so yer tellin me... we coulda given up a boatload of assets - and THEN handed out that contract? lol! i dont think that would look like a good move a year or two down the road imo...
Or 'Muricans decide to invest in the US instead of pouring money to English Premiere League to speculate. Denver owner has a team (Arsenal), ManU was owned by Glazers around 20 years, Chelsea owned by an American, Jacksonville guy owns Fulham, Liverpool is owned by Americans, Aston Villa,... It is a nightmare to see Newcastle and now ManU to be owned by Saudis but I do not think they are worser than Glazers/Applebaums/Shahid Khan/Stan Kroenke,...
Even the half too much. If Brown and Tatum get 70% pay-roll, Boston should find another 13 players to play for 30% of the cap. So, an average Non-Brown&Tatum Celtics player will play for 2.3% of the cap. It means that either the other 13 will financially support Brown&Tatum or lots of trash players will be employed by Boston. If cap is around 120-135 M, it means that average player will get $3M or less. We are talking about non-rookie contracts where Daniel Theis paid more than $8M there, Dillon is paid around $21M by Rockets. Boston has a problem.A very big one.
They have put all their eggs into Porzingis, Tatum and Brown to win a championship. I don't think they're good enough to pull it off. That's fine with me.
half would be 5/150, in a world where brooks is getting 21, brown should get at least 80/year, no? More realistically he should be getting 210/year
Another brilliant post….basically saying that Jaylen Brown isn’t that great a player. Dude, he’s a legit all-star.
He's a very good player. I'd agree he's probably an all-star. I'd put him around all-star reserve level; the bar to make the all-star reserve team is lower than All-NBA. That doesn't mean he's worth 40% of the cap.
I’ve been holding out hope that Brown might be the one star Houston could actually get, given the Ime connection, and that maybe he’d ask for a trade here next year. That said, now that I see his long predicted max deal written out, that’s a heck of a lot of zeros….
Pretty crazy how that Conley contract of 5yr/$153M was only 7 years ago. And now, the highest paid player is earning literally double that. Celtics were in a rough place, though. They're perennial Finals contenders and the Tatum-Brown duo has been, statistically, like the most successful playoffs duo in history when talking W-L record. If you let Brown walk, they obviously won't reach the same heights again and even worse, Tatum might become disgruntled and end up leaving too. If you trade Brown for shiny things, who knows if they'll reach the same heights again? It's a massive financial bullet the Celtics absolutely had to take.
Yeah I think Brown rates somewhere in the 20-25 range among players in the nba. An area where all star is essentially a given and to get all nba need a bunch of injuries to occur to sneak in. He got that this last season.
My dad always told me the value of anything is what someone is willing to pay for it, but GD that’s a lot of money for a dude with only one arm to dribble with…
That's an absurd amount of money for Brown. Contracts like this (really good player, crazy overpay, in my opinion) serve the League up for the Saudi's. They have literally hundreds of billions to spend on sports. Let's hope that they decide the NBA is too "boring" and pass us by.
Don't think for a minute that some very big names won't jump at the chance to earn a couple hundred million a year...
Yeah, I saw that. It's lunacy, but I'm not sure what could be done about it. I think LeBron was joking, but who knows?
