JR Smith - "Lin's contract would be a locker room problem"

[LastEmperor2k2]

There are like a dozen threads on the Knicks about this but not one calling out the Rockets for paying Lin superstar money?

Desperate teams make desperate contracts.

This happens in every sport, you got to overpay if you're not a hotspot destination for FA

because Dolan doesnt give a f about the luxury tax...

raise ticket prices, concessions....nothing that hasnt been done before...ppl will still go.

64M already committed three years from now. Add on top of that the 14M lin will be making and you're talking about close to 30M in tax, that's between 5 players. Wake the F up, no owner is going to pay that much in tax.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

yup... let's not look at what he actually said... let's sit back and try and figure out what he's "pretty much saying"...

Ok, so your co-worker says you're new promotion salary is "ridiculous".

What does that mean.

It's always funny how much people will skirt around things and try to ignore common sense.

well then we could make the argument Melo and Amare's deals are the real poison pill...

JR Smith said longer, as in time, not difference in league. Inferior or superior has nothing to do with what he said himself ./

You're comparing apples and oranges. According to your logic, all of the nba players that went overseas last season were getting overpaid b/c they didn't earn their stripes in the euro leagues.

JR clearly said longer, not better nor superior. What is your logic?

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

He didn't say that man's salary is ridiculous. He said his "contract" was ridiculous and if you decided to add the ingredient of context, it was the contracts structure he spoke about. But you seem more interested in turning that into salt.

So you're trying to separate salary and contracts now in a league where your contract is guaranteed?

I fukking give up.

 

[No1]

Lin isnt getting 40 mill

Do you not understand the new luxury tax?

 

[dtownreppin214]

well then we could make the argument Melo and Amare's deals are the real poison pill...

that's a whole other debate. yes, many of the teams that signed max players right before the cba got screwed. it's part of the reason why i said knicks will be bad next year and the following years.

dog, in the same article, he explains what the fukk it means... holy shyt...
but lets play along...
let's say you and i both work for mcdonalds, you've been there for years and are a proven worker, i've been there for 2 months and just happened to make some real good fries a few times... then burger king comes in and offers me just under what you're making, FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF fukkING MCDONALDS OVER (a company you're vested in)... do you not have a right to criticize burger kings actions?

When you say "That man's salary is ridiculous" you're pretty much implying he isn't worth what he is being paid.

He didn't say his salary .you clearly have a agenda he said it's a business ( melo ) he never said the salary is ridiculous

 

[NYC Rebel]

So you're trying to separate salary and contracts now in a league where your contract is guaranteed?

YES!!!

The salary isn't the issue...it's the way the contract was structured that is the issue.

You don't WANT to get it that there's a clear difference.

Please...give up and leave.

 

[BossDon]

jr shouldve gave a p.c. response, knowing how the ny media is.

 

[DirtyD]

Fellow Knicks fans.

so next year we going to be bad ? Why? Cause of money ? We still have melo , chandler and amare in a weak east. With your logic the nets , heat should be bad
