Dirk easily over Tatum or Jaylen…………not even a discussion!!!!
These professional sports contracts are ridiculous. I get it… they are getting what the “market” says they can get. But these numbers are out of control
Broussard usually on the money but Dirk not being top 25 is pure blasphemy
Maby Brown can buy a ring from Steph now 😂😂
They banking on kristaps being the best 3rd option but they need a table setter a pass first point guard
If I'm joker.. I'm calling the nuggets I want 5 yr 600 million
Broh put some respek on Dirk
This has to be said for brou to be the nba guy his nba takes are trash.Look up Dirk post season averages he is clearly a top 25 guy by a fkn mile.I’ll never forget when him n kg met when they were very young in the playoffs Dirk demolished em.
Congratulations to him
This guy's did nothing in the finals and now he makes, correct me if I'm wrong the highest paid player
Rip bawston. 0 rings incoming
He's not worth it and not worth that much of your cap.
Just to think, nxt year JB making 59,500$ an hour. You brokies barely making 15$ an hour😂😂😂😂
Bron deserves more, he's the GOAT
Lol why is Dirk catching strays? He's one of my fave players all time
Just to think, nxt year JB making 59,500$ an hour. You brokies barely making 15$ an hour😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and here I am paying $1800 for a 1 bedroom. This guy gets 304MIL 5yr contract and can’t win a championship😢
Brou acts like giving up on 50 Million is just an easy thing lol
I’d trade Tatum before before brown 🤷♂️
Broussard said the best thing quietly under his breath in all this. The middle-class player is getting squeezed out. With these top players eating half the cap, the rest will have to take less to fit on these rosters. And they said it best brown is a number 2 but getting paid as a number 1. Just because max contracts are available to players doesn't mean these teams must pay them max. Moving forward, how are they going to keep players like white while dealing with cap. The sad thing is if they don't pay him, someone else will pay him so the Celtics are stuck.
Nick big nose should never be allowed to talk Celtics basketball ever
Chris’s Dirk hate is embarrassing illogical nonsense.
Here is the list of players EVER to play 68+ PLAYOFF games (to include Jokic) and average 25+ PPG 10+ RBG (who have won title and Finals MVP):
Hakeem
Dirk
Giannis
Jokic
Dirk has the most WIN Shares out of all of them in the PLAYOFFS (23.1, Hakeem 22.6, Jokic 12.6, Giannis 11.2)!
Even if you add players who have not won a title it’s just Elgin Baylor who is widely regarded as a top15-30 somewhere GOAT as well!
Dirk is undoubtedly in the top13-23 GOAT range and it can be argued anywhere in-between with about 15 other guys where they go.
In Dirk’s prime from 2002-2011 PLAYOFFS in 111 games he AVERAGED
26 PPG
11 RBG
3 APG
1.1 SPG
1 BPG
47/40/89
25 PER
Two amazing runs to the finals including 2011 where he closed the deal with a top5 run ever!
06-11 Playoffs in 71 games he averaged
27
10
3
2stocks
60.2 TS%
26.2 PER
.231 WS/48 (only MJ LeBron Jokic have a career WS/48 > .226 post George Mikan and Dirk WS/48 in playoffs career .184 is 16th all time post George Mikan)
7.5 BPM (all time for their playoff career only MJ LeBron Jokic Kawhi Giannis Magic have > 7.5 BPM…Kawhi would be top15-20 too if healthy more)
2 finals trips never with another top25 player in the NBA as a teammate!
My thing is why so many people care about someone else’s pockets especially when those fans who like other teams
Jalen brown getting 69 million in 2028 😮
I have to write a personal letter to Chris regarding his Dirk take
I must be crazy because I don't see a difference between Brown and Tatum talent level. I'll give Brown a notch for being a better Defender. Boston must be paying the media to hype up Tatum.
Does Nick think the Heat won't offer Bam a huge contract?
Bucks are cooking Celtics for sure miami Is too if they get dame. Or if herro is healthy…losing smart was BIG idc what anyone says
How many more times can they keep raising players salaries🤔 There's no way Jalen Brown or any other players should be making more than Lebron, Steph or Giannis no matter what the market say😮💨 Win 1st and then discuss top tier contracts.
Rich get richer even in nba.
This was nicks worse nightmare
Dirk is top 25, i you choose to not know sports and disagree then that's on you
Tatum will win regular season mvp, and fmvp next year.
Say bye bye to Celtics championship
Brou is right about dirk he lost to an 8 seed as a 1 seed
The fact that he’s gonna be making like 70 a million is absolutely crazy but brou is right other players who may not be as good will eventually get way more
Warriors didn't have a top 25 player in '15 or '22. Sometimes the champion just gets lucky by playing injured teams throughout the plays, and sometimes teams have a deep enough roster to wear the other team down. Warriors were both in their first and last title runs.
Ridiculous price for a turnover machine.
All that money for what ? What has he done ???
whatever happened to John wall
Noone is worth this
After his performance in the playoffs last year, 300 million is an absurd amount to play a player of his caliber…
😭
Vow 70 million in last year. Considering the salary cap having a single player getting 70 million and tatum another super max candidate, how one can build a respectful team to have a chance to win. Bad contract basketball wise. But good for Brown. And for celtics tontrade him going ahead they would need half a team in exchange 😂
