The Summer of Dysfunction: NBA 2022 Offseason thread

[NoMorePie]

He ain't wrong to question why a 23 year old is taking a deal like that. When you look at the representation the shyt seems fishy.

Especially since he'd be looking to get paid next year.. Russ and Bron being ball dominant.. ad there.. he'd be the 4th option, delegated as a spot up shooter.

Perhaps I'm underestimating the Lakers stimulus

Lakers brand helps..Nick Young got an adidas deal after joining us. Caruso and Reeves both have shoe deals. Monk went from a vet min to 19 mil. Most often than not its a good gamble to get a better contract after

Caping

Not to mention other teams do the exact same thing. Milwaukee did it with Portis when they convinced him to take less and make up later.

Those things actually happened lmao?

Role players will get more eyes on a bigger market than a smaller one. Yall act like these grown ups are forced to sign contracts and don't know the risk

Lonnie is cool, but Pop had him in the doghouse sometimes for a reason lol

Spurs let Lonnie walk for free and they are complaining why he only signed for 6 mil. Just say you don't like the Lakers and save the dumb analysis

Ask nerlens how well trusting rich Paul worked out for him

Was Denis Schroder a Rich Paul client? Was Victor Oladipo one?? Why are we pretending this only happens to Rich Paul clients??

 

[Brozay]

ESPN show is so bad, they used to report it live now all they are doing is talking about KD and ignoring everything else

Perk trying to tell us Ayton & Nic Claxton could work on the court together

 

[Brozay]

the best Lonnie Walker could do is one year 6 mil, wtf?

There’s a difference between that and having an agent who is more concerned about lebron’s best interest than his own clients

But whatever, lakers aren’t truly relevant until like 2030 at this point other than entertainment purposes for how pathetic they’ve become
