    Fucking ridiculous deal for Conley. Dude is not even a top tier pg IMO(Definitely not top 5, maybe top 10). I floated the idea of him coming off the bench for a team with a solid PG, no way that would ever happen seeing how Memphis views him so highly. Worst deal of the offseason and nobody is going to be able to top it. Memphis just solidified themselves as being screwed for the next couple of seasons.

    Ish Smith must be feeling like a fool right now.

    I'm actually shocked anyone would pay Conley this much...

    Does Conley's deal have a player option?

    Yes, he now has the option to buy Graceland and turn it into his own private strip club.

    I didn't think I'd say Dame was underpaid one day into his new contract but damn.

    LeBron's contract next year is going to be comical

    The NBA made a mistake, they should've brought along the cap slowly (say 7-10mil per season) instead of doing what they did this year and are gonna do next year. Stretch the tv deal money out would've made the market a more reasonable place.

    Lillards will become the highest paid again when he reaches all of his bonus perks while Conley doesnt.
