Absolutely absurd. No way he'd get that on the open market next off-season.
I agree It may be a little high, but to say he would not get that contract in the open market is crazy. Even with his injury history, I could easily see Buss or Cuban coughing out that kind of money for this dude. He may not be a franchise player but he damn sure looks like one.
Then owners and GMs about the CBA.
can't be worse than the contract extension they gave Agent 0 in 07 tbh.
this clown hasnt done in the league
i dont care he had a late good run near the end of the season, that was nothing
curry is on 10m a year, and this clown will be on 16m? lol
Do you hate every single player in the league?
yes he does, except a few of them like Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins and yeah, Tim Duncan.
didn't the wizards actually have a winning record once Wall came back? that said, contract is absolutely absurd, will hold them back for 5 years, then they'll about cba, market, etc.
that winning record didnt amount to , just another lottery team
this is the next rashard lewis/gilbert arenas/juwan howard-esque type of contract in a few years
lewis and arenas signed those contracts (i believe) in their late 20's. walls contract will end around the time his prime begins, so its a bit different. still, its an overpayment, but not to the degree of the ones you mentioned
John Wall will prove ya'll wrong, tbh.
Agent 0 was born in 1982 so he was only 25 in 07 when he signed that lucrative contract imho. too bad his body wore out too soon, dude was my favorite player back then tbh
ditto. back then my favorite non-spurs in the league were Arenas and Ray AllenAgent 0 was born in 1982 so he was only 25 in 07 when he signed that lucrative contract imho. too bad his body wore out too soon, dude was my favorite player back then tbh
good call on arenas' age though. sucks it didn't work out. dude had NCAA jimmer range, and he did this
I don't see any way players like Leonard, Tristan Thompson or Faried don't get near-max deals now. , Klay Thompson may end up getting more than Curry did.
Wall has Superstar potential unlike thr players you mentioned. Wizards also needs players that can put butts at the Verizon center. Its overpaying him but at the same time they really can't attract marquee players.
i dont like how the max contracts and bonuses are handed out to certain players in the league, whether they are really legit franchise players or a popularity contest part of the new CBA bull
if you are up for a max contract you can negotiate starting salary 25% of the salary cap, if you make any all-nba/defensive teams you can negotiate 30% starting salary
so to get that extra 5% you must achieve to appear on those award teams, but everyone knows those selections are usually popularity contest and players appearing on it without actually earning or deserve to be there, aka kome.....if ur on a small market team or a team without exposure htf are you going to appear on those awarded team selections end of the year?
Yeah, but just let him test the market next year and match. Worst comes to worst, Wall gets a max contract, which is worth less than a max extension. More than likely, he'd get between $8-12 Million a season.
Its a flawed system for sure and I don't like the NBA's guaranteed contracts and the CBA hasnt really done anything to stop these dumb GM's from overpaying but that's the nature of the business, unfortunately.
Btw I agree. Wall is a 8-10 mil player imho.
The Wizards could be a really good team in two years. If they get a good draft pick and find a way to bring in one above-average free agent, they should be able to move up into the top four to six teams in their conference. However, if they have to start paying Wall so much money, they'll get in financial trouble quickly once Beal and Porter are up for new deals. That's what got OKC, Denver and Memphis.
Last year after the All Star break, Wall was without a doubt the 2nd best PG in the league behind CP3. It's overpaying considering he's only put together half of a season, but in that time he established his superstar potential. I don't think the contract is terrible, and i think you guys are woefully undervaluing what John Wall would get on the open market.
on the open market the wiz couldve just match the offer then outbidding themselves now
If he puts together a full season like the 2nd half of last year, he'll be even more expensive than 5/80.
