I assumed we’d all agree player production means basketball performance not ticket sales, that’s why max/super max criteria is things like all nba selections not jerseys sold

Wonder how retired players feel like are they happy for the next generation or do people like Scottie end up bitter that they made less than league minimum

I guess it depends on what kind of culture you want to promote, Timmy D took major salary cuts as his production dropped and he got older which atleast in my head is sending out the message of here the team and it’s performance always comes first. Obviously you can’t blame Kobe for taking the bag he was offered but I just don’t like organizations promoting the star is bigger than the team

Yeah I think you’re right this situation is probably the worst of all, getting paid to score on the team paying you is crazy

Why didn’t they ship him off if they were tanking was it to meet the minimum salary cap or did no team want him?

No it’s a fair critique, I’m not a fan of legacy contracts so that probably factored into why I used the example and like you said he put enough people in seats to makeup the money anyway

I’d honestly never heard of him before, looked him up and the man’s nickname was Jon contract 😂. Definitely up there, he even got decent minutes just did nothing
