Big men are much more scarce than Point Guards who grow off trees in today's NBA.

Has any other NBA player ever been called overpaid by other players as often as Lin?
Evan Turner payday am cry. That is a decent contract.
Humphries Dudley fireworks for the Celtics. I can feel it.

I agree. Lin could've gotten way more. I guess Lowe is right is saying his relationship Kenny Atkinson was a big reason why he signed to such a bargain. Really good work by the Brooklyn Nets here.
On the flip side, it's not looking good for my Dallas mavs. Guess nobody wants to play for Cuban.

Seriously...3 years 36 million in this current market is a win for Brooklyn. His contract is solid value still and easily moveable should things not pan out.
Also, BrookLin...

Lol Jarred Jack.. Let the man eat.
Y'all need to think far ahead.. Mozgod punished dubs for most of the time he was on the floor during the 2015 Finals. He's the missing piece Lakers needed to clear the Warriors obstacle.

Does that represent how many turnovers per game he will have?

Please, we've already done the Humphries experiment....
I'm all for Dudley though. Scrappy player that can shoot from outside...

Until the dubs went small ball and punished the Cavs for even letting Mozgof set foot on the floor.

I wonder if Danny was caught off guard by how quickly free agency moved this year. There was obviously tampering out the ass with all the deals being agreed to so quickly.

maybe Lakers wanted to troll the league by signing that huge Mozgov deal? To get all teams to pay huge money for players?

Lakers already beat the Warriors last season. With Mozgov they're going to sweep the season series.
"if no one wants to pay homage to this legendary franchise then fuck you all i'm blowing up the market"
that would be the LA thing to do
Be nice. That will be his career mpg in the NBA

Jazz looking to speak with Dudley or Deng. whatever, need a better bench and depth behind Hayward.
I'm disappointed in people for hating on Lin and Timofey but letting Brad Beal slide. Brad Beal is not worth 120 mill. Timofey was a great pickup for the Cavs in 2015 and gave us quality minutes in 2016. He's not worth 64 mill to the Cavs but the Lakers have to spend money.
I'd love to get on the Jeremy Lin payment program. He made Bron money during the final year of his deal with the Rockets, comes back, and hits up the Nets for the 36 mill. My dream is to be overpaid while everyone hates on me as I cash dem checks every week. Don't worry about me as I hand the haters my deposit slips with my account balance on it as kleenex to wipe away their tears.
Who's the next guy to get overpaid?

Clearly that's the case since he didn't offer Mozgov $60M.
None of their rumored targets have really signed, nor have any of their own players.

Lin at 36 mil for 3 years is underpaid given the market.

If this is the market its a goddamn bargain:

I'm fine when fans are critical of a players contract. It's one of the fun things to talk about when the season is break.. But if you a player and criticize another players contract that's just hypocrisy. Where's the brotherhood at.. Let the dude get his money.
Edit: next guy to get overpaid?
He's getting 17mil per year easy fron someone
Edit: Just saw Cavaliers contracts.. They probably have no choice but to trade Love because they ain't getting a bench with $74mil commited to Him, kyrie, TT and Schump..
yep, Lebrons potential contract is not even included in that lol.

Lin sure I can understand but Mozgov, a guy who had knee surgery and knees are always a shit thing for centers, who played like 1-2 minutes max all playoffs aka garbage time
horrible deal

Happy for J Lin but wish Knicks picked him up instead. I hope he has success with the Nets as much as I hate that franchise.

Would the Lakers fighting for the 8 seed really have convinced any of those guys?
Dog I laughed for 10 minutes when I read that Mozgov contract. It took me a minute to figure out 10 things meaningful things he's done this season. Shout out to his agent for getting that deal done.
There's an NBA rule that states teams have to get within 85 percent of the salary floor. Delly is damn sure getting his 10 mill per from someone. Brandon Jennings with his scrubby gunning ass should get paid whenever his contract is up. There's a guy on your favorite team that's about to get the Hassan treatment and go from barely making the minimum to eating flaming young everyday with his millions. I'm happy, sad, and laughing like shit at the same time at all of this.

They might as well pay him since they won't be able to replace him. Lebron ain't about saving Dan Gilbert money.

Tanking brought us DLO and Ingram. I'd rather be bad and have draft picks than mediocre.
