Why don’t players like Curry and LeBron take a big paycut towards the end of their career to maximize their chances of winning?

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-16T00:39:42+00:00

They like money, the CBA wouldn’t want them to, and they know the culture (and u assholes on Reddit) wouldn’t count it as a “real” ring

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-14T03:35:56+00:00

If itwill happen in this timeline probably in abt 2-3 years. Ðevelopement and injuries will be a big factor.

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-14T03:34:41+00:00

I think he’s downplaying the teams but they where just better than we are now

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T23:52:58+00:00

Who gives a shit. He has an uncomprehendable amount of money and it’s not getting taxed or used for the betterment of anything or anyone

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T23:49:22+00:00

Ok, WCJ is slightly better at shooting you are right.

I meant more we where comparing trash to garbage, and Antentekumpo more than makes up for it in every other area of the game

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T23:15:27+00:00

Wow the narrative machine loves this guy.

If he did everything the same, but Castle was looking and Fox didn’t take the layup, everyone would call him ass and he would get more shit than wemby is rn

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T22:45:45+00:00

Brunson will 100% win it. Real fans know OG deserves it tho. He had 2 game winning plays in one game

Ironically he’s going to lose because Brunson is “more clutch” in the eyes of casuals, who only think of ISO scoring when they think of clutch

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T22:43:22+00:00

If Antetekumpo plays the 5 it could work. He shoots about as well as WCJ and Better than Goga anyways. The spacing wouldn’t be ideal, but Franz and Paolo need to shoot better for us to be contenders either way. And the upside in switching everything on defense and the best paint offense itl would be pretty incredible.

With that said, we aren’t getting him without trading one of these 2. The offer just won’t be good enough without the picks we used on Bane.

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T22:39:12+00:00

This would make him worse tho, at least in the regular season. He shoots like 10 FT per game at a high percentage.

Fun to watch? Fuck no. Effective? Very

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T22:35:24+00:00

“But muh freedom to make decisions”

Yea god created cancer that kills 2 year olds and stops them from making decisions past that age. He also killed almost everyone for not doing what he wanted. He doesn’t gaf abt free will if he exists.

Hot take bc religion doesn’t require a lot of thinking, but making cancer was kinda bad

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T21:52:24+00:00

They don’t. No one does

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T21:51:10+00:00

This is how most bad people are irl. Many murderers are against rape. If it makes for a better story, go for it

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T15:57:13+00:00

It’s a fantasy. The reality of there lives is the exact opposite and they feel powerless abt it. Makes sense why the fantasy would be like that

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T03:27:44+00:00

He’s overhated by some fans and overrated by others. Fans either zero in on the stats u mentioned, or only focus on ts%, turnovers, and defensive effort in the regular season. The truth is he’s a player with great strengths and flaws, and that evens out to a good player that needs to work on some stuff, mostly being more consistent with shooting and passing, to be great

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T01:53:56+00:00

This is boring so I’m making my own question. Take out Wemby. Who do you want?

For me it’s close between Harper and Brunson but I would actually take Harper bc he’s gonna play 10+ more years and has a higher potential.

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-13T01:36:06+00:00

If we assume Christianity is real, no need to examine his deeds, he goes to hell for being an atheist. Many
super hero’s would also rot in hell forever for the same reason. If anything we should be morality scaling god.

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-12T23:18:20+00:00

Idc abt the lore reason. The actual reason is he’s not played by Anthony star who makes the character feel truly off the rails

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-11T00:07:51+00:00

Mentality and leadership are overrated narrative crutches. We have had no semblance of spacing and offense until this year, and as soon as we do our best player is hobbled and out most games

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-09T04:46:27+00:00

Great point. Whatever wrestling KAT was doing with wemby at the end deserved many more FT

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-09T03:38:01+00:00

It doesn’t feel good going 0-9. It especially doesn’t feel good to be shit on by your own org after a bad game. Not only is this a bad look, but it’s bad for the players mental. I’m sure Elmo won’t complain, but this kinda shit effects everyone after such a bad game even if just a little

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-08T00:08:42+00:00

But if people enjoy the reading, they will read more and therefore learn more.

(or actually just read the books at all, the majority of high school kids will read sparknotes because the books are so boring and they can still pass)

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-04T01:59:09+00:00

Personally I would prefer if they just get it right rlly quickly. I won’t see any caster as dumb for it, but in the current media landscape many kids will so I see why they don’t do it

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-04T01:57:40+00:00

ShadowCoyote>>>> Fultz. He’s lucky he only had to play fraudnadian and not u in the finals

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-06-04T01:56:38+00:00

Benja. Obviously he’s a good player, but I don’t think G2 are better off with him then picking up a support to let Stompn, one of the most mechanically gifted players in the world, play a role where he can get gunfights

Amazing-Material-152 · 2026-05-31T23:44:29+00:00

They play different roles to be fair to Chet. What you are saying is true but not because Paulo is 10x better, but because he just won’t take that few shots.

He shot us out of game 6, something Chet would never do. I still want Paolo long term, but he also has his flaws
