All the contracts on the roster are designed to accommodate this. If you seriously think Wiggins is worth that much money, then I don't know what to tell you.

Wiggins today? No. Wiggins in a few years when the money kicks in? Hopefully. But like @Rhom said, that's what you've got to pay guys now. And when you compare his contract to some of the dudes making >$25m, it's not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briantw Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Remember when everyone thought the Cavs were crazy for trading away Wiggins' potential. Yeah, I for one am glad to not be the team paying him 150 million. That's absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I for one am glad to not be the team paying him 150 million. That's absurd. it all depends. If he doesn't make any significant improvements over the next few years then yeah, it's a bad contract. But as I said, if he does become a legit two way player the deal will look fine. Wiggins has improved every year he's been in the league and he's only 22. If he can be a little more consistent from outside and step his defensive game up he will become one of the best two way players in the NBA.

briantw Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I think Melo might be about to be traded. Edit: Nevermind. Guess it was a Kyrie Irving trade demand. Knew something was about to drop, but not what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew something was about to drop, but not what. That's what I was just coming to post. "Sources" say Kyrie has requested a trade. Okay, anything I said in the last 24 hours or so about the Cavs having a "punchers' chance" against GSW next year... forget I ever said that. He wants a "bigger role"???? Excuse me son... didn't you have that before LeBron got there and your team wound up with the worst record in the league???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's NBA, you really don't see stars moving to try for a bigger role any more. The new trend is to take the Durant route (or more accurately the first LeBron departure route) in an effort to be a smaller part of something bigger.

I have to imagine it wouldn't be necessarily be easy to play in LeBron's shadow 24-7. I guess we'll find out as this plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relic Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Let him go to the Spurs. Would make the thread title even more relevant. I'm predicting LeBron in Houston, with Melo and eventually Wade on a vet's minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
