All while still having a million first round picks over the next half decade.
This is such a bad look

I don’t understand why someone who has made 70 million in his career needs a side hustle.

That side hustle ain’t a lot either most Sportsbook have a limit of 1 million on wins so he throw away a contract for uber a million

I think that might be that tweeters interpretation of a report and not an actual quote. Unless I missed it, Shams never a said that.
If anything this is probably just Paul putting pressure on the Lakers to improve the roster.

gambling is never about the money, it's about the rush and excitement of the potential of winning. yes, even millionaires seek thrills in their lives especially if it's lacking. that's not to say gambling is the proper approach here but it can be a potentially addicting activity for individuals.

I don't know if I like this for the Wolves. Randle is too up and down as a player, he disappeared for the most part when they needed him in the conference finals. I suppose he can always be used as a trade option but the Wolves need to get Edwards a proper number two.
I supported De'Aaron Fox forcing his way out of a franchise that had already wasted the first half of his career and just reset the "days since revealing themselves to be completely incompetent" clock back to zero... but this is a bridge too far even for me. If this is the direction the league is going, it's no wonder McNair couldn't get any deals done. The NBA appears to be headed in the same direction as MLB in completely selling out the integrity of the game to chase higher profits.

That's a reasonable deal for a #2 guy

and because of these higher profits, the NBA asserts themselves with a pointless in-season tournament and play-in tournament instead of allowing hand check rules to return and more leeway from the defense players to play defense. Another great option would be to limit the Playoff rounds instead of having 7 games for every series but that's been discussed time and time again on here.

That’s interesting. What would he get in a new deal I wonder? Cant imagine he gets anywhere close to 20.
We saw it a bit with fvv, where he took a paycut to stay, but got more longterm security. I think guys are looking around the league about how broke every team is and are probably willing to sacrifice some yearly cash just to make sure they have more longterm security
