OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JUNE 2023

I can't even imagine Bane's agent asking for MAX with a straight face. I bet MEM made the first (and last) offer.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Just read this and had to laugh.

I'm starting to think the 50/50 owner-player split of revenue in recent CBAs got it a bit wrong... When Desmond Bane is making 10x as much a year as Jordan did the bulk of his career, things don't quite add up. Instead of these massive salary jumps with each new CBA, making last year's max contract stars look like role players, they should have found a way to spread a good chunk of that 50% across retired players. They're the ones who actually earned the league its future money, after all. I don't see why the current guys with lucky timing should get all the benefit, and in such a grotesque way.

 

[Strenuus]

Good lord. Just imagine going to bed knowing that no matter what you're making $200 mil.

DANG, that is a sweet deal for ORL.

 

[blazerfan11]

DANG, that is a sweet deal for ORL.

That's Mo Wagner, not Franz Wagner.

 

[lamlor]

DANG, that is a sweet deal for ORL.

That is what I thought as well. Stays with his brother.

 

[lamlor]

That's Mo Wagner, not Franz Wagner.

That would be a huge steal if it was Franz.

[blazerfan11]

Yikes.

 

[Chris Craig]

Hornets are stupid.

 

[lamlor]

Yikes.

It is getting crazy out there. The draft may be the small market way and Portland might know that....might. Not sure how smart Joe is yet.

 

[lamlor]

Hornets are stupid.

They really are. Jordan still in charge?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Grant contract looking better and better.

 

[inconceivable]

WTF is this spending spree about? 52 x 5 for Lamelo? Good player but damn.

Not that fucking good.

 

[maxiep]

It happens every free agent period. Too much money chasing too few players or teams get desperate. You can really see the undisciplined franchises during this period.

 

[DDolla]

Why do we want Miami first rounders when it will be late 2o’s ?

Their first rounders are apparently for like 5 years from now so they might not be that low
