There's actually a worse field.

Boise's is bad.

This one is an abomination.

 

[bksballer89]

He's a very good, possibly great player.

But he hasn't accomplished anywhere near enough to be calling $22.5 million per year an insult.

Exactly. Make an AS team or something.

I'm ok with wanting more money. Cool but call it an insult is a bit much.

Go with the Jaylen Brown approach.

Bet on yourself and hope you get more money in the summer.

100% agree. I'm all for these guys getting every penny they can. But calling $22.5 million a year an insult when you haven't been an all star or even been an 8th seed in the playoffs, isn't a good look.

And the thing is, he's probably worth more. But an insult? lol

 

[Black Adam]

LMAO i thought they offered much less.

yyyyup...

unhappy man right there...

He's JJ Reddick, Eric Gordon, not Beal, Klay, Harden.

Love Buddy.

But, he's tripping.

He is a shooter, a damn good one.

But, nothing else and he's already 26.

So, he doesn't have as much upside as Dudes like Giannis who you pay for what you hope they will be.

His only saving grace is the weak free agent market.

Definitely agree with Pop as #1.

I'm not sure Spo should be as high as #2, but the Heat manage to be competitive every year despite a mostly average roster and a lot of injuries. So you could make a case.

Stevens seems to have fallen off quite a bit. Weren't some folks saying he had surpassed Pop going into last season?

ehhh i think both signs executed the extension with the assumption that Beal would be in Washington for the foreseeable future.

If they stink up the joint this year, and they will, and someone offers a haul while eating Wall's deal?

Shit, it might not even take a significant return.

Eating Wall's deal might be enough.

Teams might be more willing with the extra years on Brad's deal.

AD might average 35 and 12 this year lol. No joke

In 47 games played

Pop >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everybody else.


Agree on Stevens.

Combination of Kyrie's petulance and the appearance of force feeding Hayward minutes he probably didn't deserve, has dulled his shine a little bit.

If the Celtics bounce back, he will be the Golden boy again.

Tough to meet expectations when people crown you the cream of the crop before you even play a game.

The Lakers, Clippers, Sixers would do well to remember that.

Bloody fucking hell .

If anyone was dumb enough to say last season Stevens has surpassed Pop they need to be slapped.

I'd be fine with that contract if he signs it, but won't be surprised if Bogi believes he can get more and waits for the offseason.

Gotta believe he can get more, unless he really tanks it this year.

 

[trojanfan12]

This is interesting.

Cowherd just announced his prediction for the Western Conference Standings going into the playoffs:

1. Nuggets
2. Jazz
3. Clips
4. Warriors
5. Lakers
6. Blazers
7. Spurs
8. Mavs

Anyone notice the glaring omission?

Maybe he wants more BECAUSE it's the Kings?

Not surprising. He hates Westbrook, lol.
