[FAH1223]

Dirk has said in interviews he turns down all endorsement contracts and just gives the free shyt companies send him to promote away to his friends. He gives 0 fukks about making money off the imaging, branding, and entertainment that being a pro athlete brings.

He probably doesn't even view this contract as a "paycut" like the rest of us do. He most likely thinks he's making far more than he deserves for playing a game as is, and $10mil per in the latter stages of his career when he just wants to contend is more than adquate. Especially given the recent deals KG and Duncan signed.

This is the exact contract I was expecting/hoping for heading into FA. That's my GOAT euro GOAT shooting big man GOAT DFW athlete

I used to think like this too, got upset that people got paid millions to play a game they love, but you gotta look at it from a different perspective. Theres billions involved in sport, who should make all that money then? The athletes should be the ones that are billionaires, theyre the ones who offer the entertainment that fans pay to see

Dirk has brought 2 unofficial rings to the Mavs.

The same amount Kobe has without Shaq.

The hell is an unofficial ring?



Kobe got 6 unofficial rings then.

 

[duckbutta]

To bad cuban has been striking out on free agents going on 3 years now

 

[Majestic Pape]

Team friendly deal. I wanna see how they use this extra money though.

Dirk's gonna probably feel stupid on the inside when the Mavs don't actually do shyt with that money.

 

[blackzeus]

Sounds like it's in the $30 million dollar range. $10 mill per for the goat player in franchise history, I'll take it. Timmy and Dirk showing Kobe how it's done.

How when none have more championships? And we not gon' note Duncan got his 5th with Kobe on the sidelines?

 

[kash10003]

How when both have less championships?

Tim And Kobe both have 5 breh

Damn that was fast , you quoted me before the edit.

Dat Triple D Loyalty from one of the best to ever do it

 

[fact]

Cuban has to have a bytch ass rep amongst the players, this fukking fakkit really rolls out the red carpet for his players, private jets, state of the art player facilities, prolly has them in 6 * hotels, never mind the shyt he giving to players off the books (you know its happening), but he can't get a free agent worth shyt to sign. The players in the league have zero respect for that man, right? Why else would players not want to go there?

 

[PortCityProphet]

be a superstar and take a paycut so role players can get overpaid brehs

The very concept that players are now being pressured to take paycuts on salaries that are already artificially and arbitrarily lowered by a salary cap, is crazy to me...the very best players are already LITERALLY forced to receive salaries that are a fraction of what they would command in a truly free market, and now they're "greedy" for not sufficiently getting lil boy'd even more out of the fraction they're allowed to get...all the while, the owners are signing billion dollar local tv deals and turning 9 figure annual profits during down years
