Puma, a novice in the basketball world, bucks conventional wisdom and rolls with a big man.

Anyone remember the TMAC 1 with Adidas? That was one of the most aesthetically pleasing basketball shoes I've seen.

If Puma is willing to make Bagley's shoe line a budget model for the first few years while having good tech I can see Puma attracting a considerable market.

Nice 5-year deal for Bagley.  For comp, KD's was 6 yr / 70mil with a 10 mil bonus.

Now let's sit back and watch New Balance vs. PF Flyers fight it out for Doncic.   :D

Interesting that Puma thinks Bagley is the most marketable player in this draft, and I'm not necessarily saying they are wrong. Just interesting.

Another fine option, of course. 

At the risk of passing along false rumors, folks from Luka's camp have indicated that the budding star appreciates the comfort and durability offered by Rockport, but the color selection and mod options supported by Crocs.

How am I to know that such a rumor isn't a total...crock ;) ::) ;D *groan*?

No idea as to what Fila, Rockport, and PF Flyers (are these only for power forwards? ;) ;D) actually are, however. Can you get them at DSW? ::) ;D

Ok so here's why big men used to hoard outlet shelves in terms of shoes: their shoes were only for bigs. They were too bulky and high off the ground for guards or even wings for the matter. However I don't see the problem with Bagley, his shoe choice before the shoe deal were swing shoes ala LeBron soldiers, which are great every man's shoes. I think he'll be a hit for Puma if he develops into a stud in a big market, he just needs Puma to make actual shoes that fit his profile and are durable+cheap to attract the outdoor market first to build substance for the brand.

I wouldn’t want to play basketball in Puma’s. I’d take less money to play in Nike’s. Forget aesthetics (although I do not like anything Adidas or UA put out), their tech is more advanced.

Puma? What do they know? Might as well wear Big Baller Brand.

Completely on false grounds. Puma has rights to the same foam that Adidas calls Boost, and they have some nice knit technology for uppers. Also before you joke about BBB, do know that their shoes are a partnership with the sneaker brand BrandBlack, which any sneakerhead would tell you has great tech.

I think he wins rookie of the year and don't really think it will be all that close.  He is going to get a lot of minutes and a lot of touches.  He will have great counting stats and the rookie of the year is all about counting stats. 

I know I'm in the minority on this next part, but I don't actually think Sacramento is going to be a dredge and I actually really like their young talent and their fit together.

At least Puma is signing someone who is actually going to play, unlike Nike. BTW, I hope Nike comes out with a “Stay at Home” style of sneaker for their Colin Kaepernick line.

I, smokeablount, have also signed a deal with Puma.

Update: my cat, Kittens B., has also signed a deal with Puma. He is a housecat, not a Puma.

As an "oldhead" a.k.a near 40 year old hiphop lover I`m happy to see this. Puma´s were old school kicks for us in the 90´s and we wore those out of respect for "the culture".
