@FarEastLBC@katsuxbt@byecradle Exactly. These nba guys earn so much thus their taxes is a lot.. but everyone pay taxes too. And they already the top 1% population salary wise in the world. All these whining just sound hollow and entitled to me.
@wvan10@LukaToBron@LakersLead U would think that he might have taken less than what Pistons offered then.. considering all that talk about his "love" for the franchise and crap. In the end, its still higher than what Pistons offered.
@BeLiKeDime@PolymarketHoops@SeanDeveney In very limited minutes, Lebon is still a top 10 player in the league. Obviously, he cant keep pace with the young guys anymore over a 48min game but he can still contribute in key moments of a game to decide the outcome of it.
@borrfdad@LittleNJDevil@drxwwXX@blaze_ward@ewik548@ShamzCharnia@ShamsCharania Also Wemby understood that 51m (basically ~10m less per year & he will likely drop 5th year player option so essentially just ~40m) does absolutely nothing for him. He's already set for life but the extra cap space could do wonders for him to get another key piece moving forward
@borrfdad@blaze_ward@ewik548@ShamzCharnia@ShamsCharania Also, there is a huge difference in Brunson cos he was not considered at such a level as Wemby when he inked his contract so there is reasoning in him taking a paycut while Wemby can literally ask w/e he wants and Spurs will say, "tell us when" and he decides to take less himself
@notbonke@BryceLottos@ShamsCharania Nah its a real paycut cos Spurs offer him the 30% too and let him decide what he wants. So basically, he decides he wanna take 51m less.
@JayBurns673371@DetroitSportsHQ@ShamsCharania Nah its still a real discount.. cos if he wants 30% of the cap, he sure as hell will get it too. This will allow them to be more competitive and offer more for a strong role player if needed.
@JakeLFischer@TheSteinLine This is a smart move by Wemby if its real.. cos an extra 20-30m for his career earnings aint gonna do anything. He is totally set for life regardless but taking less could mean more rings which is way more important.
@NBAWAY0FFS I can say for sure he aint taking that kind of money to go back to a team that has Harden earning close to a max. His ego wont allow it, and rightfully so.
@Smegtron@sixringsofsteeI Celtics really giving the 76ers a "get out of jail free" pass after 76ers stupidly traded for him from the Clippers and then also gift-wrapped a top 10 player (and quite possibly top 3 two-way player in the league) in the process. U cant make this shit up.
