Kyrie and Durant had to agree to a bunch of "unlikely" bonuses to get the room to sign Jordan.

That makes me think about Ricky Williams' initial contract with the Saints thanks to sports agent icon Master P. It included this dandy incentive:



I sometimes wonder if the Saints"GM was able to stop himself from cry/laughing during the negotiations.

Read the whole story here, it has some great statistical analysis of how incredibly unlikely most of the incentives were to happen.

Except Ricky did that because he was dumb AF. Kyrie and Durant needed a way to be able to make their salary + have room to keep Deandre happy.

Yeah it sounds like Kyrie and KD are losing out on a couple million or so, which is just a drop in the bucket for them. Ricky on the other hand...

Durant's are considered unlikely, but if the Nets make the playoffs in the pathetic East, he gets his million. If the nets win 43 games, Durant gets that million, too.

Kyrie's are more performance based, but playing in 70 games gets him 125k.

The article said Durant's are considered likely, but Kyrie's were considered unlikely. Therefor KD's count against the cap & Kyrie's don't.

OKC: If we draft enough times, eventually we will get a couple stars.

Remember that time Marcus Morris signed agreed to sign with the spurs but then realized He would have to live in San Antonio and said nah? Decided he wanted to go to a contender like the Knicks instead.

In the last five seasons, the Spurs have made it out of the 2nd round once and 3 times lost in the 1st round.

Sorry nobody wants to play in San Antonio even with the legend Greg Popovich coaching the team. That has to be a tough reality to live in.

Well they sure can't trade that contract so I would expect them to say that.

Neither a die hard Spurs or Rockets fan, so don't have a dog really in that hunt. Have enjoyed watching either depending on the year.

Westbrook + Harden may work or may be a glorious disaster, but either way the reunion of those two top-12-ish players in the NBA on the Rockets this season will be a more fascinating & entertaining watch and story line Than the Spurs this season (unless you are a die hard Spurs fan).

Ignoring the championship in 2014 that was only 5 years/6 seasons ago? Championships are the only thing that matters at the end of the day. Not who made it further in the playoffs. That's participation trophy bull****

As a diehard Spurs fan, they are boring AF as usual.
