see, this is what i can't get behind. he's having a great postseason. we can't just ignore the past few years of data because of this.



again, i'm the opposite--i'm looking at guys who just disappointed but who have been very good overall. maybe you can catch someone being silly. as someone else mentioned, this is how you end up with gabe.

when i use this logic to explain why lebron should take one dollar over the mle, i get attacked from all sides, lol. why is it different? because lebron's nearly a billionaire and has been able to benefit from years of max contracts, whereas reaves hasn't gotten the HUGE (by nba standards) payday yet, nor would anyone expect that he'll get another one. of course his agent is pushing for the most money possible.

he said that. his agent is saying max is fair. reaves isn't doing the negotiating, and i HIGHLY doubt he's the guy leaking this stuff to the press. i actually still think reaves will be here on something less than the max, tbh. but if he's here on a max, it is what it is. that probably is his fair market value tbh, and the situation with him (4-5 years left of his prime) and lebron (42 years old) are just night and day for me.
