I was thinking more like $150m for Franz and $100m for Suggs over 5 years.thelead wrote:The-Stallion70 wrote:thelead wrote:all-defense while shooting 40% from deep on high value will get you PAID in the NBA. Not sure about max but he's going to get a large contract. I don't think he's earned a max even though I think he is the heart of the team but that's not how young players get contracts. There's usually a lot of 'pontential' baked into rookie extensions.
Way to ignore the question buddy the man said he will get paid the same as Franz, how do you explain that?
You cannot put together an argument that equates his value to Franz. His injury history and inconsistent performance over his three years does not get you paid like an extremely consistent player who scores in higher volume and stays healthy.
I didn't dodge... I gave you 4 reasons: equally young, better defender, better shooter, heart of the team. I'm not arguing whether he should or shouldn't get as much as Franz. Just giving the possible justifications. To be clear, I'll be shocked if he gets the same deal as Franz. Really shocked. I don't know what a rookie max is these days but my guess is that the numbers will likely be something like:
Paolo: 5/275 (whatever full max is)
Franz: 5/200-225
Suggs: 5/150-175
NBA contracts are nuts and they're only getting bigger... wonder for how much longer though. It doesn't seem sustainable.
