Would you feel better if Cuban had offered JB $150/5? It sounds like that much wouldn't have even changed his mind. I don't know about you but I would not be a happy camper today if money like that had even just been offered in a token fashion to JB.
I get it that JB is a fan fave. Doesn't make him a $100 million dollar player.
McGee is only getting about $5.5 M per year. That's much better than Powell's $11 million this next year.
How much did we give for Barnes? Was he an All Star? Wasn’t he a bigger gamble than JB? I am not seeing JB’s contract as outlandish at all. You think if he had given the Heat a fair chance they would have offered much less? That’s a top notch organization who wanted him as well.
There was a stat about him being one of the best mid range shooters and he shot a lot too. Plus he could create his own shot. It’s not just about the money. Boban at 7 mill was an overpay. Powell at 11mill similarly. Javale at a 3 year deal of 20 mill given his age and what he will bring is an overpay compared to what JB will make.
