Fukk an amnesty clause. I know Philly fans are sick to their stomach. They praying God will take that nikka and relieve them of their misery already.
BREAKING: Free agent F Paul George has agreed on a four-year, $212 million maximum contract with the Philadelphia 76ers

Disagree. The money is massive and the players have collectively bargained to get a certain % of it. Back when Lebron signed a 6/$110 million it was still basically the same % of the teams salary cap as Scottie Barnes 5/$225 million. And the owners basically set limits on how many years a contract can be to save themselves from terrible decisions.

I used to think he simply just didn't read the room. Scratch that, it now looks like he doesn't give one f*ck.
It’s all the players. Laughing at the fans and front office face all way to the bank.
There’s going to be a lockout in the next 2-3 years
PG actually wasn’t highly recruited coming out of HS.
I’m surprised a lot of y’all bring this up given most of y’all are 40+. Juwan Howard, Alonzo Mourning and KG signed $100M+ contracts in the mid 90s. And KG signed his deal after only being in the league for 2 years. That’s $300M in today’s money and those guys were still motivated. Even if you gave the current crop of guys half of what they’re getting now they still wouldn’t be more motivated.
I remember when he was adamantly denying their kid until she posted receipts.
And it wasn't the first time
Now , he's got her like the trophy wife she wanted because he doesn't have a choice.
You named three guys total and didn't mention that there was a lockout shortly afterwards.
After the lockout, max deals were 6/$70 million.
She did help him when he was in the hospital after the injury with the US team...
I still remember how bad that injury looked and everyone wrote him off... she was coming to the hospital every day, and he enjoyed her company...
He never got his full athleticism back, but he still had a decent career...
Enjoying one's company is probably more important for marriage than what the world might say...

I have come to the conclusion that very few players are worth that max if you are trying to win. But not because they don't deserve it. It's because if somehow that dude doesn't work out it really fukks over your franchise for the duration of the time that said player is under contract
See Beal for the wizards. Happy we got off of him otherwise he'd cost us that much with no chance to do roster building around him. His contract and no trade clause basically has fukked over the suns and they can't make any moves and I wouldn't be surprised if KD moves on.

Power is in my hair nikka
The narrative is going to be driven that he cares more about maintaining his podcast than rehabbing to get back on the court....When that lockout hits, he's not going to care...despite being one of the prime offenders.
While he shouldn't be faulted for getting one last payday, but it's pretty obvious that he aint too concerned with rehabbing to get back playing.... that's the check stealing.

KG and Zo's deals were worth it. They were 2 of the top big men in the league even that early in their career. I never understood that Howard contract with the Wizards. Even at Michigan I saw him as the 3rd best of the Fab 5.
Yeah but he's still on a crowded beach. He's got the money to get more privacy
I watched him play at Fresno State. He literally came out of nowhere. Maybe a 3 star player at best if that. When he did this dunk, I knew there was something to him and he was going places.
