I’m on a cruise right now in the Caribbean. So I’m starting with a glass of champagne, switching to margaritas at lunch, then on to the hard stuff later tonight. I’ll probably gain 5 lbs on this trip, Deng would be so proud of me.
it's up there, but there are a few worse ones that come to mind parsons getting 4 yrs/94 mil from memphis jim mcilviane 7 yrs/34 mil from seattle
jerome james was a mcilvaine special, too. but i mean, wall has barely played since signing a 200 million dollar deal. that's pretty shocking. the year we mozdenged, there were several contracts as or nearly as bad (biyombo, ryan anderson, etc.), too. didn't miami sign that little white guy to 4/80 on an RFA thing? but we get killed for THT at 3/30.
wall's contract will probably be up there as well unless he returns to form another bad one is arenas's 6 yr/111 mil contract he signed with the wizards in 08
yeah, there needs to be some context for the worst contract award. wall and arenas were both nearly worth it, but injuries ruined it. deng just sucked. white kid miami whose name escapes me but made even more than deng also just sucked. ryan anderson (again, more money than deng) just sucked. these are maybe worse, right? even though the financial commitment was half or less.
yeah, miami gets a pass on a lot of things because riley, but they've had some doozies. luckily for them, ownership doesn't let guys like caruso walk because they signed guys like robinson to 20 per.
You know there are few people I'm jealous of. 1) Charlie Sheen. CBS paid him $100m to go away. I would love to destroy my work life to the degree that they give me $100m to stop coming in to work. But then Deng is definitely up there too. The level of ski-maskery is truly impressive.
i'm somehow still angry at how out of shape he showed up after signing with us. just unprofessional. seeing him gives me basketball ptsd. there should be a warning on luol deng pictures here.
