The Blazers have been so consistently mediocre for so long, and Dame has been Steph's playoff punching bag like three times now. Even their best recent playoff run was just setting themselves up to get swept by the Warriors in humiliating fashion, and this year somehow ended even worse. At age 31 it's probably a good time for Dame to get out. His stock is high right now and frankly I don't think the Blazers have a shot at being a contender while bearing the burden of his 35% supermax. They can't match him with another star and their existing cast has all sorts of problems.

if I were a basketball player and I cared about winning a championship I wouldn’t take a max or supermax deal. but I wouldn’t care about winning a championship, so I would take it.

Salary cap wrangling is wild.

The economics of the NBA are so loving stupid. is this really true for a guy at KD’s level? I could see guys like Dame or Booker or PG tier guys making more endorsement money when they move to a bigger media market, but at the top top LeBron/Durant tier (it’s just them two on it right now) I don’t think it matters that much where you play

Theres no real ceiling on how much money a big star could potentially make. LeBron didn't become a billionaire by sitting in Cleveland.

SVG was going on about the block but I don’t think he realizes how bad the pass was . I don’t blame him it’s hard thinking through stuff in the moment like that

indigi posted:LeBron signed with Nike when he was in Cleveland, he didn’t need to go to Miami (not really a huge market either) to become a billionaire It was still a big step up from Cleveland. The move also let him build a winning team, and I'm certain that winning championships boosts your value as a star quite a lot. Someone like KD going from a perennial loser to having a couple big market rings on his fingers has gotta be worth a ton. Even if a bunch of fans hate him he's still getting league-wide attention and picking up a ton of bandwagon fans. I have no idea how companies decide how much $ to offer on endorsements but I'm sure they're looking at those kinds of analytics.
