Umm how accurate is this? Queen James is making the same as the dinosaur? knicks wasting there money and getting no results lol funny.
ReplyDeleteIdk if they still have the sane contract but didn't the big 3 from Miami take less money so they could all be on the heat ...?
DeleteB4 yall haters get started i will say kobe leads the league n jersey sells worldwide or atleast oversees. Lakers r the only team to sellout on the road n 2013 and kobe smply has more rings than any other active player. And if i wade im not takin a penny less than bron or bosh, fuck that.
ReplyDeleteIts not always about the money ...granted they are some of the "best" athletes in their sport ...some play for the love of the game not all are in it for the moolah
DeleteLamebron, bosh, and wade money is so close cuz wen dey signed together they got damn there the same contacts by taking less money so the heat could afford to sign them all. Thats why bosh and james are making the same and wade a lil more cuz lets face it , it was his team dey came to.
ReplyDeleteD wade is making a tiny bit less. Kobe is only making that much cause its like his last two years of his contract. This is just the money they make.for playing.. nothing else. It has nothkng to do with that bullshit preech b talking about. Its just salaries. Not endorsements not Jersey sales.
ReplyDeletePlease everyone do me a favor n lets not start a argument about how much another man is gettin paid especially wen none of us aint seeing not one dime of it...not to mention this just shows nba salary im sure if endorsements were added the order would drastically change.
ReplyDeleteClint
Well said!....
ReplyDeleteWell said!....
ReplyDeleteTrue. But that bullshit that im talkin about is the money that the lakers and the nba make off kobe.
DeleteVery true, its numbers from their contracts and contracts only.
ReplyDeleteIf I was my team captain, I would be getting paid da most on my team #D Wade
ReplyDelete#you're gay
DeleteYa momma
Delete#your momma
DeleteWho cares about how much they make, is not like they gonna share it with us, lol
ReplyDeleteJay-
I can't believe Joe Johnson is getting paid more than LeBron Dwight and all them
ReplyDeleteI can't believe carmelo gets paid at all
ReplyDeleteF#%c Kobe he was Shaqs dog during the early 2000s lebron had to take a garbage cavaliers team to the playoffs year after year. Lebrn is the real king, Kobe deserves only 2 rings not 5 .
ReplyDeleteKobe wud still have more rinds than LeBron lol.
DeleteAfter shaq left kobe got 3 more rings, without him, how is he his dog
DeleteJay-
He has definitely only got 2 rings since shaq left.. sorry jay. I've liked most your comments however.
DeleteJohn
Ur right, what was i thinking LOL... Idk why i said 3 , i think i was counting the one they gonna win this year jajaja! But either way he won a couple with out him and appeard 3 times in the finals... And thxs john for appretiating my comments...

What's sad for the Knicks is not what you see there. They are also paying Tyson chandler 14-16 million a year. So 55 of the 58 million dollar cap space is taken by three players. Which wouldn't be so bad if they were winning big. But they are not.... lucky for them they don't have to pay the tax until just over 70mil. But that still only gives them 15 mil for 10 more players.
ReplyDeleteJohn
Damn how the lakers getaway with this more money? 3 plauers in top ten? I thought they are some limitation in salary cap.. Commish stern must look at this..its unfair to the other team
ReplyDeleteLakers and Celtics r the richest organization right? Can't believe queen James coulda been making 10 mill more only to be with heat. Sad. Oh well they wipe there butts with 100 dollar bills
ReplyDeleteAnd the mavs
DeleteSuck it preach!
ReplyDeleteLakers r the richest and they can afford to pay more luxury taxes, thats why they can make those contracts, knicks r the second biggest market fallowed by chicago and boston then miami, but im pretty sure u can add nets and clippers to that mix once they start winning
ReplyDeleteJay-
jay miami is not in the top 5 for richest franchise. don't know where you pulled that outa of, maybe payroll but. miami is mid market
DeleteAll you idiots that said Bron, bosh, and wade took less money WRONG! All of them got max contracts hence why Bron and bosh were sign and trade's. If they would've signed with the heat outright they would've gotten less money, that's the way the NBA has been structured to give home teams a added bonus in order to persuade players to stay.
ReplyDeleteIt's not always the salary that plays a role, i know some of these players are compensated elsewhere off the books to get them to sign for less.
for starter the cba structure your talking.about was created after they signed, in part bc of what they did to team up. second of all when they say those three gave up money its bc they all. did. had lebron and bosh both stayed with their oringinal teams they would have made 15 million more over 4 years. and lebron would have had the same.endorements if he was in cleveland. its not like he never had endorsements until he was a heatle
Deletelebron bosh and wade don't have max contracts. there about two mil the max each per year. that adds up. lebron would be the second highest paid player if he was still in cleveland.....and the "structure" you talked about is the reason. you don't really make sense you say lebron has a max deal, then you say the cba is set up so you get the most by staying with your home team. well bron left cleveland as we all know, therefore he must have gave up money. as by your logic
DeleteLebron never was signed and traded, he walked out as a free agent. Why u think dan gilbert hates him so much, cleveland eneded up with nothing.
DeleteJay+
Word. N The fact that their in the 3rd year of their contract n only making 17mil. Shudve been a hint that the took less money to play together. N in a sense he's right that its a max contract with Miami but that's bc they left. N how max contracts are calculated. If they had stayed with their original teams the max contract allowed to them wud b alot more.
ReplyDeleteIts pretty easy. Joe Johnson was in the same free agent class. He got a Max deal. So look at his salary and that's how much those three would make if they took the max. So they did give up some money. Not a ton. But enough. I still don't like the heat at all though.. lol
ReplyDeleteJohn
Anything over 16 mill is a max contract!
ReplyDeleteword bc lebron made under 16 mil last year
DeleteUr wrong preach, 20 is the max contract, if ur making 17 thats just close to it but not max, 4 million dollars is a big difference, just buy a 80,000 house then compare it to a 4 million dollar home and see what 4 million gets u compared to the 80 k home, my point is that a max is a max anything less is not
DeleteJay-
lebron left 30 million in cleveland, sacrafice
ReplyDeleteOk 15.5....big deal! He still a max player like everybody else on this list. Silly asses no how much he make every year but wanna act like u dont know wat or who a max player is....yall damn well no matter how u look at it, however much he left n ckeveland...hes still a max player! Wat u wanna give him a cookie cause he left 30 mill n cleveland? Bitch please...it was a xtra 30 mill or garunteed winning n miami. Thats no sacrafice..thats a decision...cocksucker
DeletePau and bosh are more over paid then any of em.. third wheel at best on their respective teams.. glad to see rashard lewis got his garbage ass salary down; )
ReplyDeleteHow is it that the cavs had great draft picks? Oh yea BECAUSE IT WAS A SIGN AND TRADE!
ReplyDeleteJUST BECAUSE A PLAYER SAYS HE'S SIGNING WITH ANOTHER TEAM DON'T MEAN HE WAS A FREE AGENT SIGNING. CASE IN POINT = RYAN ANDERSON TO THE HORNETS.
Btw Joe Johnson was in the league before Bron, bosh, and wade it's painfully obvious most of you know nothing about the front office works and just focus on player salaries and their Jocks you love to ride.
