BREAKING: Free agent F Paul George has agreed on a four-year, $212 million maximum contract with the Philadelphia 76ers

The supermax is fine the way it is. Just make it more difficult in who qualifies for it.

Besides, the owners could have theoretically said no to giving out those deals. I mean the Clippers essentially did.

Let's not forget that Philly also did the same thing in giving PJ Tucker 3 years fully guaranteed at age 37 and why he's still in the league till this day.

It's actually pretty dumb the way it is set up now, because all it does is force a team to spend more of it's salary cap (35%) to keep a player, while other teams can get said player for as low as 25% of the cap (depending on service time).

What they need to do is just give the player 35% of the cap for a supermax contract like they do now BUT only have it count on the books as a regular max for whatever that player service time is. Then if the player get's traded they contract goes from a super max to a regular max.

I don't know why they don't make it as simple as, if you don't make All NBA a certain amount of years in the previous 5 years, you aren't eligible for the Supermax. Thee end

That's unfair to the player because what if it's another situation like Luka in where the player doesn't want to be traded, but it's up to the teams discretion?

It's called having a competitive advantage in wanting to keep the player that you drafted and developed. Now with that being said, the team should get some cap relief because of it, which I'd agree with.

Luka has made five straight All NBA first team NBA appearances before this year. I can't sit here and say that he didn't deserve the supermax and could understand why he'd be mad about it though.

Making it more difficult would definitely help prevent one off situations in where a player could theoretically make All NBA team once and qualify for it.

Or even something like basing the dollar value based on which team you make and save the supermax for First Team.

PG did play in 74 games last season, but him actively valuing his podcast over being on the court is going to make him the prime example for why they need to add caveats to max/supermax deals.

Again...he didnt just start the podcast. They coveted dude for more than a year while he was chatty pattying. Also says a lot when he played 74 last year and still avg just over 50 for his time in LA. Dudes dont tend to get less injury prone in their mid-late 30s. And nonethless they coveted him for more than a year. That aint got nothing to do with the max or stealing. Thats all about orgs being dumb and at some point we gotta hold them accountable and stop looking for ways to let them of the hook...that they keep choosing to put themselves on.

Yeah, I don't think teams.should be penalized for drafting well building teams. A certain percentage of supermax should not count against the cap if it's the team that drafted you or something like that.

Or how about if you think he is worth it you pay him...if you dont you don't? Thats as simple as you can get.

Cheap, incompetent owners (aka majority) dont want that . The goal is not to reward competence...its to maximize income while being incompetent.

Nah fukk that. Performance-Based contracts should be the way to go going forward

Everyone got mad at the New Orleans Pelicans that gave Zion a contract with a whole bunch of stipulations based on weight and games played. Now they look like geniuses looking at how Zion has been underwhelming

Performance based revenue and profits too right?

Right? They don't want OKC to be able to kep their guys together that they drafted they want the Bulls to remain profitable no matter how they cheap out and mismanage the team.

He's such a lame. Nasty work pixelating the picture to make it seem like nipples were exposed.

I used to think he simply just didn't read the room. Scratch that, it now looks like he doesn't give one f*ck.
