This is B Colangelo bringing it up

Asked if he looked at the Knicks as a threat, Colangelo said, "There's a handful of teams who have the ability to sign him outright. We still remain the most viable option to get the most money and the most years. That's not changing.''

I know that you had some type of fantasy that I was fabricating the basis of the *the 6th year* but all of these guys who work in the NBA know it's a very serious bargaining factor for the team who has the best chance to sign him--his own team. We will have no idea what salaries will be 6 years from now --we just saw a club sold for 175mm that the owner paid 300mm for not long ago. We know that the salary cap could move substantially down in 2 years--why isnt that 6th yer guarantee extremely attractive? If Chris Bosh hurts his knee with he Knicks in year 3 and isnt quite the same player--will Jim Dolan pay him 30 mm after his 5 year contract expires---NO. It's not BRIGGS bringing it up it's B Colangelo.

RIP Crushalot😞

whatever dude.

You want to keep comparing 6 years of one contract to 5 years of another and come to a conclusion that's your business.

I'm way beyond discussing things with you.

To beat the dead horse into dust, I have heard a Nets announcer and an NBA exec on NBATV say that the Cavs if they max out Lebron it will be more than ~$30 million more than they can get on the free market. I guess the same rings true for CB4.

and $30mm doesnt mean much. It really doesnt. $90mm vs. $120mm. Who cares? Personally I would take the $90mm and play in Miami over having to spend my winters in Toronto. Not everyone is about making the most humanly possible. Only bankers and traders care. The rest of the world takes other things into consideration.

Oh yeah. That has to be a killer. But on the plus side they have universal health care.

taxes are comparable as obama put in that huge tax for the higher paid folks in the US.

but the bigger thing is that bosh's company is based in toronto so he will get a ton of tax breaks there.
