Re: 2016/17 NBA Season

The Wizards have signed Potter for 4 year making a $106.5 million max contract making him.the highest paid player next season at $24.8 million for the Wizards all i can say after this move is RIP Wizards honestly i have no idea why teams constantly are willing to pay guys who barely move the needle.

That's a big contract for Potter.

I don't know why there are teams that are paying big if they can get some rookies who are playing good.

Well we can't interfere with their decisions. It's their money.

There's big difference about Rookies and big contract old players. The rookies are under observeation if their performance will click with the season. Because other rookies were beast in their collegiate league but suffering in adoptation in the world of NBA. If the team wants to win the season they have to pay with it. Its their passion every players continuing improve themselves as their dream to bwcime a star.

Look on how much Derrick Rose' contract supposed to be in Cavs.. only $3.5 M if I'm not mistaken.

But well this is how the NBA management gives contract to the rookies, it's bigger than the older ones.

Because they are more powerful and has still strength to play better.

Because Derick Rose is not the same anymore. Post injury shows that he's explosiveness is somewhat not the same and plus he is injury prone. Last season he didn't complete the full 83 games if I'm not mistaken and miss a lot of (crucial?)games. If he is the same Rose that we knew when he once burst into the NBA, then he will surely get max contract and still with the Bulls. If he can proved after 1 season with Cavs then surely they will re-sign him with bigger contract.

yeah I don't think it's arguable that Rose was the vastly better player when healthy. Wall is more consistent and a better playmaker, but Rose was literally a one man show from the "point guard" position. I hate how people discount how good Rose really was - if he and Noah remained relatively healthy the Bulls probably have a Finals appearance or two in the past half decade the Wizards also have signed John Wall a a four year deal for a $170 million extension to be honest it's a massive overpay for a player can't shoot.
