    Yeah, it is what it is. There are even players out there calling Paul George the GOAT. I just thought Steph would know better. He seems like an intelligent guy.

    well, at least it is a pretty solid list.

    We all have our top players we would name, but if you went 3 deep at every position and picked fairly, you are going to have a really solid team. Shaq, Kareem, Hakeem, Wilt, whatever, they are all great.

    Oh my goodness! That’s frightening. Hope he is OK and they can get to the cause of it and fix it.

    eh, they're always absurd until the cap goes up, and it's the new norm.

    that said, i do think the supermax is getting overused a bit. on how many teams would jaylen brown be the best player? that list is almost certainly under 10, right? should the supermax be for such players?

    This is the more likely outcome at this point. If it was some random kid he'd probably take the gamble in order to secure a bag, but Bronny already has generational wealth, so he'll probably be convinced to ditch the sports career if there is even a 1% chance of this reocurring.

    honestly, I could also see Lebron being shaken enough from this that he retires immediately.

    Yep like Beal and Brown are good players but don't think anyone including their agents think they can be the number one guy on a title contender.

    Seems like they need more tiers where top 5 in MVp.voting or 1st team all NBA is the top tier, the another tier for a lower max contract if you make second or third team all NBA. Then a third for the rest.

    Where on Houston's pecking order does he think he'll fall? Guess he got his bag, so he doesn't care.

    I liked his athleticism in summer league, raw but seems like a player worth taking a shot on with the 2 way
