The Deandre Ayton BUY OUT is WILD



The Deandre Ayton BUY OUT is WILD

What do y’all think about the Blazer deciding to buy out DeAndre Aiden? It’s funny cuz you know as a player you trying to b me out and I don’t got to do nothing for it.
Cool.
You want to give it all to me? You want to give it all to me? All right.
Even some of it.
Even son. I ain’t got to go to work, bro.
All right.
You know what? I just hit the home. Somebody will call.
Oh, somebody call.
Cuz now he’s worth what? 36. What he supposed to get?
36.
Yeah. Now imagine now adding someone who contract value is 36 and he now will take anything cuz he already gets whatever he want. He he already gets his main contract. So it’s like hey I got 1.5 for you. I got two. He all right let’s go. And you going to be starter.
Yeah.
But obviously probably
okay let’s go in the best position to get another deal after this one.
You’re making me a starter for $2 million. Now I can jump my contract back

  1. “Jump my contract back up(?)” 🤔 Don’t let these GMs lowball you for 2025-2026, because they’ll use that hypothetical $1.5-$2 Million as a max per year number on future deals.

    Instead, if they want to pay heavily on the back end of the deal, that’s fine as long as it’s still fully guaranteed. But definitely go for a 5 year $70-$80 Million Dollar Deal.

  2. Some of these dudes show and prove they never gave a dam about the game like a mj or kobe. And you wonder why most end up broke. Podcast and social media really feeding a lot of these dudes that ran through 100mill.

  3. Lakers get 2018 number 1 number 3 pick.
    Ooo lets go😂
    İmagine ın 2018 this happen😂
    Now 7 Year's later they are healthy they both have some issues with mindset.
    And they have LeBron to look and learn for 2 Year's.

  4. This show is the epitome of our community. Kenyon represent the half that cares, wants people to make something of themselves. While Nick and Gil represent the stereotypes. The pimp and the hustler. Truth be told we all keee kee and ha ha at this shit. But aint nun funny. Two sell outs who perpetuate stereo types and makes us look bad. Keep being you Kenyon. You the best of them all.

  5. Silver spoon Gil at it again with his no work ethic mentality!!! His view point are those of silber spoon mofos who HAVE NEVER STRUGGLED!!!

  6. There is a reason why that happened..
    It goes far beyond basketball…

    Bad behavior, lack of professionalism, not really giving a fk about the team..

    Now.. is that the type of guy you want around??

    And that's why Gil never won anything..
    The simple fact that he wouldn't ask those questions shows that he never really cared about those things…

  7. Imagine if the mavs could’ve gotten him for 2 million. They be going to the finals with a team built around a bunch of different bigs. They’re taking the nba bac to 2k7-10

  8. Figures these talented rejects don't see a problem with being bought out at 27 years old. It's definitely a problem it's unheard of. This gen is lost because of elders like gil

  9. I think this new CBA will have to be renegotiated. it's getting a bit ridiculous the ammount players are being payed. When you have guys like Ayton and Ben Simmons who only were projected stars get that much money early in their careers then almost give up playing basketball halfway through their contract…

  10. Man hell naw. After that game 7 in Phoenix and seeing his lack of effort on the court, Lakers are cooked

  11. Teams look hard at a prospects personal background more and more these days, their social media, parents, etc. Gil's statements will affect how teams look at Alijiah. They might wonder if the son shares his father's views on being a teammate
