opening night on the 21st, that’s when I normally start the new thread…
This year I wanted to start it when preseason start but i’m
Kinda late
 
Allen Icky is my favorite player of all time; Steph is next! he not wrong with this assessment; I would replace Kobe with Magic and put Kareem in their somehow though lol; Thats why top 5 list is so hard...

Shaq isn't even on my top 5 centers list, let alone players.

Wilt
Russell
KAJ
Hakeem
Jokic
 
I mean that shouldn't be hard to match when you have other players that have a high salary with only needing to trade a few players along with draft picks which shouldn't hurt the team too much whoever wants to trade for Giannis.

The problem ain’t Giannis contract. The problem is everyone lose…..Giannis get 50 million…the dudes you trading him for get 40-59 million. You got 160 million in salary with 3 players now you gotta match Giannis and some more guys…it’s just a mess.

I mean if a player like Giannis caliber can help your team to become a contender then any wise gm would take that in to consideration to trade for him..Giannis isn't injury prone, he's durable and can help a team out there doing it all on the court.
The issue is the CBA; 1, you have to match salaries which is dumb ass hell; 2, the new CBA restricts adding up salaries to match salaries depending on what apron the team is in; 3, wants you finished matching salaries now the team has nothing left because the player makes so match; only a handful of players make that much that either will be traded and or might be traded and or wants to be traded; 4, the CBA also punish teams for trading when you get to certain aprons with draft picks shit and taking away money and exemptions from the team; its a stupid CBA and its because the dumb ass owners always screaming poor and nobody wants to play for them...
