He was looking for a max deal. I think it was Philly or Orlando at that point. He said the Clippers deal was disrespectfulHe would have taken that deal if the Philly one wasn’t on the table. It worked out perfectly in their favor.
This isn't the NFL. There isn't really a precedent for stars still performing receiving anything less than the max.
GMs are stupid as hell. I think they're still going to give out these contracts. Every GM thinks they can fix a broken player at some point
It’s Not just injury prone players that aren’t worth these deals but even healthy players. Ingram is not a super max player. Neither is Booker. Beal even with good health was never worth it. It’s only really a handful of players in the league worth 50 mill a year.Wizards GM got fired after giving Beal that deal. Morey probably about to get fired partially for the PG deal. Fired GMs rarely get another opportunity to be GM. GMs aren’t going to risk their multi million dollar per year salaries like that anymore on injury prone stars.

Steph, Giannis, Jokic, SGA, Morant.
Luka would be if he was in shape and available. Tatum LeBron and Edwards.
Protect GMs and owners from themselves.
The max is a stupid concept. They should make it harder and lower the cap percentage. Max players should only get up to 25% the cap space. That opens up player movement when they want to get traded. Contracts should be two years with a third year option after the rookie contract.
Retired players should see more and medical benefits should be higher. Players get 49-51% of the revenue??? Spread the fukking wealth instead of paying bums like Beal 50M+.
Maybe 12 players at the most are super max players. Mobley is about to make all nba this year and will get paid his next contract.It’s Not just injury prone players that aren’t worth these deals but even healthy players.

with guaranteed salaries? This ain't what you want.They should just get rid of the max contract and implement a hard cap.
