Players make to mcuh money anyway. but yes 45 is low.


Owners have too much money AND make too much money.




Every single player that gets paid to play a professional sport is overpaid. They're getting paid for doing something they love while everyday people bust their ass living paycheck to paycheck.




On top of the money they make they get free everything from sponsors & endorsements... this world is so beyond twisted but it is what it is...


In my opinion no athlete should make more than 2 mil a year... hell at the most 10 mil MAX

That's exactly what they're doing but the players aren't gona go for it even close to that... how can you be on the owners side? These greedy little fucks are ruining sports as we know it...



Such a low cap will ruin the NBA... there would be really good teams & really really bad teams for a loooong time


players are totally overpaid in the NBA imo. obviously 45 is ridiculous and that is not going to happen. by the end of it, will prolly end up anywhere from 55-65. the possiblity of a hard cap will create a lil more parody in the NBA, which is needed.
if NHL players can survive at a $60 million cap with a cap of $11 million per player, so can NBA players

Except NHL players are white and NBA players are greedy niggers.

With a low cap we'll finally see basketball players play the game because they want to be on the court, not for the money.
Supporting this 100%

Lebron/Wade/Bosh all took a cut to be on the same team and win.
Kobe Bryant bitches and calls out his team demanding a trade if they don't get him support but signs a $30mil/yr extension.

NBA will be weeding out the worthless trash like Kobe Bryant and keeping real players in the league.

=S

kobe was making like 2-5 mil/year every single year before he signed the incrementing 2x.xx mil/year contract with interest.
it was like a lifetime achievement thing if you will. its very similar to how jordan's contract timeline was

idk if you're implying bosh is worth more than 16-17 mil a year or wat... but its silly hes the highest paid out of those 3 lol
