Really? So how come Embiid, AD, Chris Paul and so many others negotiated less than max deals? You guys don’t have any clue what you’re talking about and that’s what he’s banking on - your ignorance. And it’s working. Kyrie Irving has played less than 50 percent of games since being a Net, no “all nba” player with that availability history gets a full max. Moreover, they gave him a full max for 3 years to match the remainder of KD’s contract. He gets 85 percent of an additional NON-KD YEAR GUARANTEED.Yes it is. He is an all-nba level player, those players don't take Incentives, stipulations, or any other bullshyt clause. This is a player's league, the owners just cash the checks. The idea of "negotiations" with an all-nba player died years ago. They get the max by default.
Do you hear yourself? A Nîgga who has played 50 percent of games and has been awful against the team the Nets need to beat (Boston) was just basically offered 190 million out of a possible 200 million and can earn the entire 200 million if he wins a title in any year. The only thing absurd is thinking that an organization would not protect itself when a player has availability issues. Kawhi Leonard just took less than what he could have fully earned because of his availability history. What are you nikkas talking about?
