(Although with various endorsement money, $10M is not too much of a blow for KD). On the other hand, from the political economic perspective, this is horrible. It shows that when it is needed. it is always the players and not the owners who must make the sacrifice. Lebron and CP3 must be livid. This is a horrible blow to the CBA. If this continues, I expect a lockout this season or the next. This is simply untrue. Under the CBA 1 player or a team of players/ 1 owner makes a sacrifice. The players/owners as a collective never sacrifice. Every dollar that Durant doesn't earn is a dollar in another players pocket.

What bothers me is that behind all these "selflessness" and "sacrifice" narrative, it undermines all the progress in the CBA that puts the players interests first. This move gives the power right back to the owners. It is not as cut and dry as it seems, but it definitely could be prone to abuse. The CBA puts crappy veterans interests first. It gives the shaft to rookies and elite superstars. Everyone knew that when it was signed. | ||

Everyone knew that when it was signed. it cuts both ways. in baseball, we had guys who had never thrown a pitch in the Majors getting massive deals. a compromise has to be made somewhere as long as total pay for all players is tied to the NBA's over all revenue. | ||

What do you guys think about Cavs vs Celtics? I still have Cavs but probably not a sweep :D. Edit: Haha Hayward to the Celtics is NOT confirmed. | ||

Cavs in 5 if they play average Cavs ball. Cavs in 4 if they learn a motion offense. Cavs in 6 if they play like they did this year during the playoffs. | ||

OKC on a roll. good deal for OKC. i've already posted my thoughts on P. Patterson... the guy is a very smart player. http://www.82games.com/1617/1617TOR2.HTM lineups 3,4,6 and 10.. all with Patterson. The Raptors are gonna miss him something hard. because Patterson's lineups do very well its no surprise him xRAPM (ESPN Real Plus/Minus) is good. Patterson and Lowry's Plus/Minus were within +10 of each other. However, Lowry played 800 more minutes than Patterson. Tellin' ya... this is bad news for the Raptors defense... its going to "mysteriously" get worse this upcoming year. | ||

Cavs is a "superteam", which means they win witout trying and without deserving it and that they in fact are worse than their opponents. + Show Spoiler + J/k but I think Cavs would still win easily. | ||

Four teams "easily" beat the Cavs in the playoffs? They'll have to work a bit harder than "easily" :D. | ||
