NBA Free Agency 2016

[AmishDave]

I don't care where anyone signs ... this money they're getting is ****ing STUPID.

Agreed. It doesn't matter if you play 8 mins a game, if you've put on an NBA jersey before your getting 8-30/million a year. Some of these guys I have no idea who they really are and if they were in a room with me I wouldn't know it. If there was no salary cap it would be even worse. LeBron is $100/million a year compared to some of these contracts.

The crappy part is more fans are going to get priced out to pay for these contracts. I don't understand how any athlete would ever choose football over baseball or basketball in high school or college. While in real life the money is crazy, n the world of sports football contracts are crap

I mean I wouldn't know who they are, meaning I can't name some of them. But yes, I'm pretty sure they'd stand out in the crowd But seriously Bismack Biyombo , Soloman Hill, etc other than hearing the name in passing or a highlight of BB in the playoffs for a game or two, I don't understand the $.
