[BlkMambaGOAT]

OP, you're reachin:lol :lol :lol :lol

[el gringos]

There should be a forum for joke threads. You know it can't be serious when it's about do diaw, Jeramy Lamb, and perry jones deserve max deals. There would be serious conversation if the question was would those guys be rotation players for certain teams.

[dubeta]

Steph Curry no question

[I<3NBA]

currently, there are only 2 players in the league who deserve a max contract. Lebron and KD.

if Rose's health can only be counted on, he could be the 3rd.

[Nikola_]

How much is the max ?

[imnew09]

Gotta bust out excuses when Cavs loses.

OPs tryna say that every team has more players that deserve max than the Cavs

[T_L_P]

Love has a higher PER than all of them, so him.

Isn't that what you said, dubeta?

With some of the players on your list, Andy V would deserve a max contract. Dudes a straight up beast on the boards, always plays hard and stuck with that Cavs team through thick and thin from the great times to the doldrums without any drama at all.

The idea that Lamb and Jones deserve max contracts though is :oldlol: worthy. If they do, then Dion Waiters does as well.

Varejao is old and doesn't really do much aside from getting boards. he has 0 inside moves.

Waiters is also pretty terrible. Alot of his points come from statpadding and him playing minutes on a terrible team. Theres a reason he hasn't made the playoffs.

Ibaka is an average defender with a good jumper, that does not warrant a max contract.

Of course you'll look like a good defender when you play next to Kendrick Perkins.

The only thing Adams can do is draw techs, he's a mediocre defender.

Funny thing is, uneducated "fans" like lebronxrings, who is also dubeta, will think you're joking.

Also, OP, I made a point about Love. Care to address it, or are you too stupid to make an argument against the godly PER stat?

The only team I fully agree with you is the Spurs and their organization is so G they don't get the money they deserve to win.

With the overvalued bigs, you can at least make an argument for Ibaka but Lamb, Jones and Adams haven't done enough yet to talk earning a max contract. In fact, I think rating rookies in general is quite bad because if they deserve it, they'll get that max. It's only a matter of time before players like Kawhi and Davis get maxs, so it's not worth mentioning them.

Jordan already gets paid probably more than he's actually worth. He's a great rim protector and defensive presence but he doesn't do much else and his scoring isn't anywhere near consistent enough while being a free throw liability. Crawford is a great 6th man but you give him the max and he's basically Joe Johnson reborn. Hawes has played great and shined but the last couple of years has been on teams that haven't scratched the playoffs, so he has to prove it with a bigger role on a Playoff team.

This isn't 2010, Gasol is still a very good player and I'm one of the few Laker fans that didn't want to see him get traded. He's not worth the max though. Sometimes, you can get great games from him but there are other games where he's a defensive liability, doesn't rebound like he should and is cold with his shooting. These past couple of years he should have beasted with teams that were less than good and while his stats were still great, they weren't what would be expected from him. One can argue the offense but he actually got his share of post up plays and stuff this past year. Is Gibson really worth the max? He's one of those polarizing people that people debate whether he should be a starting caliber player or not, that's not a max player in my eyes even if he is talented. Butler is on his rookie deal but has a lot of upside, so that one I might give you.

I probably took more time than I needed to respond to this but I was bored enough and figured I'd at least provide some you know, discussion to a thread.

Even though this is an obvious troll thread, you are correct here. If Bosh is worth 120 million for putting up 16/7 on 52%, how is Ibaka not worth AT LEAST that much after averaging 15/9 on 54%? :confusedshrug:

love hasn't made the playoffs. :confusedshrug:
