Think it's fine since he's a top player and you need to lock him up. My Knicks paying THjr on the other hand... :/

[Cheebo]

I feel bad for the fans.

Half the league is tanking for draft picks
Officiating is horrible and rigged.
End of games become a free throw timeout contest.

The global/Chinese audience must love watching Golden State or LeBron highlights, but the grind of watching a full season or paying for season tickets for a non-playoff team is crazy to me.

The game isn't rigged. And it's more popular than ever. Regular season tv numbers are up over the last few years.

The NBA is at an all time high in popularity, both domestically and worldwide. Period.

 

[Lebron]

We ain't got anything else going for us so I can't be mad at them for giving him the farm

Ive seen this guy a few times, nothing makes me believe he deserves this kind of money. Actually makes me believe I had a chance at the nba before I had my accident.

 

[qcf x2]

Russell Westbrook must be very happy.

There's a guy on Gaf who can outshoot Curry at the YMCA.

 

[G-Unit]

In my defense I didn't mean I could be a nba star, but yeah i may have had a shot. Oh well.

 

[Chamber]

So 57 million a year for the last four it reads.

It's $42m per for the last 4. He signed an extension to his extension so they're using funny language to make headlines.

 

[Falchion]

And in a state with no income tax. Damn Harden!

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Silver better add rules to the garbage manner of which Harden earns 5-7 FTA per game.

 

[The Chosen One]

Wow...

So adjusting for inflation and actual talent, Michael Jordan would get a billion dollar contract in today's NBA?

Mike could buy his own Las Vegas casino with that kind of money

No player salaries are capped so he would get around the same amount as Harden.

Yes please!

 

[knicks]

Westbrook's extension will probably be even bigger.

 

[Lupercal]

Guaranteed though, he could get injured and and still get paid millions.

Guy also signed a $200 million 13-year fully guaranteed (I believe) contract with Adidas maybe two years ago? And he's already made $90 million (He's 27).

It's going to be really interesting to see how much money a one and done college player who turns out to be amazing can make throughout his career, assuming they're able to maintain quality play.

 

[Albino_Yeti]

Hardin could buy two GTX Titans with that kind of money!

Or a cool car.
