:why:

CP3
Kobe (not based on age but name)
DWill
Rondo
Bynum
Westbrook
Carmelo

All max players

I Love Melo, But He Aint Worth Max

Rondo? MAX :rudy:

Westbrook On His Own? I Dunno About That

You Can Make A Case For D Will & CP3

In My Opinion I Feel Like They Are More Accessories To Greatness Then Actual Greatness

Good trade for OKC. Good amount of upside although I'm not expecting as much out of Martin and Lamb this season as some people expect in this thread.

I do think it makes the Thunder a little weaker in the short-term. They still have enough firepower to get to the Finals.

As for the Rockets, they've been watching too much Moneyball.

you have to throw in merchadise and things like that. Some players bring more money then they receive.

Well I mean I feel like being a superstar in your prime should automatically get you a max deal...Melo pulls in tons of revenue for the Knicks...and Rondo's next deal will be maxed the fukk out and he deserves it being arguably the best PG in the game, it's like having a Peyton Manning on your squad... His PG IQ is rare as hell these days...

If Kobe was a free agent right now you'd sign him to a max contract?

Hell yea. Why wouldn't you give the leading scorer for 99% of the season until he gave it to Durant max? Is Kobe not the best SG in the league? There's no argument here. If we talking for one season, easily max. Obviously he's 34 so we're not talkin length

fukking Jeremy Lin brought in more revenue for the Knicks...

Keep in mind how strong the Knicks brand is....They're financially successful even when they're a lottery team.

Melo has proven himself NOT to be worth a Max deal IMO.

He's a star player who's been getting superstar billing for far too long. And I say this as someone that's a bit of Melo fan.

What You're Saying Makes Sense, And 99% Of People Would Agree With You

I Personally Think There Should Be A Higher Standard For Max Contracts

Guys Like Rondo Should Be Getting Paid Well, But Not Kobe Type Well

he is a max player. I also think these cats are missing out on the whole other aspect these max type players bring.
