The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[iheartboost]

Timberlake sold his entire catalog for this?

Desmond Bane and Tyrese Haliburton are ascending young stars. They were getting paid this or very close to this by somebody.

If you don't grasp this, then you are wayyy out of the loop as far as NBA basketball goes.

Halliburton ain’t did nothing in the league so far

 

[casper90403]

A'Ja Wilson signing for $200k per year.

I wonder how long until we see a WNBA player make $500k in the WNBA per year. 20 years?

Sign off it’s bad

People still can’t wrap their heads around a 25% max signed under a 109 million dollar cap and a 146 million dollar cap are going to be very different numbers

I’m confused why y’all laughing at bane money…he earned it and they gotta pay it…they need him

Ascending young star Desmond Bane is going to do so much more than he’s done right

To earn the $200 million

 

[jpzx]

Anytime a guy plays 58 regular season games and has good stats, while shooting in the playoffs

42% from the field
32% from 3pt

You gotta give him $200 million

Because the cap’s going up + defense lasts forever

And to be honest Halliburton didn’t do anything at Iowa St either. Man’s been finessing so far.

That’s why the league screwed up now. Zion has played in 30 games his career and got a max deal.

Kyrie’s running around destroying teams and getting $100mil plus. When these teams grow a backbone things will even out.

If you’re not paying Halliburton, who are you paying? Like someone said earlier, he’s the best point in the east.

Locking up the Bane-JJJ-Morant trio was huge for Memphis. Didn’t matter what the contract costs. They saved hella money on the JJJ & Ja contracts anyway.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

We're approaching the days where some of these players will be making a million dollars a game. And it's gonna end up being somebody like RJ Barrett who just happens to be eligibile when the new money kicks in

 

[finessence]

Desmond Bane is only 24 years old. Has gotten better every year, is a 42% 3pt shooter and 88% FT shooter.

Jerami Grant got 160….

What’re we doing man? 5-200 for Bane is a solid deal

 

[Platinum State]

That Bane contract

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Seeing anti go this hard on bane for this many months while putting his life on the line for Poole is mind bottling

 

[clyde the glide]

Its like some folks dont wanna accept Bane is a good player . The money all around is ridiculous nowadays but if thats what the market says hes worth it doesnt seem that far off all things considered.

 

[frink85]

Role players making 40+ million, WATTBA

These are the same type of 'fans' who were throwing a fit when SGA got his deal.

Let's hear about that bad deal.

As if the trajectory isn't plain as day to anyone with half a brain.

 

[Zo gif]

Role players making 40 million is crazy
Legit nuts

 

[pmatic]

 

[dasitmane]

I’m taking haliburton and bane on those deals over Fred at similar money over three seasons

 

[had pants]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Assuming it’s Portland, right

 

[QU!K]

Days after the Poole deal dudes were trying to justify the contract saying it was good.

A season after we all saw what happened.

It might take some time but some of y’all will realize these are bad contracts.

 

[B Sox]

Can confidently say there’s a good chunk of people in here that have no idea how the cap works

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Good for him.

Good for him.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Not being close to a contender & using 40-45% of the salary cap on Haliberton & Bruce Brown is Wild

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Mavs have 5 centers and yet they still need a real starting one of those

So on brand
