[a-friend]

[Peep Game]

I'm at the Suns even entertaining giving Knight 5yrs/70 mill. Wow

 

[SneakerProSr.]

In one year giving Brandon Knight that contract won't be funny at all and will be market rate.

Technically it already is

 

[johnnyredstorm]

NBA players are becoming vastly overpaid. But hey God bless.

 

[statis22]

That might be a bargain next offseason.

 

[CP1708]

To me it says more about all the money Sarver wouldn't spend on winners, but givin that 70 now to be mediocre is just

Sarver needs to leave the league already. Bout as clueless as they come.

Yup.

 

[nick.]

does Phoenix have anything resembling a plan?

i have no clue what's going on 

 

[mister friendly]

NBA players arent overpaid

Theres only about 180 legit NBA players in the world

 

[a-friend]

180 is a little mean G.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Been watching Crobe videos for the past half hour. This guy is :x

He looks great on film. Killer size at 6'8'' for a SG and good quickness. Quick gather and release that allows him to shoot the ball at a high point without worrying about contested shots. Shoots with no hitch in his stroke. Drives and finishes at the rim well. Defense is inconsistent but his wingspan and quickness allow him some room for recovery. Arrogant, puts on a show.

He'll make getting League Pass this year feel even better.

 

[a-friend]

Passed on League Pass last year.

I won't make the same mistake this year.

Owners are bringing in billions. How are they becoming overpaid?

Business of sports is forever evolving. Cap goes up, teams making more money, players' salaries adjust accordingly.

 

[rck3sactown]

because we're out here sweeping up theaters after Jurrasic World showings making $9 an hour

Exactly, the most elite players are actually grossly underpaid compared to their worth.


Bron/KD/AD should and would if there was no cap, be getting 60-75 mil per.

 

[CP1708]

No athletes are overpaid. It's the world we live in.

Teachers for our kids might be the most important job in the world, but it generates zero money as no one pays to watch them teach.

Athletes/entertainment generate billions, and they get a small cut of that.

Just the way it is. All these "broke" millionaires, bein paid by "broke" billionaires.

 

[sea manup]

 

 
I need July to hurry up and get here so we can lose Danny Green and rip the band aid off

That's pretty much how I feel about Wes

 

[sea manup]

 

[essential1]

The market dictates the athletes how much they get paid. It's why WNBA players get paid less than $100K.

education swindles far more money out of peoples pockets than professional sports

And it's all the people who have are not even remotely close to the day-to-day interaction / teaching of a child.

And it's all the people who have nothing to do with the day-to-day teaching of a child.

i could go on and on about how the methods of educating our youth are the same as the 1800s and are outdated but i was talking about universities 

90% of university professors should not be paid as what they do is useless

I'm a teacher, so I know quite a bit about it. But I digress.

College profs are paid based on their research. The amount of research grants they can bring = how much they end up getting paid. If you bring in money, you make money. But still yeah a lot of college professors are horrible educators, but decent researchers.

Loser kids who can't pass classes or find a job after graduating need to stop blaming th system for being idiot losers who can't find success.

Wait, did I do that right?

7/8 so close

not passing classes doesnt make you a loser, there are a bunch of career paths that dont require college (and a lot that do, if you drop out of college and want to get into something that requires a degree then you're an idiot).

but yes, if you cant find a job you need to stop blaming the system and look in the mirror. somewhere along the line you could have done something better/different which would have resulted in you being employed rather than looking at yourself in the mirror crying.
