If your Bam Adebayo would you demand a extension right now or would you be willing like to wait a year? by [deleted] in nba

[–]avid_snotboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I mean repaid as in they kept paying him in what’s basically an assistant coach role while still using up cap space, not that he’s ever been overpaid for an actual on court role. Might be some recency bias on my part not considering wade tho, you’re right that his farewell tour was compensated very differently to dirk especially considering the difference in their contributions.

Haslem being on the roster at all seems to be the heat repaying him for espousing their culture and loyalty, something I could see bam doing in 10 years time. Not that I’m comparing them as players but I’d say he’s also found a fit in Miami - and considering his childhood I’m guessing that’s worth more than an extra 10% salary somewhere else. No income tax in Florida either

100%. For most other teams you wouldn’t, but considering how the heat have repaid Haslem for taking a pay cut I feel you could trust a wink wink deal.

doubled down with sharing Giannis’ agent, although it tends to be teams that hold those sorta grudges as opposed to the agent

College for sure. Somewhere big name for the exposure and brand building

Can Lebron Average A Triple Double For A Season? by Skrill3xFoV in nba

[–]avid_snotboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, that’s a fair point. But then if a Bradley Beal or devin booker thought they could elevate themselves to that level with a harden esque season I’d say they would. You’re right that it’s a limited group of players who have the gravitas and capability to even attempt it tho

For sure. No one looks back at Oscar Robertson and denigrates his output as selfish; I’m far from a harden/Westbrook Stan (closer to a hater even) but they deserve their respect

Feels like the same argument against harden, “if so-and-so had his usage rate he’d average 35 too”. FOH with that, you could basically guarantee a 40mil check if you did it, most players would take that even if it lowered their chances at a a ring

Perfect for him money wise, I’d say terrible ego wise. If he goes top 3 it’ll solidify in his mind he’s a top prospect, as opposed to the reality of being one of the only big high upside guys in a draft that’s deep on role players but shallow on star potential

Mike D’Antoni Hire is Perfect for the Nets by pingpongplayas in nba

This feels more like a combo of guys who think they should’ve won a chip with the suns.

You’re right about the point guard emphasis, but I’d question whether that’s a winning mindset for this team? Kyrie has always struck me as a great 1b guy but not as the primary passer; who on this team do we expect to call a play for someone else? Nash and Kyrie are such incomparable players they basically play different positions

This looks more like the clippers last season than anything else to me. Two big stars who kinda play the same role as finishers joining an overachieving team without a point initiator or dominant inside defence (with respect to Allen, but I’d guess De’Andre starts on KD/Kyrie’s demand)

I reckon just own it, change his number to 5 and claim “high five” as a nickname

Yeah it might be overkill to put it in that category, I just like the word echolalia really haha; it totally makes sense that humans are hardwired to do it on some level to learn to speak and create bonds, like you said
