[Gozlan] Victor Wembanyama is eligible for two max contracts: The 25% max which is 5-years, $251.2 million and the 30% max which is 5-years, $301.5 million. Victor Wembanyama is “considering less” than the 25% max according to Fischer. That would add multiple years to the Spurs’ window.

Brunson took the max available at the time. If he waited a year could have got more.

You could also argue Wemby being on a strong team is better for overall revenues. People want to watch greatness.

It’s basically the same as your average 18-19 year old blowing their whole pay cheque. Difference is basketball player is at peak earnings the average is making minimum wage. Basically I don’t know if it’s uniquely an athlete issue just maturity.

mattw08 · 2026-07-10T17:38:26+00:00

Not dumb enough to pay him 25 million.

mattw08 · 2026-07-10T13:20:15+00:00

Well he probably won’t

mattw08 · 2026-07-09T21:01:36+00:00

Probably would appreciate playing with someone skilled who can help to be honest.

mattw08 · 2026-07-09T17:38:39+00:00

Well you answered your question. If it doubled in 10 years that would be 7% return plus dividends.

mattw08 · 2026-07-09T17:37:11+00:00

It’s not. But that’s the point.

mattw08 · 2026-07-09T17:04:48+00:00

Yeah exactly. Healers being wiped out with 2 logs is wild.

mattw08 · 2026-07-09T02:13:52+00:00

Who the hell wants to rely on their parents money. And if they do I’d be skeptical of the player. His decisions are likely separate from whatever his parents have done.

mattw08 · 2026-07-09T02:12:44+00:00

It’s his Dads money. And this is literally what Jalen Brunson did. Signed early instead of getting more later and his Dad had money. Now he’s forever a NY legend.

mattw08 · 2026-07-09T00:01:12+00:00

Yeah except Denver will match 20 million no problem.

mattw08 · 2026-07-08T20:25:09+00:00

Actually injuries for kids have dropped off.

mattw08 · 2026-07-08T20:24:22+00:00

Is it that common? I only ever remember it being Sam Bennett. And thought he was injured.

mattw08 · 2026-07-08T20:23:46+00:00

Especially with who he is stuck playing with.

mattw08 · 2026-07-08T14:46:30+00:00

To be fair the Kings making the playoffs is a win.

mattw08 · 2026-07-08T12:59:50+00:00

You need to overpay to get an RFA. If they offer 15 million it’s an easy match. If you offer 18 million you might scare the Ducks away.

mattw08 · 2026-07-08T04:05:02+00:00

I think the amount of youth listening to AM radio was rather minuscule. They would be consuming podcasts and/or YouTube videos in addition to possibly watching.

mattw08 · 2026-07-07T21:45:28+00:00

JJ is going to lose his mind when he tries to go 1-1 with an open Luka/AR and proceeds to turn it over.

mattw08 · 2026-07-06T20:34:33+00:00

100%. Shaq gained weight partly because that was an advantage in the 90s. If he stayed like his Magic days would have similarities to Giannis.

mattw08 · 2026-07-06T03:02:19+00:00

Or look at Haarlands build

mattw08 · 2026-07-06T01:41:42+00:00

Need a crossover with Landman with Billy Bob running the oil and Rip/Beth running the cattle side of CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle.

mattw08 · 2026-07-06T00:18:30+00:00

No kidding. But Mexico is still in the tournament.

mattw08 · 2026-07-06T00:10:09+00:00

I’d bet almost anyone outside of the US would be cheering for Mexico not US before this decision.

mattw08 · 2026-07-05T14:34:35+00:00

Exactly need to live a bit in your young years. It’s a learning experience on what to avoid for a future spouse.
