Imagine maxing out a player that can’t/won’t shoot a jumper

Super Bowl is like that cuz its a once a year "event", only true die hards really care bout the actual quality of play...This year's SB was like the preseason game, they couldn't even score
Fake parity just cuz its every team average at best and the Patriots

Ben's gonna be fine, dude has barely played in the league and people want to act like this is as good as he will be.
Look at where Giannis was with the same amount of games under his belt.

That’s that mamba mvp propaganda. Don’t listen to yo
After they completed their 2nd chip in a row...KD literally said Steph and them changed his life, and he owes a lot to them. There was a good working relationship there. They were the “super villains” etc etc....until the 24/7 free agency talk started...KD feeding into it with the passive aggressive media **** and pouting, and Dray blowing up. All was good until the murmurs of Kyrie/KD link up in NY started getting crazy steam...and they went on that road trip where that was the question 24/7. KD even commented on how the media didn’t wanna see the warriors together, and he knew why it was. They did damn near everything from a media perspective to drive dissension.
*****s are pointing to a bad joke at a championship parade and a healthy KD playing playoff minutes on a shorter roster as reasons why they didn’t “appreciate him”.
Revisionist history at its finest.
Lmfaooo wavy stop blaming the media for your wet dream team getting blown up.
Kd/Kyrie agreed to link up last summer. That’s what Howard Beck reported. The media didn’t plot to pair them together. KD could’ve signed a long term deal to squash any rumor of him leaving. I didn’t know the media made that impossible.

A significant portion of SB viewers barely pay attention to the game. It’s more about the commercials and other fanfare surrounding the game.

Bingo. ROTY and All Star in his first two years....without a jump shot.
He showed great progression from his rookie to sophomore year. And actually had a better year than his counterpart Jayson Tatum. Without a jump shot. So yeah, I agree. Ben will be fine

For over $30M/yr for 5 years though? He HAS to get some semblance of a serviceable shot.

Simmons absolutely deserves that money. Easy decision.
Have we not seen what Middleton got? Tobias? Fringe all stars get maxes. Its the NBA. And Simmons is better than both of them.

Yup. It was supposed to be the Knicks though. Media caused the friction like Draymond didn't call that man a whole ***** on the sideline.

Bigger issue than just the nfl buddy
Or was Donald sterling that long ago to you?
Or mark cuban being concerned about the precedent being set by ousting sterling
Or the dress code that got implemented for dudes who run around in singlets to play the actual game
Or how about what jalen and bomani succinctly pointed out about NBA front offices and analytics guys
Individual players have more power in the NBA, doesn’t mean they solved racism
Just like Obama being elected clearly didn’t solve that issue for America

I love the NFL.
BUT, Fantasy Football has taken NFL to a whole other level. I'll watch the Texans vs. Buffalo because I have the Texans D for crying out loud.

That's that in between time with certain players when you don't have enough of a sample to really go all in on a max, but you don't want to miss out if he develops.
It's a risk a lot of teams take.

I'm not disagreeing. But you pay people that money for what they can be in the future, not based solely on what they've done in the past.
This reminds me a lot of what the Eagles did with Wentz. Lock him up before the shenanigans and move on.

I have a lot more respect for how Adam Silver handles things than how the NFL only tries to protect their white fan base.
