Not necessarily.

He's the best player on a small market team that was one game away from the finals.

they were a 49 win team, they werent elite. a weak east + wade on one leg is why they got that far. they happened to have a 7 footer against the smallest frontline in the league people need to stop overrating them. they wouldnt have made it oout of the first round in the west.

I'm saying that if you're the Pacers you can't afford to let him walk.

A team like the Lakers would throw everything at him and he walks.

Too bad small market teams in the NBA can't do with teams in the MLB are doing -- which is to lock up their own talent for real cheap before they hit arbitration and/or the market. Paul Goldschmidt got a 5 year $32MM deal and he's playing like an MVP. Pirates signed McCutchen to 5 year $51MM contract and he's been playing like an MVP for two seasons now. :whew:

Aside from game one, every game the heat HAD to win they blew Indy out. They weren't really close to miami, the heat was just toying with them

He was going to be a restricted free agent and the reason he's getting $90 million over 5 is due to the new CBA where guys off their rookie deals get paid percentages more based on All Star appearances or winning MVP (D Rose)

get the fukk out of here. I bet you were one of the chumps saying heat in 4, i should go check the game thread and quote you

Pacers were 1 game away from the finals. Homecourt advantage + Vogels Game 1 fukk up saved the Heat. Get out of here with that toying with them bullshyt. Pacers starters outscored the Heat that series, our lack of bench doomed us. Guess what this year we have a better bench and Dwade ain't getting any younger. Pacers should be the favorites in the East

Unlike mediocre game manager Matt Ryan, Paul George has actually carried his team somewhere

You know it's a proven fact your team maxes out at one playoff win when you have a overrated roleplayer like Matt Ryan leading them :russ:

They've both gone to a conference championship breh. What the fukk are you talking about? :dahell: Ol George Paul win a championship on NBA2k14 or some shyt that we don't know about? :russ:

So we paying role players that have never averaged 20 points in a season 90 million now? Your weak Matt Ryan comparison aside, can you answer my question breh/brehette? :lupe:

@G-Zeus :laff: @ beating the Knicks warranting a damn near max deal. Beating Fat Boy ain't shyt :heh:

Paul George, LED his team, to MULTIPLE series victories, and was 1 GAME from the finals

Matt Ryan, has won, ONE PLAYOFF GAME, his ENTIRE CAREER.. He's the definition of overrated

Paul George is a Top 5 defensive player, and almost a Top 10 offensive player, Matt Ryan isnt in the top tier of anything QB related besides getting his team bounced in the first round.

Any contract Paul George got that was less than Lebrons is a steal, because thats the echelon he's in now.

I would have thought you learned to appreciate this as he was BOUNCING your teams ass out the playoffs

Of course don't let potential cloud the reality :stopitslime:he is not role player but neither is he superstar..

dude has done nothing...to get the 90 milly.. 17 and 7 and a putrid 41%
You don't pay for past production,you pay for what he CAN become.
Will he ever be a superstar puttin' up 25 ppg a game?Maybe not,but he's not some scrub ass nikka everyone is making him out to be.The nikka is 23 and is already one of the better TWO way players in the league and is a PERFECT fit in Indy.He does more to contribute to W's than a lot of the nikkas ppl on this board stan..If he averaged 5 more ppg nikkas wouldn't blink an eye at this contract.

With that said all Pacers fans can eat a dikk .
