Kevin Durant willing to pass on MAX DEAL

[Kings County]

what a loser. take your money dumbass.

when the hell did the best player on a team have to take a paycuts so the bench nikkas could get max deals?

this new NBA LeBron has created is pathetic.

did lebron join a team that won 80 games

Here's a little sports/business-marketing 101:

If you take less money upfront to give your team a chance to win multiple championships, should your team actually win....you make all that money back and then some, on the backend via sponsorships, endorsements, etc.

Yes, it's a gamble, but corporations would much rather pay a championship winning athlete than an athlete who ain't winning chips.

Not saying you need to be a champion to be in commercials, but I am saying the bread is much better if you are.

Word to Karl Malone.

 

[FTBS]

He already passed on a max deal and took less money to go there in the first place. He's not gonna find a better money/teammates balance elsewhere. So I'm not really sure what is noteworthy about this. I just came in for the and intellectual dishonesty/hypocrisy. Wasn't disappointed .

LeBron wouldn't join a soft jump shooting team. He's a ruff rider.....or so the coli tells me.

Waiting for the mandatory "I need more help" by LeBron after the Cavs get beaten in the Finals.

 

[Shogun]

I'd guess the endorsements/exposure that come from being on a winning team outweighs whatever salary cut he's taking.

 

[Morethan1]

huh????


he has a bron like deal?

Kevin Durant has made 133 million from the nba. He got a Nike brand. Also reuppes with Nike for 300 million. His next max contract is 200 million. That's 633 million. Before 40. Before he dies he would have earned a billly

 

[Trapperman Dave]

Yall act like y'all don't get it at times.

Kobe already set his legacy in LA. He was worth it in the end right?
Melo took the max while already forcing the team to gut the roster to acquire him.
KD probably just wanted out of OKC period, he saw GSW as his best shot at a championship whether that makes him competitive or not is semantics

 

[Juggalo Fred]

If they win, I got a feeling Steph is taking a paycut as well

a paycut from 14 million?

True


More rings, equals more money



Word to Jordan, Magic, Shaq, and Lebron

 

[Big Boss]

of course he is...

nikkas talking money have zero clue what the money men in their camp are doing.

ok KD takes the max... steph takes the max... the warriors get broken up when Klay and Dray want the max too... they have 2-3 rings in the next few years and spend the next 10 getting 0 while some other kid is taking less and winning rings


OR


they all take a little less... stay together 3-5 more years... win 3-5 more rings (cause who the hell gonna beat them consistently) and they are a dynasty... 5 years of being the faces of the NBA with the rings to prove it.. merch goes up.. worldwide recognition goes up... endorsements go up... they start getting compared to MJ and will they catch kobe and magic in rings...

which leads to WAY more money than signing a max for a team that ain't winning multiple rings


you talking about nikkas with 250 mil plus shoe deals alone.. what you think that number goes up to with 4 rings?

y'all not seeing the long game here

Yep


More rings equals more money
