It’s like Simmons the other day saying teams are going for 8 figures instead of 11. You realize Jaylen Brown was very right about the sports crowd, low bar to compare against

Imagine seeing your personal finances in these terms.

I mean good luck to them but smh.

So over 90k?

Great breaking reporting by windy

But it says it is a very sizable bonus.. even $99,000 is not a big bonus for an NBA GM. 

I listened to the full pod. I’m sure he meant to say “In the 8 figures…. And not \(10 million". The whole context was how it's a huge bonus so Tim wouldn't consider leaving until after it's paid out. He makes \)8m/year regular salary so high 5 figures would only be about 1% of his annual pay.

Lol no, that is the opposite of what you’re saying. That is why it says specifically it’s a very sizable bonus right afterward.

This is obviously meaning 8 figures, there would not be news covering an executive getting a bonus, over a several year period, totaling less than 100k. There are plenty of people on r/nba earning annual bonuses greater than that amount (stock+cash etc).

It’s incredible that people would even question whether this meant tens of thousands of dollars versus tens of millions of dollars, with the added context that it is “very sizable” and not ten exactly (I.e. greater than ten). Come on people

Oh. That would make sense. Maybe the whole thing just translates to text poorly I didn’t have time to watch the clip just found it weird

No chance, my bonus is 5 figures and I’m not in the c-suite. More likely is that he was referring to figures in terms of 1000s.

Yeah I think he had to have misspoke or something because the entire thing doesn’t make sense otherwise.

A \(100k bonus for completing your \)40m contract is not really an incentive to stay, even if it is equity in the team. Connelly pretty clearly wouldn’t pass on another job he wanted to leave for over $100k, and if he somehow was concerned about it, the other team would match or exceed that without even thinking.

I get that, but them describing this as a “giant” or “sizeable bonus” doesn’t make any sense.

A \(100k bonus you get for completing a 5 year, \)40m contract, can’t really be described as a sizeable bonus. At \(100k for five years at \)40m, it’s a 0.25% bonus. I get a higher bonus than that proportionally at my normal ass job every single year, even in a down year.

His biggest move is the Gobert trade which was panned at the time and has led to the most successful era on the franchise’s history. I think it’s really hard to say he hasn’t done well given that context

One thing Connelly did great was building a team to beat Denver

Y’all should bring in Calvin Booth to take you over the finish line. It worked for us
