Giannis shooting is light years better than Ben Simmons. Comparing the two is extremely disrespectful.

I think the issue is that Giannis thinks he can, while Simmons has just flat out said he hasnt and aint working on it
 
Don’t sleep on the David Griffin/ Lebron rapport. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s getting under the table klutch money. Lakers can package the 4th, Kuzma and BI for AD. Neither side will say no. AD comes to the Lakers and Kyrie will mosey over too. And just like that Lebron gets another shot at a ring :smh:

NO would be crazy fun to watch too
If this even comes to fruition, not only will the league block it, David will get fired. The pels had a better package last year and #4 in this years draft is not really anything at this point.
 
First off that was never the argument. You said where is he gonna get 30 mil outside of the NBA. My whole point was him staying with the Warriors makes that alot easier to reach because he and everyone else on the team benefits from the teams success.

tekthemaestro tekthemaestro my bad he got there 1x without the help of other superstars then he dipped for Miami but still held it down in his 2nd go round.

No that is not what I said, that's why I mentioned staying or leaving.

He's not making an additional 30Ms off the court from what he's getting now by staying in GS or by leaving.

Those 30Ms he lost by not being Supermax eligible aren't going to be made up off the court period.

Thay **** is important to a guy whose only made 87Ms and his pushing 30.
 


oh you HATE to see this

My comprehension is fine, I think it is you who needs to go back and reread your post.

Matter fatc, how many times did you go back and reread your post lol. Im pretty sure thats why so many others chimed in saying the same thing I did.

The only reason he has the Anta deal and the other deal is as a result of winning. If he makes supermax elsewhere he has to risk losing that exposure to the casual fan who is willing to buy jerseys pay top dollars for games and other events. Playing Christmas day means something to the player especially if you are doing it every day. You gotta see the big picture.

Also you act like he is hurting for cash. His mom shops for him and his Dad had him setup on an allowance similar to what Shaq had early in his career.

The money will come if you are winning

Also why would you leave a system you know and thrive in to get paid and be asked to do things that play to your strengths?

Its real easy to go from a good situation to a bad one in a hurry.

Klay is not your typical hooper playing to feed his fam, this man just loves the game and he has his Dad who has been there done that.

Sidenote, the media is way too bored with the Toronto Bucks series, already trying to build talking points in build up to FA. Im not sure what KD is supposed to say there lol he corrected a reporter for removing him from the team with there and not our and the snake in waiting followed up with a KD and the warriors question lol.

Sad part is the guy who asked that question must've thought "Man Im smart to bring this up here". Sometimes the media forgets these are players not politicians

Players make pennies on each Jersey sold, no player in NBA history has ever been paid 30 million off of Jersey sales.

Klay is getting Anta money because of the Chinese population in the Bay, same way TMAC and Harden get money in China from Yao being from China and none of them ever won anything.

Those 30Ms hurt and ain't being made up off the court no matter how many championships he wins.
 
Looks like Boogie is back for Game 1.

Remarkable considering the initial diagnosis

Month out without being able to condition is gonna be tough to come out after being out.

I forgot McCaw is on the Raptors

SneakerProSr. SneakerProSr. really? I say he has the opportunity to attract additional endorsements because of winning and you bring up jersey sales? Really are you that ignorant to how endorsement deals are made and who is attracted to who? You said he cant make 30 mil outside the NBA then it became on top of what he already has now its he cant make 30 mil from jersey sales. Take a deep breath read the arguments made and continue stop changing the discussion to fit your narrative (that in your mind only your mind is right).

You bring up TMac and HArden? Last I checked both were signed to Adidas (Tmac in the past Harden now) not a Chinese brand so what are you saying? Actually dont just let it go clearly you got the blinders on and want to be right so bad lol its sad.
 
Boogie coming back for the Finals does more for him personally than for the Warriors chances of winning the title.
