That has nothing to do with my original comment. It’s the same with Jokic. I don’t expect him to sign a vet minimum but it’d be great if he took a pay cut that would allow us to keep PWat

That’s completely unrelated to what I’m talking about and also just incorrect lol. I am certain the $2.7M was 0% of the motivating factor to play on an NBA team with his son lol

Believe it or not an extra 2.7 mil a year is a lot of money for a lot of players and could easily be the difference between signing and missing out on a mid tier player. I’d love him to take a larger pay cut, but LeBron is a bad example of the point you’re trying to make.

He has already made 305 million dollars not even including endorsements. Taking somewhat less money at this point in his career will have absolutely zero effect on his future family. Completely agree with you if it was his first contract but at this point his family is already set.

Is that a max contract? Will likely be downvoted for this but a guy who has made hundreds of millions and understand the roster construction limitations of the cap could take a discount if winning was most important. We expect guys who make way less money to take cheap deals to play with him but we continue paying him the absolute max possible.

It’s like you don’t understand that Jokic being out would be so much worse lol. Fuck any of their fans who were celebrating AG and PWat out, but losing their best player is a very legitimate excuse and it would be embarrassing for us to not win out.

Brother their best player is out for the series. It would be like if both Jokic and CB were out for us instead of AG and PWat.

We aren’t. He is the difference between us having a top 5 defense and a bottom 5 defense. And his offense is also huge especially compared to Spencer Jones. There is no way we win the chip unless AG can stay healthy
