All these NBA contracts are not real

[tony_come]

Garbage to the max

[lakerboy]

Complete disgrace. It tells you how much money the owners really make. I will never attend another nba game unless tickets are free.

[Otters27]

NBA hardest league to make as a player. So few spots for so many guys trying

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Conley's contract is insane.

[SomeDayinBuffalo]

Conley's contract is insane.

Is it? I don't know about that. The cap went up and that's not their fault. Well someone is paying for it and a few people are paying for it. So do you just want all the money to go to the rich owners? At least the money will get put back in the economy.

[MoneyLineDawg]

This is only the beginning

Next season is going to be much worse as the cap increases a ton

Sucks if you are that D league player that just can't make the NBA

[The Giant]

Mike Conley biggest contract in NBA history.

Mike Conley has never made an All-Star game.

[tony_come]

Must have clause in contract

[Smoke]

Must have clause in contract

Black Mamba theory

[goduke]

Well if we all agree to stop watching the shitty product then they won't make this much. The NBA is a juiced up wwe

[adila1401]

Mike Conley is legit yo..Gotta pay him market value plus Grizzlies can't afford to lose him.

[DOM-Ganador]

IT IS NEVER THE PLAYERS FAULT HOW MUCH HE GETS PAID.

Sometimes it is the fault of their agents if they are underpaid.
NBA salary cap is a negotiated % of revenue. These new $ scream how much the owners have been
pocketing forever. And still will.

[Mr KLC]

I hope all those enriched by this game treat this windfall as a non renewable resource. I'm sure we are going to hear more"crash and burn" stories after all of these big contracts.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Conley most underrated player in NBA

[jjgold]

your a jerkoff if you go and support inner city guys

[kidcudi92]

your a jerkoff if you go and support inner city guys

Who ever thought Conley would make more than Greg Oden could ever imagine

[Mr KLC]

The NBA has announced the salary cap will be $94.143 million for the upcoming season. The tax level will be $113.287 million.

[gojetsgomoxies]

good discussion..

these contracts do seem insane...

BUT it's a max-salary and rookie scale league... if you play 8 players and you have one max star and 3 contributors on early stage deals then you have like $70MM/season to spend on 4 players or something like that. not sure what the minimum floor is but i think you'd need to spend $50MM/season on 4-5 players.

basic question: are guys on their second contracts really underpaid like rookie deals? or just moderate underpayment but can't play where they want?.........

and stating the obvious, but these huge deals are due to new cap.......most teams couldn't afford anything but their own players before this increased cap. next summer too.

[DeathAdder]

Their needs to be a lockout. Conleys contract is a travesy and utter joke. Guys a max 10 million player

get out of here

[k13]

Stop watching this garbage...not sure who even watches this in the regular season...
Must be kids and minorities.

[Menses]

LOL...everybody is jealous of the contracts these BLACK players are being signed TO...but this WHITE OWNERS are making triple of what the players are earning...NOBODY seems to have a problem with that....

[rm18]

Leuer, Dellavadova, Mozgov, and Tyler Johnson contracts are some of the funniest though

[Itsamazing777]

Leur is a very good fit on the Pistons. 6th man or Most improved player possible

[texhooper]

this is a little misleading. that's mike's max the grizzlies can offer him under the new cba. other teams could not offer as much due to new incentive built in for guys to stay put. conley is the first so he's taking all the shit but 30 mil will be nothing soon enough. the market is the market. the deal is the deal.

as stated previously by other posters, all this does is highlight how much the players have not been getting in the past vs how much the owners have been getting.

[texhooper]

what i should have mentioned in my previous post was other teams were willing to give conley a max deal. and if they could have gotten him for the same deal memphis was able to give him, they would have. a max is a max. that's just the max now! we've only just begun.

[klemopixx]

Why pay 9 Million a year on a bench player? You could sign a 1st round pick for wayyyyy less and probably get the same production. I'm cringing that the 76ers big free agent signing was Jerryd Bayless for 3/27m. At least they didn't give 70m to Evan Turner!

[texhooper]

i think it will take time to adjust the amounts we expect players to get. everything's gone up seemingly overnight, yet we all knew this was coming. it just shocks you when you hear guys like jon leur getting 10 mil a year.

basically you can be shocked and complain, or you can get your son a private basketball instructor and embrace the future.

Which business pays employees 49% of revenue?
