    His salary better be cut then. Imagine any of you wanted full pay but showed up for work 80% of the time?

    if the people I work for agreed to a contract saying I get the money no matter if I show up or not I would expect the money, no matter if I show up or not.

    There’s a misconception that NBA contracts are required to be guaranteed. They aren’t. There is no language requiring you offer contracts that pay the same no matter how the player performs or is capable of performing. Teams just choose to do it because there is always another team ready to take your player if you won’t guarantee the contract.

    Easy to hypothetically stand on principal till you realize that that hearing to it only means you’re gonna lose every single player who has options so winning is impossible.

    It isn’t enough for you to be willing to lose. Every single owner has to agree not to compete. And that brings a number of much bigger problems that aren’t worth the trouble.

    I did write that from my actual home, but I just returned from a couple weeks away due to power outages. I was in Orlando specifically for a Ramen place I like before going to Virginia Beach to wait it out.

    but if I did still work, and my contract said I would be paid even if I were off bullshitting in San Diego I would insist I be paid.

    Dude didn’t come out of a game the whole season other than when he was kicked out for a fight.
    That same season, the Warriors had 14 back to backs, 9 3-day stretches, 2 4-day stretches, and this 5 day stretch. But Wilt only averaged 48.5 minutes per game that year.

    Embiid would be taking off at least 27 games with his new rule (assuming he doesn’t get hurt 😄).

    Yea.

    as of right now, there are nine players in history with 300 million in career earnings. Seven of them are in the league right now. That list is gonna be a hell of a lot longer soon.

    there are two players with an individual $300 million contract on the Celtics alone. Six players on the Celtics either already have or are scheduled to make more in one season than Kobe made in any season of his career despite being the highest paid player in the league for seven consecutive years ending in 2016. That’s how much the money has gone up and how quickly it happened.

    An nba star is a half billion career earner now if he so much as stays healthy.

    Wemby is gonna sign for 450 in 3 years. And he won’t even be the first to get 400. That’s gonna be SGA.

    These people are all half a billion earners without counting shoe deals and off court dealings.

    They all have too much money to dictate terms to.

    I got to the point I would quit before inconveniencing myself a little before Covid and that’s exactly what I did. And I damn sure don’t have NBA money. I don’t have 80s nba money.

    These people are too rich to respect a boss.

    And I can’t blame them.

    There comes a point im just not being told what to do anymore. And it’s well short of a half billion.

    They’re richer than a lot of the individuals in ownership groups. These guys are signing individual contracts for more money than the previous era of owners sold their teams for.

    And I don’t mean 50 years ago. The 76ers were purchased for 287 million the season before Embiid was drafted.

    The 76ers cost less than Jaylen Brown.

    Owners have very little leeway in that situation. Some real Batman/Joker shit

    So much for any chance of HCA. I can't imagine that's gonna be good for locker room morale.
