The Buddy deal seems fine to me

Yeah, someone else would have given him a huge deal if he was restricted.

Who is the player better than Buddy willing to sign for the Kings that they could hand that bag to?

Exactly.

JFC, ok guys, I'm wrong on this.

Move on to talking about how Coby White is the next Kyrie or how you hope DRose has a comeback year because "he deserves it", please.

Jaylen Brown 4/115. Hmmmm

Man idk about this one. He needs to take a leap or two to earn that deal.

So MJ says Steph isn't a HOF and KD says he's a better shooter than Steph. I mean I know I've been tough on Steph in the past but jeez these are a couple of freezing cold takes.

MJ with one of the worst old man takes...

Steve needs to be wide open. KD can shoot whenever and wherever he wants.

Indeed he does, but the price was right for a team making a bet on him. He was the no. 3 overall pick in the draft and he's paying off. This article has a pretty good recap:

https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2019/10/22 ... ics-future

Ten years ago the Boston Celtics awarded Rajon Rondo with a five-year, $55 million deal that was partially done, in the words of his agent Bill Duffy, “to promote continuity.” Duffy knew Rondo’s perplexing behavior might combust in a different locker room, and the Celtics knew that failure to reach a deal could alienate their budding franchise point guard, something they had to avoid with a championship window cracked open. It was a unique situation that worked for the team and the player.

A decade later, the Celtics found themselves in a faintly similar situation with Jaylen Brown. Before his four-year, $115 million ($103 million is guaranteed) deal was signed, the same level of pressure that applied with Rondo wasn’t quite there, but the benefits of getting something done outweighed everything that could go wrong had they let this hang over the season, one year after they were the face of NBA dysfunction. Instead of waiting the year out and letting Brown hit restricted free agency — where his hometown Atlanta Hawks will have more than enough cap space — Boston locked the former No. 3 overall pick up at a steep price that better reflects future potential than past production.

I think everyone is reading this wrong. I took the way Jordan said this as “Curry will definitely BE a hall of famer but he’s not actually there, yet, IN the hall of fame.” He was saying it in jest.

Bro he has handles like crazy.

LeBron was bad tonight. He actively hurt the Lakers in the second half. Large Idiot doesn't make winning plays. This ain't it, guys.
