These contracts are ridiculous

Why would he do that though? Harrison friggin' Barnes is a max money guy apparently, and I think JVs already a better player. JV might be a nice dude, and he might love Toronto, but he's not going to take a 30% paycut to play here either. I don't blame him either.

You are continuing to look bad with your failure to properly analyze this facts and situation dude.

JV didn't have to sign last year. Nothing was forced on him.

He would have gotten 100+ million on the open market this year, if you see what lesser bigs got in comparison.

But he didn't.

He signed a flat offer, with only 1 million dollar raises from the initial 14 million starting salary for this upcoming season. He's locked in until the '20-'21 season.

WHY ELSE WOULD HE ALREADY TAKE A POTENTIAL 20-30% PAYCUT TO PLAY HERE ON LIKELY THE MOST TEAM FRIENDLY CONTRACT FOR A PLAYER OF HIS CALIBER AND CEILING?

Uh .. because that was his max offer when signed and he could either sign for 5 years 80 million or risk everything including a career ending injury where he gets zero and sign this year. It has nothing to do with anything but security and risk tolerance. And that's why it also has a player option in it.

I need to get in touch with Biyombo/Maker's contacts, shave a few years off my age, and enter the NBA draft. At this rate, the folks who mop the floor might be making 7 figures.

officially the pacers interior defence has taken a step back; they will be worse than this past season, they don't have hill at guard or mahinmi at center..

As in, preferring financial security because they are injury prone?

Here is a totally interesting unrelated random fact.... aside from one singular season where he only played 26 games, Curry has appeared in 78 of 82 games over the remaining 6 of his 7 career seasons. Including 2 straight seasons of 78 of 82 games each, when he was eligible for a contract extension, which he signed for less than what he was worth at the time, considering he was averaging 23/7/4/1 and 46% from 3 over the course of 2 seasons since his only season where he lost significant time due to injury.

A bunch of you guys seem to have either selective or distorted memories regarding facts, and it only makes it easier to systematically deconstruct them considering they are not based on factual evidence to the contrary.

What the **** do u know bout green eggs and HAAAAMMM?!?!?!

Are the Wizards one of the worst run teams in history or what?

He himself said money wasn't the top priority and that he wants to stay with Raptors, it's his home. He most definitely knew what kind of money he can sign if he waits another year.

I was half expecting this thread to have posters saying it was a power move and the Raptors were screwed. For once the Raps board reacted appropriately to something :lol:

It honestly baffles me how many GMs can't get this straight, just because the cap went up. Rookie salaries aren't doubling, minimum salaries aren't doubling, so why would you give double the money for a glue guy?

You know, this feels like the kind of thread that gets bumped and ridiculed and then he's the x-factor of the game for like the 1st time since he signed the contract. So all I'll say is "Pay that man his money".

He's still better than Tristan Thompson at least.

It was 100% the cap bump that allowed these contracts to flourish for that one summer.

From 2004-2015 the cap went from 45 million to 70 milion.

Summer of 2016 the cap went from 70 to 95 million at once.

The vacuum of cap space was filled by every FA, good and bad, in a matter of weeks.

Seriously, and even the Raptors got bit with Carroll. Ugh.

The rule of thumb should be average salary or MLE. Only pay above that amount if a guy is CLEARLY a starter or young with potential.
