The 2023-2024 NBA Season

Decent signing bonus and that's about it, correct? Thinking even the top bonuses are "only" 10 mil at most.

And, sure, that's a lot.....but not close to what a top NFL guy will get.

I believe so.

Don’t follow baseball closely enough to know what a top signing bonus is today.

But those contracts are cost controlled for so long it even takes a few years to start getting paid after they make the majors.

Top guys are up to 9m now

And then you make like 775k your first 3 years before arbitration

doncic on pace for a 40 20 20 game lol

Stupid fucking shit from a stupid fucking league.

But no one will really care and nothing will really happen and it's a shame.

TJD just posterized Wembanyama

Warriors lose ugly at home to the Spurs without Wemby, beat them on the road with him. That's the NBA

Denver better pull their heads out of the assses. Bring down 17 points at half to a team with almost half as many wins as you is unacceptable, especially at home.

half as many wins and half their team injured.

Well that was ugly. But a win’s a win at the end of the day.

Toronto needed that L if they wanted to keep their pick

 

[wildturkey]

Well Bilas has now been banned from NBA coverage. The media can't be having that

Thank you Jay Bilas!

Been saying this for years.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is making an argument that completely flies in the face of all logic.

In EVERY PROFESSION people learn over time and get better than prior generations were.

The entire logic is built off a strange obsession with Jordan.

Every time we bring up hand check we forget that players can be defended with a zone. You think someone hand checking prime Russ would be more effective than throwing multiple defenders at him at different angles and levels?

The players are substantially better shooters than ever and it isn't even close.

 

[shopson67]

Yea

That’s why

Just the end result. He retired anyway.

Yeah, saw that. Sucks for him. Should’ve ran one last run with the Celtics

'20 is the old 12': Why no lead is safe in the NBA anymore

Teams are coming back from 20-point deficits more frequently than ever, and the league has taken notice.

Exactly.....I mean for their 1st 3 seasons in the majors I'm pretty sure the team pays them whatever they want for the most part (under the CBA, of course). I know the Tribe did this for 25 players in the last day or so. Like all at or slightly above the minimum. And this is for guys like a Bibee who was 2nd in ROTY voting.
