[allergic2broke]

How does AD get 5 for 145 and Leonard 5 for 90 ?

 

[IATT]

Trying understand how Leonard only got 90 mill and ad got 145.. Kawhi got a finals MVP on the resume

who cares about a finals MVP on the resume. Iggy got that too.

[Nawzlew]

PAID

So......the whole Knicks about to land every free agent talks cooled down quick once it got closer to actual free agency

I'm also wondering how AD's contract is for $145M. I thought the max limit was much less for players in his range in terms of years in the league.

 

[casper90403]

still thinking about AD and him wearing long sleeve t-shirts while playing in high school.

And now this.

 

[jab step]

AD's contract is not for this upcoming season but the next season when the cap does jump. Kawhi's is for this upcoming season. Hence the difference. I'm pretty sure that's the reason, but if I'm wrong, correct me.

Kawhi was drafted in 2011

Davis 2012

Jumping on @FOXSports1 in a few moments.

This is technically news

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Kobe no longer the highest paid player

Nah, that can;t be it.

 

[awwsome]

AD is going to be paid like 29 million a year until he's 27

then is going to be paid 32 million a year until he's like 32, 33 years old

He has a chance to make the most money as long as he stays healthy, unlimited potential.

Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
"LaMarcus, this is Jimmy Buss."
"Nice to meet you, Marcus."

(12 hours later)

"Sources: LaMarcus Aldridge has agreed with the Spurs..."

Thanks for explaining that. Makes sense.

AD getting that Joe Johnson money

 

[thapointguy]

145 million $ eyebrows

Woj can't say New OrleanS

He gets more for being an AS starter and making 1st team All NBA.
