It's going to be a journey but I'm built for this. Its just the way things go in this game and I'm proud that I gave it all I physically could, and I'm proud my brothers got the W.

Basketball is my biggest love and I wanted to be out there that night because that’s what I do. I wanted to help my teammates on our quest for the three peat. Like I said Monday, I'm hurting deeply, but I'm OK. Surgery was today and it was a success, EASY MONEY My road back starts now! I got my family and my loved ones by my side and we truly appreciate all the messages and support people have sent our way.
3 teams to still give kd max money after achilles tear update#
What we know is that he is one of most efficient scorers in the league, hard worker, improving offensively and defensively every month in the league.What’s good everybody I wanted to update you all: I did rupture my Achilles. Second part is will he live up to his contract? Well you newer know with rookie extensions.

In two years in the league didn't have any significant injurie. MPJ is 23 yo, had two back surgeries (second one was to correct mistake from the first one). Philadelphia - resign Embiid to max, and max number of games he played in a season is 64įor all people concerned about MPJ health, resigning him was smaller risk than any of teams mentioned up took with their signing. Brooklyn - signed 30 yo KD to 4/164 after his Achilles tear, knowing he will miss season to rehab, Kyrie to 4/141 who had 3 70+ games seasons in his 10 years in the league, for Brooklyn he played 20/72 and 54/72 gamesĤ. LA Clippers - resigned Kawhi to 4/176 after ACL tear, another player with scary injurie history, he is 30 yoģ. Resigned him to 5/190 last year, we all saw what happened this year with his health. LA Lakers - payed king's ransom for AD who is known as one of the most injurie prone players in NBA. Let's see risks that some of the other contenders took:ġ. In NBA to contend for championship you must take some risks. I don't expect his defense to ever become a strong suit. He's going to have to take leaps and bounds when it comes to his playmaking though. I hope he does live up to it though, that would mean he becomes an amazing player. MPJ literally has had one good season and gets this extension, it's crazy. I understand that, difference is though Shai has the history to back it up. I know, if only Westbrook weren't such a ridiculously inefficient scorer he might deserve to be in the same breath as Harden, Steph, Westbrook, Giannis, Doncic, Trae, Gobert, SGA, and MPJ. Re: one of those is still not even close to being like the others. You can argue that having post-rookie Max contracts being this big as a major problem for franchises going forward, but it's not a Porter specific thing. What you're looking at is the new max contract baseline. Even if you want to exclude the "older players", one of those is still not even close to being like the others.įact is SGA literally already has this contract as well. Here's a list of players with 200+ million contracts in NBA History: Harden, Steph, Westbrook, Giannis, Doncic, Trae, Gobert, and now MPJ. And what did he do in the playoffs as the second option? All of his numbers dropped, drastically at that.įact is, this is an absurd contract. You're right about what matters is how good is he is now and although he's good, he's getting paid like a Top 10-15 player, which he isn't even close to.Ģ. That's why this contract is crazy because he has only played 2 seasons and on top of that, missed an entire season because of injury.

Seasons of evidence have ALWAYS mattered, young or old. While I understand a reluctance to give too much credence to a late season run, we do have to remember a) Porter was always seen as a superstar project before the injuries and b) this next season Porter's likely going to continue to have the primacy he had post-Murray. After that point he was a 20+ PPG guy flirting with 70% TS. No he wasn't an all-star.but only because he only started playing at All-NBA levels after Murray went down to injury. What matters is how good he is now, and how much better you expect to get.Ģ. How many seasons of evidence you have for a young guy doesn't really matter. It literally is considering this context: only two seasons played, hasn't made an all-star team, let alone an all-nba team, not to mention his injury history and he gets this type of extensionįorgetting the injury thing for a second:ġ.
