  4. I respect his opinion but i disagree. Caps and aprons are here to keep all teams on a level playing field and creating parity. Being able to max contract 3 or more players even id you drafted them is going to make it more lopsided than it already is. The thunder still get rewarded for drafting well, several years together. But if they want ot give multiple max contracts they must pick and choose who gets them like every team. Otherwise might as well let the lakers offer 5 max contracts and take any decent free agent

  11. Its simple. Players need to paid less. I know it won't happen but if teams want to stay together under that apron. These players need to consider taking a little less money to keep a team together

  14. Nba players are so simple minded. It's not about okc, or any team, being able to keep their teams together. It's about parity. It's about teams that gradually got too cute paying max money to players who didn't deserve it. Which in turn caused role players to make an absurd amount also. Which causes the need for more revenue for all teams and the league, smaller market teams especially. Which is part of the reason you see so many ads for betting sites. Hell, those sites even have the TV rights to many teams.

    The aprons aren't meant to punish those who draft well. Chet isn't a max player. Williams isn't a max player. As a team, go ahead and hinder yourself if you want to, by giving or offering max money. As a player, go ahead and chase the money if you want to, by taking or demanding max money. But that will bring consequences.

    The contract trend was unsustainable. And believe it or not, whether the fans know it or not, it was becoming unbearable for us also. The max contract was meant to fall within a range. Not meant to be given to anyone just because they deem themselves worthy. But these dudes are too simple to get it.

  15. It's not necessarily losing the main cogs either. OKC is going to pay their main 3. They've already inked new contracts with each of them. It's the supplemental pieces that start to erode when its their time to get paid. I think Lu Dort and Hartenstein are up after next year. They can't afford to pay them. There is no money. You have to cobble together what you can from new pieces on cheaper contracts.

  19. The minute Kevin Love retires, some front office will hand him a clipboard. They probably already have a parking space with his name on it. IDK if that's true but it feels true

  20. It isn't the rules, it is the players. You keep demanding to be the first player to get a billion dollar contract and wonder why teams can't afford to keep players. Makes ticket prices higher where less and less kids get to watch a kids game being played at the highest level

    Don't forget… this is a children's game. No reason any one person should get $50 million a year, and no reason a ticket on the lower level should cost more than $100

  22. They should cut their he salaries down and make them earn them. If they don’t play a certain amount of games they don’t get all their money and if they don’t put out effort they get fired.

  24. I don't know why they got K. Love spun up by making a claim that OKC CAN'T keep their core 3 together. They JUST did. Presti showed that the best hope is signing guys early, before the Salary Cap makes more jumps.
