Kinda hard to get better when you’re paying a flawed player so much money a year

So 60m a year for older guard who’s been hurt . Good for him loyalty did pay off. Pretty much max out their cap doesn’t it ?

This vs what Harden just did?

For the first time ever, I’m siding with Harden over Dame.

What a ridiculous overpay and completely unnecessary for a player of his caliber. You basically locked the Blazers into a first and second round exit at best. The man has never won a single conference finals game and you just paid him until retirement. Sad part is the Blazers will struggle to reach the playin that entire deal.

That’s insane. So how many more years until someone makes 100M in a year?

2 completely different situations. Harden is past his prime dame is in it.

We know inflation is bad but not this bad.
60M for a prime LeBron that carry 4 average NBA players to the Finals, yes...

Are Blazers fans happy or mad about this?

Don't feel bad that he'll never win a ring in Portland one bit. Dudes a Robin making Batman money and his team will never seriously compete with him making that much. Not saying he shouldn't have taken the deal, but I don't want to hear anymore whining about how the Blazers failed him.

He turns 32 in a couple days and this deal takes him to like 2027. He'll turn 37 shortly after this contract ends.

These numbers are almost hard to stomach, makes me sick honestly. NBA Front Offices are just ****** in the head aren’t they?
