Oh, it sounds a little familiar from the description... On my list of shit to google, I’ll share an article if nobody else does. I’m guessing that’s a state measure justified as capturing revenue they’re losing when compared to someone worth in the state full time? I can’t imagine a legitimate reason.

Why is he worth that much?

Dude hasn't won a finals MVP nor league MVP. But congrats to the Celtics on giving him that huge contract.

Y’all need to stop equating dollars to championships. The teams and owners make billions wether the teams win or loose. So the players should be compensated on par to what the league makes. Per CBA, the players make 51% of the pie, which used to 57% before the 1999:2000 CBA, whichever year the lockout happened. Players would be getting paid a lot more right if they able to win that lockout. The owners knew big money was coming into sports….

Celtics are gonna be in trouble in a couple years. Jayson Tatum is def getting the max next year so soon JT and JB, just those 2 will be making 140M alone. Big 3's are gonna be done. If 2 guys are getting close to 70M each, you gotta fill the rest of the roster out with about 30M.

Celtics could soon be on there way of rebuilding as well. But yeah, I said before they paying players all that money that they won't have money to sign another high caliber player because they won't have money to afford that player unless that player wants to take a huge discount for a 1 yr deal!

Exactly. And owners usually buy teams after making their money elsewhere -- while continuing to stack. So they got the money. But business is business, and everyone has to look out for number 1. Can't get mad at players or owners for doing what is best for them.

I just hate cheap ass owners like the folks who own the Cleveland baseball team. Just sell that shit. Gilbert always spent with the Cavs. Browns owners ain't scared to spend.

Cheap owners are the worst. They are just banking profits.

And that’s why being a professional athlete is dope. If only all companies compensated employees on what they make the company regardless of their contribution to the organization. Look, I dont care either way about what they pay these dudes but be smart with your money and who you’re essentially handcuffing your franchise to cuz regardless of the money the owners make, they still have a salary cap. This ain’t Baseball. They can’t afford to give these contracts to every star player. There’s no way in hell I’ll give you the richest contract in league history to NOT win me titles if I’m an owner. Jaylen Brown should be judged according to his salary now. But that’s my point, these dudes getting paid before they ever win, what will make sure they have that hunger to win. Plenty of fans get robbed cuz now the players are “fat and full” and the fans are helping pay that salary. I’m only a fan and as a fan I want to see my team win. Not see Ben Simmons and Zion Williamson type dudes sitting on the sideline rich as fuck not doing shit and ain’t never done shit.
