What’s petty is getting a $200 million contract with every bell and whistle, laying on the PR for 2 years, and then not doing the bare minimum courteous thing and doing what literally every player does and posting something about it. PS, he was shown some of the most love of any player by his fanbase in the league. It’s a very valid complaint, he’s an arrogant f***. His shoes sold out, 90% of the jerseys in the arena have been his jersey. He has a bridge, he has a store. He has been shown a ridiculous amount of support, then was handed a gold plated contract, and couldn’t even do the bare minimum that literally every player does.

Did anyone see him at summer league this year? No? Has he done a kids camp in Utah since year 1? What a surprise. He hasn’t been involved, he’s been around for PR purposes that worked very well for him in convincing a lot of people he’s a nice guy when he’s a self absorbed bitch. You’ll see him show up for training camp, and leave the day after the Jazz get eliminated from here forward, with little to no involvement whatsoever. The dude has not actually ever done anything but show up to a place he knows some good PR will come out of.

Lolol. You’re so stupid.

Geez dude, give it a rest. Everyone knows you do not like DM. You are obsessed about it like he crapped on your Nike's sneakers. How about you talk about other things besides your hate for DM> It is so tiresome.

He’s a an actual good defender. He didn’t shoot it well this year. I’d see if you could get him on a two way but not gonna burn a roster spot on him at this time.
 


Why don’t they just make him a coach and not have to have him count as a cap number? He played 3 minutes this year and like 4 games the year before.

Maybe they're aiming for Dirk's 21-season record (with one team)?
He will tie Stockton's 19 now (although... not quite the same number of games). Duncan is also at 19, Kobe had 20.

This is when the vet minimum just gets ridiculous. He's literally costing them twice as much as a player with a couple years of experience. $2.6? Yikes.

Haslem is still getting paid for the discount he took to bring in the Heatles.

i don't know why people find this puzzling. He is milking a cap circumvention promise they made years ago. They won't give him 2.6M as a coach because that would be a very clear sign that some shady **** went on. He has them over a barrel because if they don't give him the spot he can spill the beans. $900k of this is covered by the league as well since its a "minimum" deal. They will pray he retires.

I also don't know if there is a years of service calculation in the player's retirement program. I'd guess it caps out at some point.

He's not though... league subsidizes vet minimum contracts. So all minimums are basically the same cost. They didn't want vets getting screwed and younger players getting preferential treatment.

It's the worst kept secret in the league, but people still get surprised every year.
