    Brown met supermax criteria and nobody else that has is eligible for an extension right now.

    If Dame/Giannis/Jokic/etc hadn't signed extensions recently they could've got a similar huge deal.

    It's really 35% of the cap - the actual dollars could be higher or lower in a few years. Same as Dame's last two years, the actual dollar amount isn't finalized until those seasons. The agents just leak the biggest number that is possible if the cap goes up basically the most it can.

    Why? He will get an even bigger one next summer. These will go up every year as the cap is going up.

    Step 1 sign contract for max years out (6!) over $300 million
    Step 2 wait 12 months for trade restrictions to end
    Step 3 demand trade to a single team

    This has replaced free agency.

    If you get injured or fat or have any problems thats fine, you get the money.

    So it looks like the next two expansion teams will be KD owned Sonics and Lebron owned Vegas franchise.

    This needs addressed. I mentioned tbis before. If a player who signed a supermax requested and is eventually traded, their salary is adjusted/lowered. If traded by team's choise w/o the player requesting, his contract remains intact.

    Much like if you were fired you get severance pay, but if you quit you don't

    I think the team that trades for the supermax demanding out be dealt punishment as well: Said player cannot play in post-season until the season after the trade. This would stop guys demanding out win an "easy" ring and teams like MIA from lowballing.

    It's timing. Blame it on a quirk of the CBA. Obviously, JB isn't the most talented player in the NBA. At one point back in the 90s Kenyon Martin signed the biggest deal ever.

    Brown is good but he not worth that much money that's my opinion. When the top gets this much it's going hurt the mid tier players to get a decent contract.
