Agreed. The companies that will pay the most are the ones that want an image rebrand. Nike is already relevant. Underarmor's Curry contract comes to mind, Underarmor was a joke 10 years ago.

It’s an avenue to release my bitterness. My therapist says it’s good for me.


Get a new therapist. Hating on successful people does nothing for you personally.


That’s what I said! Unquestioned compliance in fandom is the way to go. Dissenting opinions just lead you further into darkness.

Phew, talk about confusing.

That’s a full on NB gear he’s got there.


Yeah, he's going to sign with New Balance. You don't rock full NB gear if you aren't. I think it'll be a good get for them.

Hmmmm....how long has his knee been acting up?


From December.

Also note that he tore his ACL wearing Nike...

true. whereas celebrating a fantastically wealthy stranger's new shoe deal is merely weird. not as weird as the yellow poison soda deal celebration, but i digress

I think you missed my point. Doesn’t matter if it’s Zach LaVine or Lady Gaga. Taking out frustration on random celebrity is not a good release.

I've only noticed him wearing New Balance since the All-Star game on. He's obviously trying these shoes out cause he's been wearing mostly Kobe's the whole year outside of wearing the Jordan XI's once.

That pic of him wearing nothing but NB tells me nothing..it was obviously a gift pack to entice him to sign with them.

Also, it doesn't matter what shoe you wear injuries are a part of the game. Rose-Adidas, Kawhi-New Balance, LaVine-Nike.

It’s so hard though. That first post of mine was such a euphoric rush. I could feel the evil spirits leaving me.

I’ll try and find other ways, but can’t make any promises.

Whatever brand he decide to sign with, congratulation. Zach is not the most perfect All-Star player, but he has worked really hard to get to where he is today. He doesn't take things for granted, genuinely loves his job. So he deserves any good reward coming his way at work.

I wonder how much more he's worth being in Chicago? I still think there is some cache for being a BULL

I dig it. If he secures the bag now, maybe he gives us a discount in the off-season. Seems like good timing for the bulls that he’d about to get paid.

Only problem is Klutch sports probably won’t allow him. Maybe if we have a move in place that can only be executed if he took a little less. That seems possible

He isn’t taking less. If you have seen his comments about free agency it is obvious. He still has some sore feelings from the last time he was a free agent, but he has those guys are not in charge anymore. An offer of anything less than the max will probably result in him signing somewhere else. AKME would be fools to even entertain the thought of a discount. It is not even worth discussing a discount because he isn’t giving one. To him a max contract means respect. Asking him to take a discount would be seen as seriously disrespectful. Name another 27 year all-star that wouldn’t get a max contract. You can’t. So don’t expect one from ours. Period.

He owes us nothing. He is just underpaid by about $15 to $20 million right now.

The guy only plays on one side of the ball. If he truly wants to win, he should give a discount.

I hope he sign with Jordan Brand, black/red Jordan sneakers are always fire. Don't sleep on New Balance tho, their basketball lineup aren't great but their casual sets are nice. Check out the 2002R protection pack.

Man, he should of went to Nike. I'm sure it was less than their competitors but Zach LaVine is a Nike athlete.

NB probably paid the most but I wouldn't of went in that direction, personally.

under the radar, but very nice shoes. I wouldn't buy Nikes or Adidas, but when he signs with NB I may get a pair.

Been wearing New Balance since the '90s. Great shoes for an old guy like me. Sure hope signing Zach doesn't mean the prices are going to get jacked up.
