LMAO to be fair Charles has repeatedly said on record how he'd love to assault Skip Bayless so i'm not surprised at his opinion

Draymond Green better than Charles Barkley? That's quite a bit of a stretch there.
Dray isn't close to the offensive player Barkley was, but Dray is a better rebounder, passer and defender. Barkley was able to get his own shot when needed and could put a team on his back. Not sure if Dray could do the same.
I guess, what you have to ask yourself is what's more important you? I think having someone like Draymond on your team brings you a player with more intangbles, who will have an immediate impact on the team without leaving a large offensive footprint on that side of the ball. Works especially well if you already have 1-2 guys who can score at will.
But if you're in need of offensive output, then Barkley would be your guy. Dray def is more valuable in today's NBA for sure. Much more a dynamic player than Barkjley ever was. Still wouldn't say one is better than the other.

Nah Chuck was definitely the better rebounder. Playmaking might even be a push.

I always believed Chuck's rebounding "prowess" was exaggerated because of his size. People couldn't get over how a 6'4" guy was out rebounding guys 5-6 inches taller than him. But he wasn't a slouch on the boards. It's just peple make him out to be Wilt Chamberlain rebounding or something
The playmaking I'm def giving it to Draymond.

i'm as competitive as anybody i know or know of.
with that said
the ultimate game is life.
no way on earth I'm leaving 200 milly on the table for a ring. You know how many rings 200 buys?
and then if you invest it right? fam.
take the money. take care of your fam, maybe have another little one. you win life. there.

Close to it, yes.
I have a feeling the series will go 6.
Joe Johnson and Gobert will give the Warriors some matchup issues. The Jazz actually matchup well against the Warriors. Utah needs to pound them inside though, if they want to make this a series.

Yeah he was a double digit rebounder every year but his rookie season. He was legit on the glass

I disagree.
If i'm a player like Chris Paul whose already made hundreds of millions of dollars throughout his career, i'd take a 40 mill paycut to play for a team that has a much higher chance of winning to cement my legacy.

Easy to say and think this way when you don't have to feel or hear the pressure everyday of your life. The social pressures these guys go through can push people to do things they don't even want to do.
Again, Barkely is speaking from hindsight and we all know that hindsight is 20/20.

QFT. Gotta start IDing dudes around here.
No where on planet earth is draymond green a better rebounder than a cat who's nickname was the round mound of rebound
That's not proven.
That paycheck, that contract is proven!
You take that huge paycut to HOPE to win a ring, then you don't win a ring.
And you might have a career ending injury. Then what?
"Should've took the money"

I don't think any NBA player is walking away from these super max deals. Not a single one

For a player like Chris Paul who already has enough money from past contracts and current endorsements, taking a paycut isn't THAT big of a deal.
Now if you're a player like David West and take a paycut then you're just ******ed.

While I agree on taking the money.
Taking care of his family is out the question.
They been taken care of for about 2-3 generations by now with CP3 kind of money.
Like the above post. David West is different. But CP3 is stupid dumb rich.
At this point, winning probably comes over the money give or take. But if it is like 50 million difference. Got to stay on that one.
