I mean, Curry is getting 40 FORTY MILLION PER SEASON

LOWRY OVER 33 PER YEAR

JJ 23 million?!

Imagine what's going through the minds of guys like Pierce, KG, Vince Carter

Lol what a time to be in your prime and a decent player. Otto Porter is now a max guy?

Good for them. It's certainly better than the alternative.

You can sort of wrap your head around giving Lowry this top money as a perennial all star. If you spend 34 million on jj reddick and Amir Johnson it is hard to stomach

The problem is though, there are a ton of free agents left that haven't signed and not a lot of cap space left lol

Imagine having to sign Lowrys check tho

The Kyle Lowry three-year $100M contract now pushes Toronto into the luxury tax for the first time since the 2003-04 season. The Raptors have $132.4M in salary with 14 players under contract. The current tax bill is $24.1M.

they got 1 year contracts. If it didn't go to them it would have just gone to the current players
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah
Deep Bench - Korver, Turner

Is Zeller going to get a deal like 3 years 35 million?

I disagree. You have to pay a premium to get guys to take fewer years.

That's a lot of money to pay for another second-round exit!!!

Imagine if the cba was like before, where teams could pay whatever they wanted with no penalties. Lebron would be getting like 100 million a year.
