Will the NBA ever switch to non-guaranteed contracts to regain control?
They should.
Make Pat Riley commissioner and there is a chance.
I agree no play no pay make them hungry not soft the NBA needs fixing
I don't think you should but they need rules to reign in holding out for a trade.
I like your videos, butt this is hot garbage.
The NBA seriously needs to have a new CBA with non guaranteed contracts and it will force the players to play and add some defensive rules back and the league will be watchable again
You’re right but the players association will never allow that.
Will it force the billionaires to stop trading their players before their contracts are up too
@@youtubehatestruthtellers8065 they could do what they do in Europe where a player who is traded or sold get offered a new contract by the new club/team.
@@youtubehatestruthtellers8065they got the money bro, I dunno why people tryna side with the players.
that's literally what the video said, why are you repeating it,?
Whining after getting a quarter of a billion dollars in a few years for playing a game is truly incomprehensible.
Half of this is billionaires trying to convince regular people that the millionaires are being greedy.
@@somethinglikethat2176no it’s not. Whatever a billionaire says doesn’t add to or take away from the fact that these are millionaires playing a fucking game and being entitled
@@deadheadwsp705 it's a game to you and a job for them...
@@marcosibarra3923 sure, but theyre taking an enormous amount of time off, whining about not having more time off, and making more money than we'll ever see. you dont see the problem with this?
Whining about that in a video is even crazier😂
money and gambling has killed the integrity of sports. what a damn shame
Not just sports but the country. These big corporations and billionaires are why society in the United States is suffering. A damn shame.
@@noahk6407no, lack of character, spiritual connection or integrity is why society is falling. People gotta look in the mirror and stop blaming others for their mediocrity
@@magicsam8247I wonder if it’s easier to have a lack of character or accountability/integrity if you’ve got a bunch of money…
did you even watch the video? This has nothing to do with gambling
As long as fans keep supporting the teams with money, this will continue.
PG isn't comparable to JB. Jimmy has elevated every team he's ever been. PG is an overrated star whose team hasn't been relevant since the Pacers.
@@tay8259 I get ur point, but he wasn't rly comparing them though. Jimmy elevates, but then he turns into a locker room poison bfr he leaves like a diva. His antics have become legendary at this point.
@@milica7245 only cause jimmy hasn't had good teamates like other stars.
When you have a commissioner that is spineless, nothing will change. Add the fashion show of what players are wearing, which today is more important than the actual game
This is a prime example i went from watching 5-8 games a week to haven't seen a game in over 5 years. Once it was obvious guys were treating it like a business i was out. It's the same reason none of us watch ceo's make day to day operational decisions for fun. It's not any. The players empowered the fun right out of the child's game.
Performance based contacts would be massive for the game, everyone would play hard
The NBA needs a major price "correction" like the stock market. These guys are so overpaid.
Word!
💯 just said this. All sports need this imo. Athletes getting paid too much money and are not worth ANY OF it. These guys play a game for a living, they don't need huge egos. It's ruining sports as a whole.
Haha, you don't make at the least 166 times as much as an nba player😂😂😂😂😂
Wayyyy over paid.
@ajac4093 same can probably be said about you
Remember when butler's agent argued and swore that butler wasn't wanting to get traded? Lol
Good video bro. It's even weird why do nba players have a podcast.
Ego. Narcissism.
Yah. I can get why Melo, Garnet, etc. U miss the game and u want to get ur current take out there, not to mention ur thoughts actually have some merit bcs u've been through it. But being an active NBA player and having a podcast?! Meanwhile, warming the bench and trashing the franchise u're in. Dafuq? How daum hungry and dumb r u ffs? Lol
@milica7245 facts that's who I'm talking about active player. I feel like they taking people jobs doing that. Like you already rich. Let regular people do podcast
there’s a reason why the best players don’t have podcasts, too busy working on their games to be the best, never see jokic sga giannis curry have a podcast
Nobody deserves 280 million dollars for playing a game.
Players should get paid per game barring a provable injury
This is the best video you've ever made. And the best idea I've heard in a long time to fix the NBA.
That’s why I like this channel.. keep on speaking facts hoopreports!!!
A guaranteed percentage that scales down as the contract value goes higher would be a good start. Good luck getting this approved in the next CBA though
I love your proposed schematic for how they should get paid. Good idea!
The NBA doesn't have to do a thing. The owners got the league into this mess. They want their shiny toy to be the shiniest, and they're operating on an order of magnitude above even the players.
One owner could bust it up, though. A player comes to him with an outrageous demand. He says no. Then he calls a press conference and explains why he said no. Say it was Paul George. He just says, "I'm not going to pay a 34 year old 70 million a year in guaranteed money when I know the guy is no longer in his prime. He's missed half of our games in the last five years. I'm not paying top dollar for someone I can't count on for 82 games. I know you all want to watch winning basketball, but paying this guy isn't how it happens. I'm not going to hamstring our team's salary cap like this."
People would understand that. Oh, you don't think regular people would have a soft spot for a billionaire who talked to them and addressed their concerns? Take a look at who's in the White House.
An owner who said, "We might lose, but I'm not paying a pampered, oft-injured prima donna obscene amounts of money in exchange for drama," would get years of goodwill from the fanbase. If he made moves and drafted to improve, maybe longer. The dam would crack at that point. When the other billionaires saw him making money anyway, they'd copy him, no question.
The owners started this. The owners are going to have to fix it.
Best part of these videos is that "fail-laugh" 😂👍👍🤣
NGL, Jimmy's press conference was a great first impression! 👍👏🔥🔥
LET'S GO DUB NATION!! ❤️❤️
They absolutely suck. I've stopped watching NBA purely because of the entitled players. NBA used to be my favorite thing
Himmy Buckets as a Warrior... I honestly expect GREAT things!! 👍👏🤩🤩🔥🔥
Hope I'm not wrong. 😊🙏
I wanna see me and my brethren feel joy in the construction industry! My fallin comrades in the landscaping World need days off on holidays. I know 3 pool guys that have to work when it's "literally freezing outside." I think Sean lost all filling of the top of his pinky for 30+ minutes!
I understand both sides of the equation here…what I’d say, make 90-95% of contracts non-guaranteed. Only a select handful of players get fully guaranteed deals. Players that have tenure and resume in the league. Who have reputation for # of games played, season awards, performance, etc.
These max deals have become way too common. Only a handful of them actually deserve what they’re getting. Respectfully.
Each generation is getting softer and *SOFTER.* Professionalism is completely gone!
They would have to play real street ball instead of the ENTERTAINMENT they give you
A bit of the problem is, that old players in the NBA can't go to a retirement league. If a soccer player is at the end of his career, he can hang up his boots, or he can go to the MLS, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, China Japan and so on and get another big contract. Or he goes back to his youth club or country and become a legend. Butler can't go back to his College team, and he could go to Europe or China, but he would have to take a big pay cut. And there is a stigma attached for US player to play oversees.
Keep dropping them bro, love your work.
The same thing is happening in the NFL, ultimately these athletes make way too much money playing a damn game, they develop crazy egos and think they just deserve all the money. Sports in general need to have a serious conversation about the contracts they give out. No athlete needs to ink a 200+ million dollar contract just playing sports. It's ruining the sports, these guys get paid and decide to stop playing the sports. Look at guys like Zion, Ben Simmons. Other athletes see this and are like fuck it im doing that. Too many divas thinking they worth more than they are. When Paul George asked for that bag no one should have signed him, show him he's not valued like he thinks.
🎯
the problem youre missing though is if the money doesnt go to the players, then it just goes to the owners and Id rather have the players get that money then them. The problem is how inflated the money is in the league in general and guaranteeing contracts
More than any rule changes, this is what’s needed: non-guaranteed contracts. Plus putting games in a single spot so fans can actually pay only one fee to watch the games.
Love the non-guaranteed contract out there loaded with heavy incentives make these players hungry again.
Bimmy Jutler.
Yeah I'm all for non-guaranteed contracts at this point for these drama queens to stop acting like clowns. A bunch of grown men acting like spoiled babies who throws tantrums when things go sour. If i did that shit at work, I'd be fired immediately no questions asked.
You can work 165 years and still not make as much as the average nba player 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 haha
I actually like the idea of non guarantee contract
that fact that you can get payed to not do your job is just insane to me. the nba needs to change.
cant listen to PG , without getting angry nowadays ... crazy how money changes ppl
Pay for performance is not a thing in the US. Just look at what is going on with CEO’s. They can tank a company and they still get paid and given a golden parachute. It’s a culture at this point.
Load management is killing the NBA❤
Butler is the biggest diva! 🙄 No team should sign him! 😤
Look at the NFL, their incentive heavy contract wise, and they still have stars to promote dispute injury attrition every year, and team valuation is crazy off the charts. Fans can’t relate to spoiled NBA super stars who don’t give the game their all but talk too much, that’s more of a problem then too many 3’s.
Clippers paid Kawhi more than they offered PG. PG Played double the games Kawhi did. PG had a right to feel disrespected
He was a disgruntled employee. Employees don't owe employers as they make money off of them. Butler wanted more and he fought for it. How much they get paid doesn't matter. The team owner gets so much more that it's not even funny.
You let me down jimmy. You let a lot of people down.
I like your idea of performance based pay for NBA players! 💪💪💪
Adam Silver has destroyed the NBA
Goes all out every game my ass as a heat fan I can tell ya jimmy took a nap half the regular season yes he was good in the playoffs but regular season he played like he didn’t care and that’s just how it is he tried like 3/4 of the games he played and “ rested “ the other 25-30
I 100% agree with you on non guaranteed contracts that would save the NBA and I’d love it
the contract one would be good but what if a player seriously gets hurt? Like an ACL type-injury? I think if its confirmed a lengthy injury the player should have some sort of insurance because they don't control injuries.
for a second i thought it's another warriors video, but good, you're being reasonable lately
And super max deals should only be for players that win titles and a max should be only for players with heavy accomplishments. 1st all team offense and defense, all star selections, team wins extra. And everyone else non-guaranteed base pay 250k-1 million.
I wouldn't have agreed with the premise that less guarantees for the players when they put their bodies on the line is a good thing, but then the Clippers traded for PJ Tucker...
Jimmy Butler who averages 17 points, refused to play, got suspended and basically demanded a trade is the highest paid player in the NBA. This league is a f'n joke.
The Celtics we're all banged up. Jason Tatum injured his ankle, Robert Williams lll was sick, Derrick White was injured so STFU about Jimmy DOMINATING these teams. He couldn't beat them when they're fully healthy.
Don't forget Khris Middleton was injured 2
NBA should start paying their players hourly. 😂😂
@1:18 I can answer that question for you. As an avid soorts fan I have not watch the NBA is over 6 years and I have not once found myself missing it🤷🏾♂️. It's not as intergral to everyday life a one would think. There are plenty of other ways to entertain oneself, and if the majority of people suddenly realized this these pro athletes would soon be out of a job.
THANKS FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS
man I remember Indiana Paul George ( he was my lil bros favourite) ... how could he end up as podcast P ? :(
I think the Luka AD trade sent a warning. it got all of them spooked. The divas like Embid and Zion are back on the court and everybody looks like they are putting in effort. The league is loaded with little boys pretending to be men and very few professionals.
Most of them have an ego. They fear being embarrassed. They fear having their boys think they 'fell off' or traded to a small market team. You may think they are above childish ish, but look closer. Its just a bunch of divas who want internet fame.
Well not with my favourite player of all time, Bennie Simmie
.
.
He is more determined to win back Jenner's heart in LA than playing basketball
There's no more gratitude anymore and I'm also speaking outside of basketball.
The NBA would shut down for an entire season or longer, some players would threaten to retire (good riddance), and there would be a lot of money lost -- but it's absolutely doable IF the owners decide to act like business owners and get it done.
Let’s just pay fans and owners to play I’m sure ppl would love it. We can have Dana White manage it. You should start working on that ASAP.
Did you all just forget the part where Pat Riley is also at fault for not fulfilling what he promised?
Denver has two ends of the spectrum. Jokic, Braun and Westbrook never ever take a game off. Not one.
And then there’s Murray.
(Edit: to be fair, Lillard, if he actually did it, giving the support staff the $500K is pretty cool)
All sports have this problem of a couple of highly paid players becoming lazy but we see it more in the NBA. In the NFL and MLB it's more likely they go down due to injury and bad performance. Players who've hustled from the g league for an NBA spot like Scottie Pippen Jr need to be highlighted more to improve the games image.
In basketball, you can get away with two or three superstars and a bunch of roll players. Jordan, pippin, Rodman. Kobe and Shack. Can’t do that in baseball or football. Shoehei didn’t go anywhere with Trout. Ernie Banks never went to the World Series. Tom Brady wouldn’t have done much without his defense.
The NBA is a players league. Everyone knows that. Problem is players don’t observe the game from any perspective except their own.
Dear Mr. Sheesh, great video! Players with injuries should be examine by a third party medical staff. The would receive a "fit to play" or a " legitimate injury " prognosis. This woud be known as the "Legitimate Injury Rule",( or maybe the Zion Rule). No more sitting on the bench, wit sunglasses, and a Louis Vutton sweater. You get a team-based medical robe. It's a basketball game not a fashion show.
I came out of this with a lesser view of George but a higher view of Butler.
Butler is a high performing Prima Donna whose team tried to screw him. When you try to eff with a high performing Prima Donna, they're going to give you headaches and you deserve it.
Jimmy's joy playing a basketball is equivalent of Shawn Michael's lost my smile moment.
Good idea but the CBA has to go through player's union and they would NEVER approve this
It should be any star that asks for a trade should be liable. He should be only eligible for a veteran contract. His current contract should be cancelled and he will given a veteran minimum contract for 3 years. After 3 years he should be allowed to have a good contract again.
This is the answer. They need to begin moving towards this. Soon
I could not agree more. The NBA is a league of cry babies. No wonder the ratings are down. Talk about someone who forgot were he started. The guy used to be homeless... be grateful.
I've been a long-time fan of the league. But, this, along with many problems of modern NBA, has taken my joy away from the league. And, if not addressed or changed soon, i won't return. And that's the challenge the league currently faces.
He is just tired carrying the heat on his back
Very well said, i agree with everything. But there is a problem, NBA is all about the money, owners, commissioner, media all of them care only about the money unfortunately and that reflects on players also. Most of them at least.
Thanks for everything, LeBron.
The Heat ran butler into the ground and never really built around him.
True, the owners will extract revenge soon
The product that the NBA is putting out right now is ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS.
Paul G is fr insane smh😂
lol. PG really learned a lot from Kawhi.
complaining about a $50M salary is criminal.
clippers trading for ben simmons is genuinely offended me. like are you for real? that man still getting paid for being tall
Wasn’t a trade and he’s getting paid a minimum contract or mle money
these players milking the system after signing guaranteed long term contracts.. They know the money is coming in regardless if they play or not..changes need to be made with their contracts to prevent players from taking advantage of these exploits.
GUARANTEED CONTRACTS A MUST!!!!!
No one is here to see the owners. Power to the worker. They are the product. Complaining about their wealth ignores that 30 owners make the majority of the money, and LESS THAN HALF is divided up among the 450+ players.
its hard to stay humble adn be a normal human being , when u earn more than a thousands of people combined ... but still unexcuseable how entitled some of the stars are
6:05 it doesn’t matter how much revisionist history you did Paul George took the franchise further than it’s ever gone before ending of 50 year slump while Kawhi Leonard was injured. Paul George is literally the greatest clipper of all time due to achievements and wins not the BS numbers and accolades not the BS narratives that you were trying to push right now. No one has achieved more in a clipper uniform than Paul George. It’s just a fact he went to the conference finals without his running mate. No one else has even made the conference finals even with the running mate so you can fuck out of here with BS narratives.
Need to change all contracts: no playing is no money
He single handedly took an undrafted team to the Finals. Can you imagine if he had just one more star playing with him that run. You pay the man what he wants. #Goldblooded #ihopeidonteatmywords
Team Butler 🙌 Miami knew or should have realize this would happen & if they never intended to offer an extension then they should have traded him way before the drama started like a season before
U only get 50% of your salary for the regular season. Then u get another 10% for each playoff series u compete in. Only the teams that make it to the finals will get 100%. This would be super fun, but the players wouldn't agree.
Or just pay the players overtime for the playoffs. They barely get paid for the playoffs at all. NFL players get like 36,000 each for playoff games. If u make 34 mil a year, that's 2 mil per game, then u get to the playoffs and only make 36 thousand... not sure what nba players make, but pay them their reg per game income, plus OT, im sure that'll work and they'll agree
Great proposal but they might have to cut the number of games
I suggest we stop watching the NBA and instead choose the UFC
The nba needs to stop bringing in 18yr olds and go back to bringing in 3- 4 year college players. Come in at year 3, theyre more polished, more coachable, and appreciate the grind and love of the game. These kids are coming in at 18 and handed 100m. Of course they arent gonna work hard after that.
This is easily the number 1 reason the NBA is getting so many negative reviews. Unlikable, spoiled brat stars.
Giving money to players jsut for making the playoffs only hurts competetiveness as in bad franchises will struggle to retain talent.
I love basketball and it has been crumbling. I dont feel bad for any of these basketball ball players.
NBA sould get rid of guaranteed contracts.
Real take away is this guy jimmy butler got rewarded 60 mil+ per year for 17ppg and delusional expectations. Its a bar no sensible business would set.
Just switch off. Once they are out of money they will change everything back where it was in no time. That's the only way to save basketball.
This music is so touching lol
