Not a single one of them niggas should take a paycut this time around
Not a penny less
I see him cashing out this time unless they win a ring or if KD and Westbrook take another paycut but this will be the first time they can get paid 20 million a year if they turn that down I don't know what will break up this team
all it is
serge was big
not playing thabo and collison was just under that.
also rebounding tonight was horrible for the spurs that hurt them a lot.
*waits for it*
Nope, especially after the stunt presti pulled. If presti would've provided a no trade clause harden would be there right now. but he wanted to pay him less and be able to trade him?
nah hoss
26 points (8-19), 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 1 block tonight for Russy. The boy went off! 
Ibaka should've been taken out with like 6 mins left.....tha fuck Scott Brooks wait so long for??
terrible coaching
And it was Durant who actually went over to him and told him to take Serge out. That guy is fucking clueless.
Been telling you family... been telling you.
If he doesn't have sense to make that change, how can he teach?
it all depends on Durant. How he goes I think the rest will go.
Can't do the math off the top of my head but think KD and Westbrook would have to settle for 80-85 million. If they were to leave via free agency most they could get is 75 million. Westbrook actually didn't take advantage of the supermax so if he did it once he can do it again.
Ibaka should at least get 60 million next time if he is willing to take a pay cut because OKC has to know someone will willing give this guy 80 million
he didnt take a paycut so harden could get paid
he took a paycut because he is a fresh off the boat yokel
he took a paycut because he is a fresh off the boat yokel
Exactly
Now why did the heat big 3 take less?
Come on. The guy took a pay cut too keep his team together. It didn't work but he still sacrifice. He could have said Harden signs first and then he would but obviously if he would had did that he would have been moved.
The guy has been loyal to his team and teammates.
Westbrook people always say the kid is selfish but he settle for a 75 million. He qualified for the super max 90-95 million
He settled for 75 million.
OKC PLAYERS did the same thing the spurs players did only difference is they did it with out seeing a championship.
By the time Manu Tim and Parker extensions came they had won chips already.
In game four Pop and the Spurs need to slow the game down.
I was wondering why he was still in the game.
Exactly, Ibaka isn't a max level player.

Steph Curry didn't get a max contact. In fact he makes less than Ibaka, and people actually pay for go see him play.
Ibaka isn't even an all star.
Dude didn't take a pay cut.
They took like 4 to 5 million and that was only Bosh and LeBron. Hell Cleveland and Toronto still orchestrated sign and trade deals so LeBron and Bosh could get more than if they had just left (and they received second round picks and huge trade exceptions. Wade didn't take a pay cut.
They took less so they could keep Haslem.
He could have made more elsewhere
He is getting what he SHOULD be getting but he could have gotten more
Look at the contracts big men have around the league
Larry Sanders is making more than Ibaka, Nene, Javelle McGee, etc
Curry got that deal cuz he hadn't shown he could stay healthy
He couldn't have gotten more, because he was a restricted free agent.
Larry Sanders isn't making more than Ibaka
Ibaka is 4 years 49
Sanders is 4 years 44
Also when Ibaka signed the contract he had only shown that he is a 10 and 8 player...granted 3 blocks
Remember why curry took less because the two seasons before negotiations he was injured. He admitted that was the reason he signed that 40 million contract extension because he just recovered from his ankle surgery and he and his agent didn't feel at the time it was smart to risk becoming a restricted free agent. If he would have got injured again his value would have been shot.
After he signs he has a career season.
Now as for Ibaka this is the NBA big men get paid in this league. If he would have made it to free agency someone would have offer him a 50-60 million contract
Want proof look up Roy Hibbert, Marc Gasol and other big man coming off their rookie contracts and how much other teams made a bid for them
Curry signed that contract out of fear he admitted that. Ibaka signed his to keep his core together
Let's see what okc does with Reggie Jackson in September
He could have.
Ibaka makes it to free agency a team just do the same thing Portland did with Hibbert.
Portland offer Hibbert a 54 million contract and he signed. Remember in the fall of 11 Pacers offer him an extension less than that and he turned it down.
Then Hibbert has a career season makes the all star game and is a beast in the playoffs his value is sky high.
Again restricted free agent just means the market will determine your value.
You think no body would have offer Ibaka 60 million???
He is basically their center
He leads them and is one of the top players in blocks every season
Their defensive anchor
You are crazy if you don't think he could have got more on the open market
Restricted or not
Teams overpay big men
Big men get paid 4s and 5 again history shows it was David Lee worth the contract the Warriors gave him?
What about Nene?? Remember Al Jefferson contract extension? Watch how much Greg Monroe will be paid.
How much did the spurs give Splitter. Again history has shown this is what happens
No, because a team would need that much cap room.
And if you look at the max level deals, they aren't throwing them around. You don't have many Detroit Piston's in the league. Plus how many teams need a four? Almost every team needs a five.
His contract is in line with Horford's
And it's less than Aldridge's, so it's about right.
Greg Monroe is a 5
Al Jefferson plays the 5 in Charlotte
Again, you are comparing centers...and players capable of playing the 5 to 4's. There aren't many good centers in the league, so you need to pay Noah or Hibbert...and hell look at Noah's contract. The same way you over pay point guards, because the league considers them more valuable.
And everyone knows David Lee has one of the worst contracts in the league.
You have anomalies like Lee and Josh Smith that that are dumb deals.
It's like saying Bradley Beal should get a max deal because of Joe Johnson's bad contract.
Ummmmmm portland. They made a 54 million bid for Hibbert and were ready to make a 60 million bid for brook Lopez until the nets beat that offer
Again. Portland a team that has yet to use the supermax or the 4 yr deal who have made bids on big men in 2012 wouldn't had offer Ibaka a max deal?? Knowing that OKC would be too cheap to max the deal.
Hell that was their plan with Roy Hibbert.
Portland had to get their big man on draft day when they traded for Robin Lopez.
Again Portland would have
Man any one who thinks serge wouldn't get paid is crazy.....deandre jordan got a 11 milly a year from the warriors and he cant shoot at all. and wasn't even a defensive presence yet.
Now that I remember Portland was hoping for Ibaka to make it to free agency because they tried to acquire DeAndre Jordan and it fell through. Blazers wanted a player to do the dirty work that LA wouldn't have to worry about
I'm look for the link and post it
I'm look for the link and post it
Here you go mentioning centers again
As mediocre as Lopez and Hibbert are, they are one of the top centers in the league behind Noah, Cousins and Gasol.
Iabaka isn't one of the top power forwards. He's the third option on his team. I'm not sure he could even be a number two.
Is Zach Randolph? Blake? Aldridge? Love?
Yep and after that fell through the Warriors tried to get Tyson Chandler and when that fell through they traded for Bogut and gave him a freaking extension

Again Portland wanted and had interest in Ibaka.
What does top of have to do with it players get over paid Portland tried to get Jordan.
Put it like this u think Sam would have allowed Serge to make it to free agency if he wasn't scared someone would over pay him????:
You dudes like to bring up centers
As a center
Anyone who is seven feet tall and can run up and down the court and score 10 points gets 10 mil.
And Jordan was coming off damn near the same type of year Ibaka was coming off when he inked his deal.
That's cuz he is a power forward but they got him doing center shit
What? Playing defense?
Because he damn sure doesn't rebound, despite having garbage ass Perkins in there.
With his athleticism he should be getting 12 boards a game.

Again if Serge didn't sign that extension Sam would have trade him.
By your logic why would he trade a player that in Ur opinion no one was going to out bid him for
Because Sam knew Ibaka makes to free agency he was getting 50 plus million. Which would have been out of their range again Ibaka settled.
Their was a plan laid out. KD took less, Westbrook took less and Ibaka did too
