Goran Dragic 5 yr $90M from Heat

[duckbutta]

i will always smh my head at this shyt. cap going up so paying 120 million over 4 years to DeAndre will be a steal in a few years

What is there not to understand?

The NBA is a business...

The player is an asset...

The agents for the players control the asset...

The business...the asset...and the agent that controls the asset all know there is going to be a large influx of cash coming from a new tv deal spread out over the next 3 to 4 years...

So the business has two choices...it can just not purchase the assets now and hoard money...however the influx of cash that everyone knows about means that the price of the asset is going to go up every year...

Or it can purchase the assets now because this is the absolute lowest they are going to be available going forward...again since everyone knows the influx of cash is coming the asking price for the assest is just going to go higher since the amount of money coming into the business is going up...

And seeing as how the business needs the asset to continue to operate...there is really only one choice..

Furthermore...if the business buys the asset for say...4 years...then the business has the absolute most money to spend at the time the asset probably becomes the most expensive...due to the contract being up and the books being cleared...

People are looking at this from the perspective of "I wouldn't pay Deandre a 120 million for blah blah blah years..."

People should look at it as "what is that 120 million dollars compared to how much money I can spend over the length of the contract?"

Question...tell me a PG the Heat could've realistically gotten that would've been just as good or better than Dragic and would've cost less?

They could have instead paid one pick to have a younger Isaiah Thomas at 3yr/20 moving forward

Single handidly beat the spurs (though it was without Duncan) in the playoffs some years ago...

Made all nba team last year...only didn't make it this year because the suns were playing him at the 3 and he was guarding guys 5 inches taller and about 30 pounds heavier...

If Brandon Knight is getting 70...90 for Dragic is pretty generous...

Plus the cap is going through the roof so in 2 years this is going to be a steal...

This means Wade has to get paid out the wazoo though

Duncan was playing in that game. He came into the game at the 8:40 mark and Dragic shytted on him . He scored 19 of his 23 points with Duncan in the game that Quarter

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

The contract is atrocious, but my thing is... do Dragic and Wade's games even complement each other?

As crazy as it sounds, if you willing to pay this guy 90 Mill, its not smart to overpay for Wade.

Isaiah could've been a good get but you've got some hindsight going there. Miami traded a bunch of scrub backups for Dragic and everyone was praising Riley for it. No one was considering Isaiah to be a better option than Dragic

You right I somehow got that year confused with 2000 when Duncan tore his meniscus and missed the playoffs...

Reminding me that Pop kept Duncan out of the playoffs because he said he didn't understand the nature of the injury and figures "why chance it"

Let's face it brehs thats the going rate for GOOD (not great) players these days
We're in the wrong business, brehs

 

[WaddupDoe!]

Knew we would overpay. Its what happens in free agency. Goran will still be nice as fukk for us.

Welcome back Dragon.


Now just have to pay Wade.

The key to any asset is value. How valuable is DeAndre Jordan or Goran Dragic to a team really? Nobody is coming out to see these guys. They aren't moving merchandise like that. They don't guarantee deep playoff runs all by their lonesome. So what is really the benefit of paying guys like that this kind of money? You don't see the successful team in this league spending money just for the hell of it or because the Joneses are doing it.

The midget?
We already have Napier on the roster. We cant afford to have too many players under 6'2" in this new NBA

 

[WuDatWuDat]

Homie is banking off of a 3 month stretch. Good for him.

Da homie Sabo's next contract gonna be like 10 years 250 mill if Dragic getting 5/90 though

People are acting like Dragic didnt always have a big payday coming? The Suns moved him and not Bledsoe for a reason, they weren't going to be able to afford him. We're talking about a guard with a 50% fg percentage. Who was gonna pay him that money? Everybody

he certainly picked the wrong season to have a playoff meltdown.
