I mean multiple nuggets players looked worse or got hurt again in similar areas after coming back from injury. It was a common theme for their team all season long.

He hasn’t gotten paid yet, if he gets hurt badly all those offers and team interest would be out, and the nuggets wouldn’t come around and say “hey we know you were worth 25ish million, a year, but even though we know we can give you 5 mill a year because no one wants you anymore, heres 25 mill a year cause we feel bad”.

If they wanted him to play through injury they should’ve paid him…

Lol Nuggets fans didn’t seem too sad to see MPJ go after he played through an injury with one arm, fuck them.

Nuggets fans were also saying Braun was buns for playing through injury

Actually yeah lol, I was pleased. Not mad at him, I get why he did it. Also not mad at myself, I don’t feel crazy for thinking that’s what happened.

We already knew

Ask Aaron Gordon his thoughts on this

He isn’t wrong though look at how many players forced an early return and paid for it KD and Klay are the huge ones that come to mind but plenty of non stars have done it.

I mean they would of lowballed the fuck out of him if he played so Rich did his job.

FO will prioritize the roster spot over your injury. It’s fucked up and i think they need better protections to avoid situations like this, but also you want to not have to deal with the same ST injury over and over again because you didn’t rest and the thing with NBA games is that they are high stress and that stress actually does have a taxing affect on your nervous system, therefore making you more susceptible to injury.

Peyton Watson wasn’t the difference for the nuggets this playoffa

No one trusts the Nuggets training staff and doctors. Not the fans, not the agents, not the players. It’s the worst training staff in the league, and that’s saying something. I’m a certified Rich Paul hater and he gave great advice here.

I just don’t even know who watches them it’s crazy. I know people from all walks of life with different interests and I never hear people saying they watch these podcasts. How is this lucrative for these people at all?

Ya it’s too much

You being forced to listen to them, “Clockwork Orange” style or something?

We need more

Max can’t figure out which collar he likes the most so he just wears them both, find a new slant

Such a weak take. No one is forcing you to listen/watch any of them. Why bitch about choices?

Maybe not the person but I would say there’s some people that care about how deals happen and work which is what rich Paul is talking about and literally is the best source for

I think it’s pretty insightful

Speak for yourself. Some of us like hearing about the behind the scenes stuff and don’t have personal vendettas against people we don’t know.

Rich Paul does

I’m interested in what he’s has to say here

Average Celtic fan

Average Celtics fan comment.

What is your problem with him? The fact that he does his job and gets people paid? LeBron isn’t his only client so clearly what the guy does works

People clearly do or these posts wouldn’t be showing up on your feed

This sub does

The guy literally said on his podcast that he was sitting courtside and gave LeBron a look and told him what adjustments to make. I honestly wouldn’t put it past him at this point lol

Rich Paul will reveal himself as LeBron’s unknown father

Well clearly lebron would be nothing without this man. You don’t stay with an agent this annoying for 3 decades without thinking he walks on water! /s

Isn’t that the only role we want him to make sense?

Only making sense here as an agent as opposed to what else?

That’s why he’s probably the most successful agent in the NBA. He’s not just trying to get his players a contract. He’s trying to make sure they’re financially successful and maximize their longevity in the league.

I mean, it’s also just advertising for himself lol. ‘Hey- as an agent, I will give you good advice. Case in point- look at my client who just got paid.’

Duren was battling an injury in the playoffs?

I legit don’t know who would listen to this “podcast” unironically

He’s getting people paid and it upsets people on this sub lol

Its just PR. Every other agent probably says the same thing

Thanks, Rich Paul

What about this situation makes you think that. It seems like he looked after his client.

Austin Reaves was getting a max deal whether he came back rusty from the oblique injury or sat out. He was set. The Lakers don’t and shouldn’t care about online critics.

Peyton Watson had a lot more to lose in the eyes of GMs from a poor playoff performance, with everyone assuming that returning meant he was 100% healthy.

IT forced it and got fked in the ass

Lmfao holy shit we’re glazing dudes sitting out the playoffs? 

Yeah, that Watson guy is regretting life right now.

Richard Paul Jr. 

you just proved his point. there is no gratitude in the nba and he literally would be fucked financially if he reinjured himself badly. this way hes making close to a 100 million dollars.

You mean the guys who were already paid and set?

He isn’t. It’s his job to make sure his players get the most possible money. More often than not, he succeeds.

I’m shocked Peyton got $22 million from anyone. Paul knew what to do to maximize his value
