Max Westbrook.
Wemby’s going to make a fortune on outside deals because of his international appeal. No Texas Income Tax is also an advantage and mansions are cheaper to build here than in high income states. Centralized location makes for shorter flights to east or west coasts. Sure, we bake in the summer, but we only have about 2 weeks of freezing winter each year and that’s during the playing season anyway. Most of these top picks earn enough on their rookie contracts to never have to work again if they wish and still have a very comfortable life…. Not mega rich, so can’t employ the homeboy posse, but that only sucks for them…. Not the players family.
about half of all NBA players are broke 5 years after retiring. Sit down old man.
No players.
Wemby is far more mature and disciplined than most NBA players. There are many players I can see being in financial trouble later in life, but not Wemby. And not just because he's going to make far more money than them.
does that mean he will take a discount?
First thing he should do is tell the Spurs to spend all that cash considerations money.
None of the previous main star Spurs took discounts on their first few contracts.
Only when they were entering the Autumns and Winters of their careers.
You guys live in La La Land.
That’s because they’re stupid with their money…. Probably like you are young man.
Not necessarily, but for most players I would put that chance at negative a million percent, with Wemby it's like 0.5%.
He deserves every penny of every max/supermax he can possibly sign.
The salary cap has done wonders of causing fans to call the people who do all the work (players) greedy, so that rich owners can save money.
Decently? (I know what you mean tho!)
I make pretty smart investments. Thanks for your concern.
decently paidImagine the fans and their low salaries who are the ones supporting the whole thing. I think that some people don't realize how much money they are making
should we pay every employee more in the nation because they don't know how to manage their money?
Doesn’t even matter if we make smart decisions and have ok luck with health.
Yeah, I think Tim’s first discount was inyear 12 or 13. As an athlete, you have to make hay while the sun shines. Get your first two or three bags, THEN be magnanimous.
I guess that I'm built differently, I would care way more about winning championships. If I made already 50 millions as a rookie and was to sign a new contract, I would have no problem taking 100 million dollar less to ensure that I can win multiple championships especially if I had many deals on the side.
Paying them more or less money doesn't change that in any way.
I wouldn't give a billionaire a discount. I don't care what fans think. If the Spurs really want to win, they'll go into the luxury tax to do so and stop being so cheap like they've always been because y'all want the player to take less so that the billionaire can have more profits. As soon as a player is hurt or their career is cut short, then we see how cutthroat this business is. Wemby will make the Spurs organization more money than they'll ever pay out to him. Stop thinking everybody should be Duncan. Play him every penny that he's worth.

That's so easy to say when you're not in that position. These players retire in their 30's (*If they actually make it that far*), so they have 30-50 years of living to do. They have lawyers, marketing teams, agents and more people to pay out on a yearly bases to maintain their business. That money will go quick. They should take every penny they can because those paychecks won't be there forever.
Meh or the Holts can sell the team to someone who can afford the luxury tax and doesn’t care about losing money
It’s crazy, but most of these players would be better off not even considering hiring an agent until after they’ve been drafted & signed. Rookie contracts are pretty cut & dried and they could have a contract specialist attorney review it first on a simple fee basis. They may need an agent in the future, but may not. Better to hire an investment advisor and tax attorney who will invest all but a minimum monthly amount for the player to live on. You can spot the players who might have financial problems by the large amounts of bling they wear and the size of the entourage they are seen with. This type of player doesn’t typically play for the Spurs, but there have been exceptions.
I guess that I'm built differently, I would care way more about winning championships. If I made already hundreds of millions as a team owner and was to extend my star player, I would have no problem paying whatever they are worth even if it meant going into the luxury tax to ensure that I can win multiple championships especially if my business was worth billions and I had other businesses generating profits for me as well.
