I think the problem some people have IT is that he thinks he’s better than he is. Nothing wrong with having confidence. But shyt Jeremy Lin had a hot season too. :hubie:
:francis:i don't think IT will get a better contract than Lin got off his run

These are the salaries of all NBA players this season

If Isaiah can't get in that top 50 range, something is wrong.

salaries in the NBA are not relative to how good a player is. teams overpay all the time but only when they are able to overpay. timing is everything. if Lou got $8 million then that should tell you what Isaiah is going to get. its like Noel....had he been a FA the year before somebody wouldve paid him the 70 mil, but he wasnt an FA at the time.

Isaiah has the worse timing here.

further more, there is one of two things critically wrong with his basketball play right now in terms of his injury. either his hip is really bothering him or mentally he is afraid to re-aggravate it because he played like he didnt want to get hit and teams are going to PnR his ass to death. his liability on defense is far beyond his size....Muggsy was a pesty defender at 5'3". Isaiah has not shown willingness to pick up and hound 94 feet, if he did team defense can help him that much more because he at least can make the opposing offense burn more off the shot clock so then it takes less pressure off the defense once they cross mid court.

he is pretty much done. before the Boston exit he was prob looking at around 25 mil if not more and now the most I think he is getting is 15 mil, which still aint bad for him, but he has to prove himself all over again

ya'll both left out the greatest small mall of all time AI

bruh was less than 6 feet, prolly weighin in at a buck 50, and he was going hard to the paint every play with the giant centers of the 90s

AI wasn't that small. He's 6'0. However he looks 6'1 on that court.

Trust me AI is not 6 ft.

I was at 40/40 in Atlantic City standing like 2 feet from AI for like 10 mins..I didnt even realize it was him at first until he looked directly at me...He had a Yankees cap on low.

Hes like 5'10 at most..

Sidenote: AI stayed in AC twisted during the season...Ive seen him a rack of times there..One night he was so drunk..he pissed in a flower pot in Harrahs...lol...Security kicked him out and he was yelling "fuk yall nikkas"...His boys were pulling him out the door.. ...

"I'm in my prime, so I'm not taking a backseat to anybody"


I mean I can't knock dude for confidence in his abilities he's a pro he's supposed to say that but this is a 29 game audition for a 4 year 48 milly deal for him.

Not peanuts but he's not getting a max.

Not sure why dudes keep clowning his height...injuries, 1 good season and his awful attitude in CLE fukked him over.
