At more expensive universities it's even more. It's a choice they make. No one is forcing them to do anything. Actually, I'm probably being generous with my figure of 200K. LeBron is going to make 30M next year and that's not enough either. The NBA is a cartel just like the NCAA is. The thing you're ignoring is that it's not just that the players want to get paid what they're worth based on the money they make for other people. Lots and lots of colleges would love to be able to compete financially for players like Ben Simmons or Karl Towns. Or Andrew Luck, if that makes you feel better.

RutgersJetFan Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The Knicks are desperate for a starting center — their top target is Joakim Noah — and a starting shooting guard after the Derrick Rose blockbuster. They are also desperate to fill out a 15-man roster within the confines of the salary cap. They have just five players under contract. 11 hours ago – via New York Post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Im all in on signing Noah and Courtney Lee. This makes the Knicks better. I dont think Noah gets $18 mil per. That said, the cap is much higher now so that equals the percentage for RoLo's contract last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the cap going up, contracts have to be viewed as a % of the cap for comparison sake and not dollar amount. RoLo's contract last year and Noah's presumed $18 mil per is the same value percentage wise to the cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also saw we have an offer out to Lee. Noah deal feels so Knicks-ey, bit competed to these other contracts it's more palatable. Rose and Noah stay healthy, and we've got something... If not, then Same Old Knicks. Does seem like team is being built for the final window of Melo relevancy, and primed for total rebuild in 3-4 years.

SMC Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Noah is better than RoLo who was a JAG so its a good deal in this market. Knicks got better at center. I want Lee. T0m, what disaster is there considering that the NBA just signed a MULTIBILLION dollar TV deal? All these salaries are tied to 50% BRI (basketball related income) meaning that these contracts are already paid for by money coming due to the league. So anyone saying the NBA is headed for disaster or in a bubble is pure ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that Phil has kept all Knicks future 1st rounders and will have future cap space. Porzingis turnes 21 on August 2. In a total rebuild in 3-4 yrs hed only be 24-25 and approaching his prime.
