    Hopium absolutely. He’s a 25 year old who finished 2nd in the MVP race.

    He will 1000% take the biggest deal possible and we cant hate him for it.

    But, imagine if pulled a ton Brady and got a friendly contract so that way he can damn near guaranteed we will be a contender for years to come.

    That would truly be something. But don’t get your hopes up. Hes taking a shit ton of money.

  2. Probably talking about donations, but I’m down for team friendly deal

    Maybe? If Jalen Brunson is willing to do it, I don’t know if it’d surprise me if Shai did.

    I believe Giannis signed an extension this past offseason when he could’ve waited until this upcoming summer to sign for much more.

  4. I will never expect or even want a player to take a lesser contract than is offered or deserved. At the end of the day, teams are essentially giant corporations, and players shouldn’t prioritize helping them over setting up generational wealth for their family.

    If was to get to that level, I’m thinking hey, I wanna win this ring. I would 100% give up a chunk of cash to keep solid dudes around me.

    If want a solid team that will work for each other and not themselves, this is how you do it.

    Hell Shai could take a 100m paycut and I doubt it would affect his life in the slightest.
