Yet another reason why max contracts are stupid. If there were no max contracts there would be no basis for a reporter to ask "Do you think you deserve $15 million per year?". nikka wouldn't even be thinking about that if there was no max.

Problem is that instead of max contracts, he'd just say "I'm worth what he's worth, and if that was $15 mil a year, so be it."

Q&A: John Wall on Elite Point Guards, the Wizards' Season, and Whether He's a Max Contract Player - The Triangle Blog - Grantland



The max for Restricted Free Agents I believe is 4 years and $60 million... or 5 years $80 million if desginated the franchise player.

:manny:

Then he'd just look at what the highest paid pg's are making and use that as a barometer. I agree though.

The term "max" takes the individual out of the equation. It allows you to distance yourself from reality. You really think that nikka would come out his mouth and say "Yeah I deserve what CP3 makes.". Would an interviewer even ask him that shyt? :ld:

Where would the number come from though? That's my issue. The reporter couldnt' even phrase the question like that and in turn pretty much force him to answer it like that. It would be self-sabotage to say "No I dont' deserve the max" no matter how true it might be.

I think if some other player who didn't deserve it got that kind of money, he'd up the ante. Now, CP3 would be making twice as much, but the money Wall would get would be about the same. I get what you're saying though.

I'm expecting another lockout after they decide to opt out of the current CBA. I bet they're going to push real hard for non guaranteed contracts.

I'm not even mad at him or any other player getting their money. He probably will get the max and more power to him. My issue is with the the bytchassness on the owner's part.

If they remove some of the restrictions such as max salaries I am all for it. Give nikkas the money they deserve and make them earn it.
