Bobby Bonilla is still getting paid by the Mets and he has been gone from baseball almost 20 years. lol
This will bite the owners in a few years. They keep giving these multi year mad or near max contracts to marginal talent, and they will be these albatrosses that will destroy a teams flexibility and they can't give real contracts to these up and coming stars.
They are treating the cap is ever increasing when the reality is that this is a two year phenomenon. Teams should stand pat and wait for the storm to pass, then managing salaries based on percentages of the cap rather than hard numbers.
153 million $ for 13/6 career guy at 29 with dodgy health outlook :lmao
Holy shit, Bonilla gets $1.2 million a year from them until 2035 because the Mets wanted to invest the $5.9 million he was due in 2000 into Bernie Madoff's ponzi scheme? :rollinQuote:

Can't believe so many Spurs fans wanted him, tbh..his body is finished..
Grizzlies are going to be the worst team in the West in a year..
Even without the injuries paying 5 years $153 million to a non-elite offensive player, non-elite (nor even above average) defensive player, a player that's not a first or second option level talent is a stupid idea to begin with. But then again the Grizzlies are not exactly known for their intelligence.
It's already safe to say that this is the worst contract in NBA history and one of the worst in sports. :lol at all the idiots excusing these insane contracts by pointing to the rising salary cap, as if that somehow justifies overpaying for mediocrity.
He isn't even better than G.Hill unleashed even when he's healthy but is the highest paid player of all-time.:lolQuote:

Also I think Lebron has the highest salary for this year. But Conley probably does not deserve half of Lebron's money.
Did Wes Matthews retire?:lolQuote:

Value per dollar, Porker is a worse contract than Conley.:lolQuote:

that's a weird name...Crittenton.Quote:
