    Nobody in the history of sports deserves a contract that big, especially for a guy not even in the top ten in the league. Fucking ridiculous and nauseating.

    Don't look up what CEOs are making across the country. You'll lose your lunch and dinner.

    No doubt haha. Just have always felt it was ridiculous how much athletes make. Know that sounds hypocritical to the point that I as a fan I like to watch said athletes in their sport haha, but still.

    They're the product. Frankly -- when compared to ownership -- I think they deserve more of the pie than they're getting...

    Ain't that the truth. Biggest profits across the board. CEO's play sports too. It's called price gouging.

    I'd rather them get the money than the fat cats who don't do shit and just collect the interest sitting in their accounts as they dodge taxes.

    Players are actually working for it.

    At least athletes, musicians, and actors entertain us. I can't think of too many CEO's doing a damn thing to make our lives better. You don't have to watch sports. You do have to use transportation, get medicine, buy food, and pay for housing.

    Did you see old man Brown, Owner of the Bengals, talking about players like their farm animals.

    It’s interesting because this might be part of the reason for the parity era. Its so hard to get 3 stars. It will be interesting to see how Phoenix does next year as they are one of the few teams with three legit star level players.

    "So what do you do?"

    "I'm a model on Instagram. What about you?"

    "I'm a soldier on Call of Duty."

    Listening to the local talker here today. Suns were the subject and eventually Ayton. They were discussing how Ayton was besties with Bridges and Cam Johnson and now he feels like he is alone and on an island here now. They were the young guys, now he doesn't have that. The talk has been the Suns want to trade him, but want that contract broken up into a couple useful pieces. Besides Nurk, I don't know what else could be moved to make the money add up. Maybe if part of a Dame trade.

    Clearly, Ayton needs to be sent to Brooklyn to reunite with his buddies.

    Man, it's really hard to salary-balance a 4-team Dame->MIA, Ayton->BRK deal, let alone get the asset value even close.

    I just don't know if those are valuable FRPs. I think the team needs them before 2027-2030. That is just not acceptable imho. 4 years to see a reward from the trade isnt good.

    Pretty good effort, I’d say. It would come down to how the individual clubs rate the big men in this trade scenario.

    Unfortunately the Nets would not take Ayton in trade prior to him signing the Pacers offer sheet last off season. But at that time the Suns were unwilling to include Bridges in the deal. Once the new owner took over he coughed up Bridges for Durant, but could not include Ayton because he could not be traded for a year. Now, who knows. Maybe they would take him now.

    The former can and do bag NBA players (Jordan Poole eg), the latter have empty Cheetos bags.

    Impressive work. I actually love those FRP’s as Durant will have moved on or be in decline. I also love getting Claxton and taking a flier on Simmons. Not sure about Martin would rather get a pick but we could possibly trade him onward for one.
