Basically it’s the player’s maximal best case scenario argument, not their floor and it’s not the sort of leverage that they exercise and part of why the teams sold for what they did recently is entirely based on ownership knowing what player salaries would likely cost them.

The 1 issue is it assumes that anything less than 50% is unfair. NBA players didn’t get that until locking out in 2016 and they had been making a profit every year. The NBA is going to say you’re asking for 50% based on future forecasting and ignoring the history of subsidizing the league.

That’s because teams tend to play base defense. I get your perspective. But if you’re struggling against even that - it’s a sign. I remember when Aaron Rodgers came in during a preseason game and looked incredible. And you just knew those tools would translate if he had the mental part.

You continue to false assert things. You insulted my intelligence and claimed that you were somehow presenting information to me in a way that I wasn’t accustomed to - all because I - and my entire Ivy League POC friend group don’t agree with you. I guess our brains are too small. Do better.

You’re being disrespectful and sadly passive aggressive. I’m confident that my overly educated friend group knows how to listen very well. The general consensus is you heard what you wanted to hear based on your own bias. I’ll just remove myself from following you/commenting. Good day.

Tbh, you’re the only person I know who listened to that clip and had that takeaway - regardless of overall perspective. Like, I wouldn’t have even had that thought if not for your post.

I disagree. They would’ve wasted him. They need a lot.
