WOAT NBA PLAYOFFS

[Rekkapryde]

Commissioner should have vetoed the Durant signing like they did the would-be Lakers super team. Don't know if it's possible, but damnit he should have tried...

.

That's why the league shouldn't own teams (New Orleans at the time). It's the reason why the cp3 to lwo fell through. Hating add owners like Cuban and Gilbert

 

[MikelArteta]

I don't think they will need to, the new CBA seems intent on breaking up superteams, or at the very least stopping them from forming via free agency.

Just look at Paul George, this dude would stay in Indiana if he gets all-nba honors.

[SchoolboyC]

cant wait

I hope NBA institutes a hard cap like the nhl

The Warriors being able to sign Durant outright without breaking up their core was just a case of the stars aligning at the right time

The combination of locking down Curry before he broke out as a star and the huge cap spike allowed it to happen when it otherwise wouldn't

 

[e001]

You shouldn't be able to sign small contracts unless you were 34+, the NBA should obligate teams to sign players to 4~5 years and every max player should have a no trade clause just to fukk these owners over.

 

[Juven]

I said it when it happened, Durant didn't want to compete, didn't want to reach his potential, he just wanted to be a part of something, a true loser attribute.

But some came to his defense saying this would be good for the league. Really? What the numbers lookin like on this Jazz series? Nobody watching that shyt

Lebron did the same thing when he went to miami

Not durants fault the nba is shyt. This is what happens when you have too many teams and not enough superstar talent.

 

[Malta]

@Malta what happens this off-season with KD and Steph?

They both resign, Steph gets a supermax 5 years $200 million, KD probably takes less than a max to give them some room, but the most he can sign for is 4 years.


It's what happens in 2 years that is when it'll get interesting, Klay Thompson will be a FA season after next.

 

[MikelArteta]

Yeah man, shyt is something like Clippers can offer him a 5 year $205-210 million deal, everyone else can offer him 4 years $130 million or so.

teams gonna be crying years from now with deals like that

the way the nhl and nfl are structured it forced so many guys in their 30s out the game cuz guys on rookie contracts make peanuts in both leagues and having a 22 year old making 700k is better than a dude making 5 mill for doing the same thing

explain

The Designated Player Exception permits a team to sign a player on their second contract to a maximum deal above the typical rate for their service time, but with a couple caveats. The player must earn an All-NBA selection the previous season, and the player has to have been drafted by his team or acquired by trade while on his rookie contract. The arrangement is part of the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement.

An All-NBA selection would make George eligible for a contract extension worth upward of $200 million, which is around $70 million more than he otherwise could receive, with the exact numbers depending on the NBA salary cap. Designated Player Extensions are worth up to 35% of the cap, which is reportedly set to jump to around $101 million next season from this year’s $94.1 million mark. Whether or not the voters place George on an All-NBA team could cost him the opportunity for an even greater payday.

George was playing pretty until the end of the season when he started balling and dropping hints that he should be All-nba, it was obvious that his agent told him he would lose out on some cash if he didn't kick it up a notch.


This is also why DeMarcus Cousins was basically saying he was gonna re-sign with the Kings

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Everyone sees it.

"b-b-but projecting! "

:hhhtwo:

Clearly your constant whining, endless Trump comparisons and other Warriors-hatred rhetoric has contaminated the TheColi's water supply. That's why there's so much shytty posting on this board. Thank God we've only got to put up with it for another month.

 

[NO-BadAzz]

This has been sad

The only series worth watching is Celtics and Wiz, just to see the fukkery and get the old feeling on how a playoff series should be smh

It's sad when Kelly Obrue had to remind us how a series should be smh

thats crazy

Kobe before and after the achilles injury, rose before and after his knee injuries, I'd be weary as hell tying up 35% of the cap in one player if his name aint lebron

Writing more Coli fan fiction?

 

[Stick Up Kid]

meanwhile NHL playoffs got a piff game every night. Basketball is dead

Are you a cac, be honest

Nah, I wouldn't be worried, usually the 2nd contract for guys is right around 26.


A 5 year deal to a 26-27 year old will carry them through their prime and peak.

 

[bl2k8]

This is the entertainment industry retard.

lol @ "his best shot at a ring" he was one win away last year from going to the finals again and instead of competing he runs to the team that beat him. Would the man in your smilies have done that? Would your hero have done that? You know the answer.

Kobe built different then any player in NBA history so probably not.
Y'all so damn stuck on last year, yeah they was 1 win away but they choked collectively. Last year series literally has nothing to do with what may have happened this year if OKC even managed to get that far. Everyone keeps acting like it was a forgone conclusion that OKC would get right back to the WCF and also beat GS when none of that was guaranteed. KD too old to be taking chances on a maybe next year, breh had to go get it now.

You lying to yourself if you think players choose teams based on providing entertainment to fans . Them dudes care about two things when changing teams winning or money or a mixture a both. They don't give a fukk about keeping the competitive balance of their confrence. Stop lying to yourself breh
