He's making $46 mil next year though, would he take a $6 mil pay cut to go to Miami? What's the tax situation in Arizona like :patrice:

Word on the street is that he could turn down the $46 million and end up with a 3 yr/$100 million dollar deal from a team like Dallas or Miami. Essentially what Hayward did last year.

He’s played well enough and changed Phoenix’s fortunes for it to actually be a plausible scenario.

Doesn't the CBA prevent players from signing long-term contracts that end past age 37?

I respect that he didn't want to be on a tanking Rockets team, but he should have took the extension.

Now he has to take a 1 year deal somewhere and rebuild his value.

Ehhh I don’t think so. I always thought there was no chance he was opting out of $46 million at his age until John Hollinger mentioned talk about it a while back.



Phoenix should pay the bread to keep him even if the last year is a wash as they need to keep a winning team around Booker to entice him to stay long term.

Maybe that age 37 rule is only for max deals.

No way he’s getting a max deal lol. Even something like a 2 yr/$70 million would be enough to entice him to opt out. I think someone gives him the third year though to get a leg up on the competition even if it’s a wash.

Victor is going to have to come to terms with not getting a max contract at this point. He should have taken the guaranteed money from the Rockets an worried about getting traded later.

Yeah. Take care of the fam while you can and worry about the rest later. There really is no difference to US$20mio per annum and US$30mio annum from a lifestyle POV. Steph took care of things and he recovered to be great. Dipo is on a dangerous Cousins/ IT path right now

Crazy how life can come at you in NBA. IT, Cousins, and now probably Vic gonna lose $100M+ contracts due to injuries. Meanwhile, if Fournier helps Celts in playoff run he's prob gonna get $100M+ contract offer this summer w/o any All-Star appearances.

The thing I find most stunning about the Dipo situation is that breh turned down the 2 year deal from Houston in spite of struggling the entire season :dwillhuh:

It was obvious that dude hasn't been right the entire season, yet he let the allure of the lack of free agents in the offseason cloud his judgement.
