The old CBA was better for whack MLE-type of players. The new one is better for absolute superstars. Kobe is only making so much money cause he stood with the Lakers his whole career, and signed a plain max contract throughout his 18th season. LeBron and Wade actually never made 20 mil per season in their lives, and are now totally underpaid at 16 mil.
With your first real contract under the new CBA you can start at 30% of the cap when you are a multiple All-Star or MVP. It used to be 25%. Also, your money can go up 2.5 mil per year, it used to be way less. That is way Dwight and Deron will opt out by any means.
Overall the new CBA is much better for players than advertised. I never understood why the media would flip it like the cotton-picking players had been raped by a bunch of masas.

i just remember how players were so eager to sign deals last season, mostly due to the fact that they were tryna make more money than they'd be able to with the new cba. guess the new cba aint that bad after all.

Imho they are almost @ the same level.
p.s. there isn't so much different between $89.2 million and $94.8....

The point is that Durant originally had $74.3, only because he signed his contract a few months earlier. Would you agree that 20 million is a difference? It had to be a slap in the face for him. They decided to apply the new rules to his already signed contract, even though they really didn't have to.

durant needs to build his frame up a little bit to be at his maximum potential.

--- Quote ---One industry source insisted to ESPN.com this week that Rose's new shoe deal with adidas will easily crack nine figures and could legitimately approach the $250 million range -- as in $25 million annually over a 10-year span -- in what is known in the shoe game as a "lifetime" deal.

The nigga gets paid like crazy. Too much for him in my opinion. I didn't even realize Adidas had that much money to throw around. Nigga lacks the charisma to be this marketable. Even LeBron only got like 90 mil, Durant like 75. Rose 250? What the fuck.

that is pretty fuckin ridiculous.....and yea, adidas is probably as big, if not bigger than nike, considering soccer is a much bigger sport than basketball worldwide.
