The money is out of this world

Human cash is useless to him on Glorpio 7 though

he took a 5% cut (50 mill) to give the team some cap space for trades/signing

the inconvenience of being 7’4”, maybe worth it

Ballin like his daddy

and it’s gonna be 50 mil higher than that as long as he plays 65 games

edit: i am wrong! he did take a discount. no escalators

Well of course, he wasn’t going to settle for just $251 million.

Inflation

Correct. He had two max contracts available (\(251mil and \)300+ mil). He took the max on the lower number contract.

And it’s an ACTUAL *paycut, not just timing related.

Edit: I mean this is the actual version of the thing everyone was saying Brunson did if he took the 25 instead of the 30.

He also guarantees that money now by not risking injury the next year

I’m sure he’ll be okay

Yeah wow that’s actually huge. Getting paid less than Jaylen Brown for the next 5 years will help a lot. Damn

he wasn’t eligible for it yet, he would have had to have made all NBA, won DPOY or won MVP this upcoming season.

which is great for spurs fans – now you can root for him to win awards without any salary cap ramifications.

he needed to win awards next season to qualify for the 300 (which obviously he didn’t take that anyways). if he doesn’t play 65 games next season, this would be the max anyways.

At this price you better take the stairs.

This is a pay cut.

It’s 25% of the cap instead of 30%. But idk if he’s eligible for 30% yet so idk how that will work

… is everyone in here just a moron? This literally is a pay cut, a significant one, he took the 25% max not the 30

He’s going full American.

Wait til you dummies see the follow up tweet lmao

He saw Herro getting hit and thought to himself that anything could happen 😭

He was eligible for 30% of the cap 300 million contract and most people were saying he will take that. This is still a a pay cut.

This is a paycut, he was eligible for 30%

To everyone replying “hE dId TaKe A pAyCuT”.

Casually mocking people for correcting your inaccurate take

Apparently he could have done a 300 million deal, so pretty good discount.

Imagine being so salty that you’re just wrong and get that defensive in your edit lmfao

They don’t know his max was $300 million 

Even in our own sub they still think he took the 30%. Reading is hard though cant blame some

The internet is full of max cynical opinions at all times.

because the report two hours ago was about him taking less than this amount lol

People also believe Brunson took a discount when he took the max available contract at that time.

Because he hasn’t qualified for the 30%. He would have to play 65 games and qualify this coming season. We all expect him to but it’s weird framing to call it a pay cut when there’s a IF statement.

Am I taking a pay cut if I decline to work overtime that would pay me more IF I worked an extra shift? The boss said he’s schedule me whenever I wanted. But I still have to actually work the hours to get the OT pay.

Reaves making almost as much as Wemby 😭😭

He left 50m on the table, this is technically a max but not the best max that could be offered to him.

Call me crazy, but Wemby at $50 million a year is still a good value

He did. 

lol bye fox

Nah. He took a pay cut.

Yes

it’s literally a raise, on what he was making prior

he did leave money on the table

Brother he got collusion there don’t worry he’s taken care of

Wemby being an international star doesn’t need to go the Kawhi route. He is about to milk France just like Ohtani does w Japan.

He was born to be a Spur and go the Duncan route

It is a paycut.

Its actually kind of messed up. The wrong people make sacrifices. Not getting your worth just doesn’t sit right with me.

there is no alternative as long as there is a salary cap of any kind. as long as a team can build a better roster by paying players less money, taking a pay cut will provide a competitive advantage
