see, this is what i can't get behind. he's having a great postseason. we can't just ignore the past few years of data because of this.



again, i'm the opposite--i'm looking at guys who just disappointed but who have been very good overall. maybe you can catch someone being silly. as someone else mentioned, this is how you end up with gabe.

when i use this logic to explain why lebron should take one dollar over the mle, i get attacked from all sides, lol. why is it different? because lebron's nearly a billionaire and has been able to benefit from years of max contracts, whereas reaves hasn't gotten the HUGE (by nba standards) payday yet, nor would anyone expect that he'll get another one. of course his agent is pushing for the most money possible.

he said that. his agent is saying max is fair. reaves isn't doing the negotiating, and i HIGHLY doubt he's the guy leaking this stuff to the press. i actually still think reaves will be here on something less than the max, tbh. but if he's here on a max, it is what it is. that probably is his fair market value tbh, and the situation with him (4-5 years left of his prime) and lebron (42 years old) are just night and day for me.

 

brunson's also DEFINITELY getting paid under the table, ballmer style.

hopefully, we can get reaves to get on board with something closer to brunson's figure (with the same wink/wink hot dog stand shenanigans).

 

Sabonis, Reaves, and Luka defensively? Yikes.

Brett Sigel reported we were in talks with Yves Missi. Also, who's the dude on Atlanta? There's a specific skillet they're looking for, and I hope they can land it. Ayton outperformed his salary, but he's a bum as a starter. No freaking motor. Too inconsistent. Backup? He's fine.

 

You seem super confident in that statement, so now I’m curious why. I thought he put together his college crew and decided to be happy rather than greedy.

 

NY media market I doubt they did anything as blatant and stupid as Ballmer but considering the advertising oppurtunities there I do think NY just has local advertising money and the oppurtunity for hood/wink type of deals. I MSG advertisers were given brunson's number and probably already told what to offer in exchange for access to Knicks

 

Thanks Brett. Isn’t that like tampering prior to hunting season? Oh right forgot the wink wink to all that.

 

well, they already lost a second rounder for the basically year-long tampering they did to get him in the first place, including hiring his dad. if they were that obvious in pursuit, i'm sure they've found ways to continue the general activity.

 

They did everything to land him. They don’t care.
