He’s the 25th oldest active player in the NBA

Older than Kyrie, Khris Middleton, Tim Hardaway Jr and Rudy Gobert

That just broke my brain lmfao

for the longest time i’d switch him and Norman Powell, but yeah he’s been playing a looooong time lol at this point if a player is older than me, they’re basically a senior citizen on NBA years

It’s amazing he was able to continue his career after that devastating injury he suffered when he hit his head on the door frame outside the locker room.

How is he 35 when Booker’s 29 and from the same draft?

Im 35 💀

if Dwight Powell has a million fans, then i am one of them.

if Dwight Powell has ten fans, then i am one of them.

if Dwight Powell has only one fan then that is me.

if Dwight Powell has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth.

if the world is against Dwight Powell then I am against the world.

Powell was on his way out anyway. Also a lot of vets people say should be in the league shouldn’t be in the league.

I mean minimums are still just minimums for against the cap, right? Vets get a bigger minimum than young players but they all count the same for the cap, except rookies and 2nd years. Plus minimums are prorated, if you can afford a rookie minimum, you would just need to wait like 2-3 weeks into the season to pay the same amount for a vet.

I don’t think it has anything to do with the second apron. He’s not an expensive player at all. The reason he’s not going to be on the Mavericks is because there aren’t enough roster spots, not because paying him would be hard. 

He’s already had a long career. The second apron is more a drag on contracts like Jimmy Butler’s, where he got paid $55M/year for a 35 year old and promptly tore his ACL.

literally wrong and dumb

Let’s take this big bad ominous thing (2nd apron) and blame it for something that happens often (old role players aging out of the league)

It has nothing to do with the apron. He’s just fucking washed.

The 2nd Apron is kind of a fake issue. Teams almost never went over it’s relative number historically, and it’s not a loss for players because players still get 51% of basketball related income no matter what contracts they’re on. Owners think the answer is to give role players terrible contracts but what they actually need to do is not give Paul George a max contract, not pay Brandon Ingram $40m

This doesn’t make sense

Man i wish i could retire at 35

Luka made him look solid, maybe Lamelo could as well

Probably a horrible idea, but I actually thought he looked a bit decent the little bit he played this season lol

Maxi Kleber was supposed to be the next Dirk but Nico shipped his ass too

Dang Luka got the Voldemort treatment.

Why would he not hope to play at least one more season? Of course he wants to make NBA money for as many seasons as possible. This is probably the last opportunity of his life to make this much money annually. 

He’d just end up being Draymond’s punching bag.

Now whether that’s his gameplay or his uncanny ability to attract hits to the face would be a good debate.
