Getting that under the table momey š
Make since to me since we been getting a discounted version of kd for the last 5-7years he went to Brooklyn and never played because of injuries then he goes to Phx and that team fails off the map I forgot about Phx the last 2 season.
Only a paycut if someone else offered more. With his age, injury history and pattern of wanting to leave I'd say was only a tiny paycut
KD will be 38 years old when this new two years extension will click. 45M$ for a player of this age is still huge. This is not because Lebron James managed to keep very high stats at 40 years old that all players will manage to do it. There are still very high chances that KD could be impacted by an important decline (think about PG !!).
The past season, KD hasn't been impacted by any decline on his shot making but already on his rebounding (6.0 is his lowest value since his rookie season) and his offensive playmaking (only 4.2 assists). His frequency at the rim has also decreased a lot.
It's basically the franchise tag for nba
LeBron has taken pay cuts in Miami, Cleveland, and lakers multiple times just not 30 million yāall forget quick
do not forget texas is very good with taxe so the pay cut is not very high because it's like a max like in NY or LA
Lebron would never take a paycut š
k.D is a real bucket getter he doesnāt need ball like Lebrun heās a true hooper
His game doesnāt require catering to him
He gets it any which way you need
Baller for real
Ps itās layers making more than that now that canāt breath same air as MR Durant
Pablo Torre will Find Out
Not for nothing, but why did the clippers try to hide the money for Kawhi when Balmer couldāve paid the second apron penalty like it was pocket change?
Nba is now on peacock. When will fans boycott this mess?
Lmao old ass player
Lebron won't get a 2-year 90M deal or a 45M 1-year deal. He probably won't even be the top 2 scoring options with his next team if he wants to contend.
Players want max contracts then complain their team sucks cuz they canāt afford good players
But u said KD will not get the Ext…what about now?
So youāre saying Kevin Durant will be āplanting treesā for the rest? š¤ š¤£
he earns 7 millions less than bron, wow what a pay cut
Cap circumvention š§¢
KD understood the assignment! LBJ didn't…
Lebron is selfish as hell… (points to Bronny)
This video is about Kevin durant some how lebron gets put in here sad š
If KD gets injured, the discount would not be much discount
45mil a year is not a huge discount ! I donāt care what percentage of the cap it is , itās a small discount , a huge discount would be 15 mil a year not 45! Gtfo with that huge clickbait
45 mil a year?! If the Lakers give Lebron 45 mil a year Rob should be fired
C KD takes a pay cut but LBJ demands a supermax
it sounds like a great position to be in when, you make 45 million dollars a year and also are praised for taking a big paycut
Lebron is not capable of understanding the logic of taking a pay cut like KD and Tim Duncan in the past. What he fails to realize is that another ring would pay off much more later in his life and he'd make it all back and more.
Trevor, you said it. The Clippers created the blue print to circumvent the salary cap and the Rockets are following it.
Dirk did it quite a while back. Actions, not
passive aggressive statements. He really wanted to win. Does LBJ?
Is KD still the highest pay player on the Rockets?
Whatever direction LeBron goes, folks will criticize it, sohe should do what makes him happy, period.
Owners have benefitted from this second apron shit they can get max level players to take paycuts because of it
LeBron will sign a 1 year max contract with a team other than the Lakers – Nostradamus
stop working at mcdonalds
Lakers needs to trade LeBron and Rui ASAP. runās defense? Zero. LeBron should have been traded after hi opted inā¦.he has not been playing this year, itās time move on.
