I’m at peace with the Nuggets trade because it seems like a net asset gain and I wasn’t super high on anyone left but it’s always lame to not have a first round pick rookie to look forward to
Like yeah Herro isn’t the best and there might not be more than a quality rotation player among the other 3 but you get two unprotected picks 5 and 7 years out from an aging team and committing to a full rebuild is always better than being stuck in no man’s land
I actually like the Giannis trade more for the Bucks, it signals a clear commitment to a rebuilding timeline and they got a fair amount of assets. I’m also not sold on the Heat’s backcourt creation after this move but the defense will be nasty
Not feeling as though you’re set up financially despite having a large NBA contract because you keep getting fined is quite possibly a Draymond-only problem lmao
Draymond Green blasts $100,000 NBA fines: “This job ain't set up for us to be wealthy”
“The amount of money we get fined for the things that we do, that shit don't happen in Corporate America”
“You get fined $50,000 because you say something somebody don't like. 50 grand, that's real money. 100 grand. ‘Oh, he only got fined 100 grand.’ The fines to me don't make sense”
“As hard as we work to accumulate wealth, coming from situations that most people never make it out. Then you get fined the way we get fined. It's actually not set up for us to be wealthy after we're done playing”
"The way we're taxed, the way we're fined, this job ain't never been set up for us to be wealthy after we're done playing”
