I don’t think Dame is transcendent, but he’s a solid all star caliber player, though on the downside of his career. Brunson’s deal looks better all the time. He’s really not getting anything close to the new salary standard for an all star. I’d definitely prefer the younger Brunson for $26 million per over Dame at $60+ million. Luka may be eyeing close to $100 million for at least one year of his next contract. These numbers are getting huge. Lock your players up now. Don’t screw around thinking $20 million is a big deal salary. It’s just barely upper middle class, if that, for where the NBA is headed.It’s long been said that the stars are underpaid for the revenue they generate for a team. The contracts are now reflecting that revenue…for the stars. JB isn’t a star.
