Hopefully some of this is incentive based.

 

[illmatic99]

there goes the MLE

 

[Chris Craig]

Fucking ridiculous

 

[illmatic99]

Told y'all, that 80 mil number thrown around yesterday was not realistic.

The Nurk number will be 70+ too.

I'm fine with this. This was market rate considering his RFA status.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Craig -- could you explain -- are you unhappy cause he signed for SO much or just like watching athletes get payed so much --- what ??

100 mill is not realistic. That's overpay.

 

[TBpup]

Too much. We are right back to where we were with Dame/CJ. Expensive, short, non-defensive guards making the most amount of money on the team.
And he won't be playing in the role where he had a hot stretch. When will they learn. Cronin pulls that straight out of the Olshey playbook.

Both.

It takes away our MLE and it's overpay.

Also, this league is getting ridiculous.

 

[Freshtown]

Bidding against ourselves.

A Portland tradition.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Hahahahaahhaahahhahahaahahhaahahahhahahahahahaahhaha

 

[illmatic99]

100 mill is not realistic. That's overpay.

A starting salary of ~22 mil puts him around 55-60th in the league. He'll perform to that level next season

 

[Kell]

Let the rest of the dust settle

CJ was at 33 mil. Ant will be at 22

A Portland tradition.

but we weren't bidding against ourselves. you don't think Detroit, OKC, or San Antonio would have offered this?

 

[MickZagger]

Not cool.

Pretty dumb actually.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Let's wait to see how this contract breaks down before ripping it to shreds

 

[TBpup]

CJ was at 33 mil. Ant will be at 22

We are all aware of the difference in age and money. The point still stands.

 

[MadeFromDust]

A lot of quick reactions to this I'm seeing around the league think this is a pretty good deal.

 

[DDolla]

Well Brunson got 110 lol

 

[illmatic99]

We are all aware of the difference in age and money. The point still stands.

if you acknowledge the difference, then your point is irrelevant, no?

 

[James lamphear]

Totally over paid for player that just show he is good shooter.

 

[noknobs]

Does this mean we can't trade him for Durant?

Reading in context would help. Too much money (2 highest paid players) for 2 combined shorter guards who don't play defense. If that isn't similar to Dame/CJ, further explanations probably won't help.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Its inflation.

 

[Bingo Bango]

Ridiculous. Portland either overestimates the worth of their players, or is deathly afraid of losing them. Either way, they always overpay.

but it's not the same. there's an 11 mil difference and 8 yr difference.

 

[Propagandist]

Oh my. This doesn't sit well. I think I was expecting between 18-20m. Now I'm actually worried about what they offer Nurk...

Reality means we can't trade for Durant.
