    So Westbrook gets a pass for not playing D but Dame doesn't? :dunno:

    I provided more information, which is why mine posted 2 seconds later. Not surprising that you take pride in your faster inferior response. I hear faster and inferior describes you elsewhere as well...

    46.7 million. Crazy.

    Salaries in 2021-22 already guaranteed:

    Russ- 46.7 mil
    Curry- 45.8 mil
    Harden- 43.8 mil
    Wall- 43.8 mil
    Blake- 38.96 mil (PO)
    Jrue Holiday (LOL)- 27 mil (PO)

    Dame caps out at 31.6 mil the season prior and CJ at 29.3 mil in 20-21.

    So, Mr. George, how'd you like to sign a new deal with us? We were thinking something around $20M a year to start. Gotta manage the cap, right? What's that? When is the next flight to LA?

    20 years ago, the entire salary cap was lower than what Russ and Curry will make in 2022.

    I don't like his game and he is a stat stuffer. But he's a damned good stat stuffer. That and the fact that he gave The HCP grief at a fast food joint make him a little more acceptable to me. Not $40M per worth, but better.

    SHit, sir you have NEVER seen me complain about Dame's defensive game, ever. I have played the game and was raised in it's culture. I know when you have a player with his skills, it's on his teammates to cover for whatever "weaknesses" he may have. Now if he isn't doing it on the offensive end that another story.
    When guys like Ben Wallace and Rodman are out there handling their business on the defensive end and shitting the bed on offense, NOBODY complains, it's just accepted. Then why can't a player who is unstoppable with the ball in their hands get the same treatment. Good question huh?

    Russ is petty enough to do this.

    Like buying 1 million dollars of Durant endorsed apparel and running it through a wood chipper?

    Totally forgot about that! Newbies missed a great story. Or would they consider it bragging about my interaction with Brodie?

    Right now Lakers fans are wandering the streets aimlessly in a foggy daze stuttering and mumbling gibberish...

    They'll have to settle on LeBron and PG13

    First day of training camp: Get PRP injections.
    Fourth day of training camp: Sign $205m contract extension.

    I have never heard of a player getting PRP injections that became better with time. Hope it works for them.

    It's all about effort. If you shoot all the time and don't give an effort on D... :dunno:

    At least Dame gives an effort.

    If PG and Melo opt out next summer, OKC will still have 93 mil guaranteed. Sign back PG and they're already above the lux tax threshold, without Melo.

    If Melo opts in next summer, then they're looking at 121 mil guaranteed and no PG.

    This is a good summer for OKC, but next summer might be a bloodbath.
