The Official 2025/2026 NBA Season - The New York Knicks Are The 2026 NBA CHAMPIONS!!!

All I'm saying

Players have been making side deals and giving up money KNOWING they gonna get it back somehow

Irony sidebar?

Duncan and Dirk both in Texas both hall of fame both took serious pay cuts to help the team

And both got scammed out of millions by women.
Did you hear Dwyane Wade? He never got that 20 million back, because that's 20 MILLION!!! The management of the Miami let it be known that he'll get it back one day, however when that one day came, those bastards low-balled him. In capitalism, you earn what you leverage and once Wade didn't have the leverage, they were financially through with him in terms of the high salary aspect of his stint with Heat.

I'll put it to you straight then, you have faith in the good-will of the ownership class to pay the players under the table without an under the table contract when it come to player discounts, however I don't. Just like I said Dywane Wade gave the team a player discount and there wasn't even a couch, a table, or a work bench to be paid under. There was nothing.

Homie, most of the ownership class have not made their money being 'nice and fair' to employees, like Jalen is playing elite hardball hoops on the court, the ownership class does the same with their monied interests. They are led by raw naked greed.

Again, I don't trust them while you do.

You read the part where I said - I aint saying you should do it and I aint saying its safe?
 
Again, you believe in good-will of the ownership class and I don't. That's our difference.

again... you not listening - I never said that.

I specifically said you better have your dad and your godfather working for the company AT LEAST.

My point being there are very unique situations where I understand certain players risking that.

there is also whole corrupt system beyond contracts where players get money under the table if they at that level.

I would NEVER tell a player to do that type deal

And a player should not trust the organization the league or the fans or the sponsors or any paid endorsements

I'll show you exactly what you said, this is what you said:

i said this too



So wtf you saying?
"If your daddy aint the assistant coach and the team president aint your godfather???

Tell em to f**k off and pay you." -----This is what you said and it makes no sense.

So what , his father is an assistant coach, what does that have to do with anything? & that 'team president' comment is random, what does that have to do with giving the team a 113 million discount, huh?

You just said that because you want to play both sides, you want to talk about ownership undercover payments like that's a good thing while praising Jalen Brunson's discount because his father is assistant coach and his godfather is team president.

Bro, make it make sense! That's some 'playing both sides' logic.
 

This is exactly how the salary cap is supposed to work to not create superteams and have parity. You can sign two max guys but if you have 3 then you run into the problem the Thunder have next season & the Spurs will have in a couple years. You can sign Shai, Chet & Jay, then Wemby, Castle & Dylan soon to be at max, 3 guys then you either pay 200m a year in luxury tax or have the rest of the team at near minimum salaries. Spurs got lucky drafting so high in the draft for their big 3 but the new tanking rules won't let you sit your star player that could come back at the end of the season for a better draft pick.

I think that resigning a max player your team drafted, you should get 15% in salary cap relief to promote good drafting by GM's. Chet & Jay count 82M on the salary cap next season, but because the Thunder drafted them, Shai was a trade so he won't count, under the Chemist Max Salary Cap Relief Proposal, the Thunder will save 12M by signing those two to a max contract. Huge savings when your team is in the 2nd apron.
