:lol today's NBA

[Clipper Nation]

:lol In yesterday's NBA, a fat, drugged-up, unmotivated Shawn Kemp got paid $107 million. When adjusted for inflation, that's over $160 million in today's dollars. Not too far off from what Cousins - an elite big man in his prime - stands to get this offseason.

The same year Kemp got that big payday, known cancer Vin Baker got paid $86.7 million. That's over $130 million in today's dollars.

A couple years later, Antonio Davis got a huge payday at age 31 after his first and only All-Star Game appearance (:lol) - $60 million, or $87 million in today's dollars. The year before he got paid, he averaged 10 rebounds per game. He never sniffed 10 rebounds per game before that season and never did it again.

Even Brian fucking Grant managed to steal $86 million - $120 million in today's dollars - from the Heat. Was Riley on crack?

All of yesterday's NBA fan's arguments are retarded, but the obsession with contracts is their most retarded argument yet. Bad contracts have always been a thing in all sports since pro athletes started making big money.

:lol Who's declaring Boogie as the clear-cut, inarguable best big in the NBA? He's an elite big man, just like Davis, Marc Gasol, Blake, Drummond, Jokic, Gobert, Whiteside, etc. Bigs, especially elite ones, have always been paid the big bucks compared to their peers because you can't teach size. That's how the NBA works.

I don't like Cousins, but it's understandable why he's going to get a shitload of money. Bigs with offensive games like his are a rare commodity. It's not like they're handing out hundreds of millions of dollars to Brian Grant, Antonio Davis, Jerome James, or one of the many other role-playing bigs who got overpaid in yesterday's NBA - or modern equivalents like DeContract Jordan, Timofey Mozgov and washed-up Joakim Noah. Cousins would still be in line for one of the biggest contracts in the league right now in all other eras of basketball.

And you have plenty of people in the media saying he is the best.

[HarlemHeat37]

No-brainer, tbh..he has one of the worst supporting casts in NBA history, so Sacramento will probably never surround him with anything notable, but you have to hold on to him..

I've never seen a big man with a combination of post/face-up/shooting/ball-handling/passing like Cous, tbh..imagine he had a decent coach or guard to set him up, too..

In 13 seasons Kemp made $91m, he was only fat the latter part of his career



The same year Kemp got that big payday, known cancer Vin Baker got paid $86.7 million. That's over $130 million in today's dollars.


More deception. "The same year Kemp got that big payday" :lol

Vin Baker's 13 year career earnings average $7.5m per season.

Not lies.

Kemp did sign a $107 million contract with the Cavs in 1997. He became so fat, drugged up and lazy that when he ended up on the Blazers, they restructured his contract and he voluntarily agreed to give up $25 million. Portland's GM at the time, Bob Whitsitt, openly referred to him as "grossly overpaid" :lol

http://a.espncdn.com/nba/news/2002/0819/1420372.html

Baker signed with the Sonics for $86.7 million in 1997. The Celtics later terminated his contract with $35 million left on the deal because of his binge alcoholism.

Brian Grant signed with the Heat for $86 million in 2000. You conveniently ignored the remaining $42.4 million he sucked out of the Lakers when he was shipped there as part of the Shaq trade in 2004.

So, in conclusion, you flat-out lied about Brian Grant's contract. And you failed to prove that none of those three players were overpaid. The only reason that Kemp and Baker didn't see all of those grossly overinflated contracts was because of their own actions. Their contracts were still absolutely retarded even at the time of signing. Especially Baker's, which hamstrung the Sonics from making moves in free agency.

Not lies. I was referring to the contracts on the day they were signed. The fact that there were actual front offices in yesterday's NBA who thought that a fat, washed-up Shawn Kemp was worth $107 mil, Vin Baker was worth $86.7 mil and Brian Grant was worth $86 mil at any time is laughable, regardless of what happened later on in those contracts.

If Cousins gets paid $200+ million this summer and then drinks/drugs himself out of the league and doesn't see the entirety of the contract or he bounces around from team to team, something tells me that the yesterday's NBA krew won't retract all their mockery of the original contract he signed.

Based off memory, kemp didn't get into problems until the lockout and he signed that contract before then.

Baker at one point was a legit star and grant had a streak of really good games before he signed the contract. Juwan Howard, Jon Ko can, Jim mcilvaine and Jerome James were way worse contracts.

When Juwan Howard's horrible contract was signed, he was considered a legit star on the rise (like Baker) and was an All-Star. And Jerome James got overpaid because of a string of good games just like Grant was.

The point is, players were overpaid in yesterday's NBA just like they are today.

Juwan Howard signed the biggest contract in history at that point based on a strong half season and Jerome James had a good playoff run playing pick and roll that everybody saw was due to the kings leaving him opened.

I know what your intent was but baker made multiple all star and all NBA teams at that point.
Brian grant was considered a defense force and had the ability to knock down open jumpers. He was supposed to be this new age PF at the time the league was filled with phenomenal PFs.
