Why wouldn’t you take the max bro? You have to take all the money bro! Feed your family bro! Think of all the other players bro! Don’t give billionaires a discount bro! Get paid now bro!

Cuck on Z, WestCoastFaggy, and SoyFlowPro going to cry into their body pillows about this tonight.

And people on this board wonder why Skip Bayless and Screamin A make millions on their rabble rabble tv shows. Because look at this shite…an athlete potentially takes a pay cut to help a team financially and the board will shite on him for being dumb. T


I’d love to hear your explanation on how these things correlate to each other in any way

If it pays off and the Knicks win, he will be a made man in New York.

Must be something in that NY water. Rodgers also gave away around 35 million.

This board is constantly saying that guys are idiots and selfish because they took a max deal, because it will be harder to keep other players on the roster.

So when you have a guy who purposely took a paycut in order to give his team a chance at winning a championship, he is still called an idiot. What gives?

He took less money
Please explain how this is possible when only one offer is on the table

The $113m is simply the difference in what he can physically be paid and what he was paid. This is not cash in hand that he passed on

One injury or gradual mean-reversion and this 1x All-Star’s “discount” becomes overpaying

So he's making enough money to where the next 4 generations of Brunsons never have to work a day in their life while showing that winning is important, and this board is shitting on him for it. Why?

Never in a million years would I even dream of giving up that much money. He needs to get his head examined

I’m sure there is some under the table agreement. I think there were rumors that the Mavs and Dirk did.

He needs his head examined? You’re imagining things that didn’t happen

There is no way the Knicks are giving 32 or 33 year old broken down Brunson a max contract in 2028 or 2029.

Short guards notoriously slow down around 30.

Pretty good breakdown here... it's really more like 37mil he gave up..and his next contract which he can get to quicker now could be over 400mil.
