored $127m deal that tells me winning isn't his #1 priority

I heard on the news there is a sophomore is high school who is already 7ft. So in 2 years he'll be 18.. then he'll go to Kentucky, then be one and done. Need the first overall draft pick for the...... what.... 2018 draft class? Trade Aldridge for that please.
