Hayward, Kirilenko, and the myth of "The Max"

[The Blue Elephant]

Hayward is not good enough to be the face of a franchise, but only a handful of NBA players are, and they make more money than G-Time. (Rookie deals of a few superstars being the only exception)

Steph Curry, Tony Parker, Kevin Love, DeMarcus Cousins, Harden, John Wall, Rondo, Joakim Noah, Goran Dragic, Lamarcus Aldridge, Derrick Favors, and Tim Duncan make less money then Gordon.

None of these are rookie contracts. Worst contract since Hedo Turkoglu, Gerald Wallace etc.

but you smugly dismissed the fact that a yearly salary during that time couldn't equal more than 25% of the cap when in fact it can and did in the case of AK's 2010-2011 season.

Maybe you can point that out in this thread or anywhere else; I can't seem to find where I did anything like that. Can you not read?

Given your Ute logo avatar, I probably shouldn't be surprised.

Ah, you didn't need to insult all Utes. My neighbors are Ute fans and they're just ... never mind, flame away.

Uh...You might want to look up the definition of "each". AK's contract did not take up 30% of the cap in "each" season as you claimed. What I posted was 100% accurate.


Nope. I negged you for the same reason I insulted this thread: The best argument you can muster is "if you disagree with me there must be something wrong with you".

In short, you're an idiot. You seem only capable of stating opinions and insulting those who disagree with your opinions. Given your Ute logo avatar, I probably shouldn't be surprised.

Easy there, buddy.

So you were 'technically correct,' which we all know is the best kind of correct. Nevermind the point he was making about the two situations dissimarity, which your nitpicking didn't address at all really. But you scored some cheap points so good for you I guess.

you are right, we shouldnt complain.

I hope we max all of our players tbh.

If Hayward's getting maxed, why shouldn't Burks and Kanter?

I love the argument that this deal occurs in a timeless vacuum where the Jazz just have cap space they need to spend for all of time.

And I'll stand by my belief that Utah has one of the dumbest fan bases in the NBA. You only help further my belief.

So, you screw up some facts, and the person that presents the accurate information is proof of the dumbness of the fan base? I'm sorry your feelings got hurt, but someone being mean =/= someone being dumb. I hope this isn't a revelation to you.

I believe saying that Hayward wasn't worth 20% of the cap addresses the point completely, actually.

Within a year, Hayward will be regarded as one of the worst contracts in the league. Whoever pays that contract will be the laughing stock of the NBA, and for a rebuilding team like Utah, it could set us back years. I honestly believe we're about to find out just how much the Millers are involved in this. The absolute only reason for matching is ticket sales. If DL is trusted to rebuild the team in the right way, no ****ing way he matches this. No ****ing way.

All of that is true, and it doesn't matter one bit that AKs contract may have been worse. That argument makes zero sense.
