White bitches

Actually $11M not $9M (yikes) but either way it still goes against all of his best interests! What then, is your arbitrary cut-off where it makes sense to leave? $15M? $25M? $50M?
How come Lebron hasn't gone to overseas, they'll pay $80M

Instead of unlimited contracts, we’re now at mega contracts (sounds like fancy terminology for a max contract but whatever). So now, max contracts become the norm and “mega contracts” are given to the top players.

FWIW, Kevin Durant could’ve signed the same deal with OKC and made $38M/year but signed with the Warriors…

Under this provision, you could easily have the best player in the league signed to the unlimited provision and players 2, 3 and 4 signed to max deals and still have enough to sign role players.

The unlimited contract makes no sense because there isn’t an unlimited supply of $ to give. It would all depend on how much…

Nike pays him to wear their sneakers while he plays basketball for the Cavs, completely dependent stream of revenue. Nike makes a lot less money from him once he stops playing basketball.

He opts out of the deals to restrucutre his contract to give his team a better chance at re-signing/signing free agents.

I wasn’t…

$70M? Lebron usually signs 1+1 deals with player options in the 2nd year. So he’d be leaving more like $5M-$10M on the table. Look at Westbrook’s 3y/$86M contract, if Lebron signs a 2y/$50M contract (1+1 deal) he’s only leaving $3M-$4M on the table.

Not to mention, he has a lifetime contract with Nike. He's going to…

steph can sign a max deal and they can let dray & clay walk or trade them. Sign Lebron and pay westbrook the unlimited contract. now you have the 4 best players in the world on the same team

Right, my whole argument is that several players have already made their $ or make enough from endorsements that they’d would be willing to take less if it meant winning (Miami Heat).

It can work with Curry just like with Lebron. Sign Lebron to a short team deal with player options (he doesn’t need the $ from an NBA…

Right, so basically you’d have the current Warriors roster (currently under the salary cap). Using the unlimited contract exemption, they could offer an unlimited contract to Lebron when he opts out of his current deal without counting against the cap. You just turned the Warriors from a super team to a super duper…

Not saying Lebron doesn’t want to get paid but he’s got enough $ in endorsements that he could take less $ and Cleveland could offer the unlimited contract exemption to another star (Curry, Westbrook, Durant, etc.).

Or in Golden State, where they currently have all stars under contract, Currey/Durant/Green/Thompson…

What a difference ~20 years makes

So it’s safe to assume two parents from Washington State loved the 1995-1996 Seattle Mariners & A-Rod so much that they named their son after him....not so bad~20 years ago, today not so much

How can you take a baseball off the head at 105mph and not have a concussion? Or at the very least, be removed from the game to be tested?

The date was September 3, 2001 (I’ll explain how I remember the exact date). I was 15 years old, dad was away for work, had 3 buddies over to drink and head to a pool party full of 15-16 year old girls. Only problem was we couldn’t buy booze, so we raided my parent’s basement fridge...qty’s might be slightly off but…

Mixon's lawyer...but I agree, still shitty

Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, its bobsled time!

I think you mean ‘Cutter’

I was about 10 years old and was in the hospital for a few days to have my tonsils and adenoids taken out. The nurse came and asked my dad to meet her in the hallway, which scared the shit out of me (thanks nurse)!
