Obviously I don't love the deal, but that's the NBA market right now whether you like it or not. What drove his price up? The Goran Dragic and Brandon Knight deals, it's right inbetween them, that's the market man, it is what it is. They're rolling the dice on his potential and their ability to develop him into a star PG. In a couple years every NBA starter signed after the TV deal will be getting 16 Million a year or more, that's just how it goes.
All I can do is hope they are right about his potential. He certainly looked good with us once he found his bearings, averaging 17 PPG, 9 APG, 4.7 RPG after the All-Star break, 27 games. Hopefully he can continue where he left off and continue to improve under SVG's development.

We had a lockout because owners wanted a stricter salary cap to allow smaller market teams to compete, while on the other hand players wanted a bigger salary cap to increase their earning potential.

Reggie Jackson's making roughly the same money as Russell Westbrook, the guy he once backed up.

Westbrook will be making upwards of $30M per year when the cap hits $100M because he's been in the league between 7-9 and players in that circle can get max contracts up to 30% of the league salary cap. Originally Posted by Hey Yo
