Should've included the time the Twolves gave Latrell Sprewell a 3 year/21 million dollar contract but turned it down because, as he said, "it's not enough to feed my family."
Then he never played another game ever again, soured his career for sure. 🤦♂️
Damn... Really? I couldn't remember the whole story, but damn...
''I HAVE A FAMILY TO FEED''
well it usually costs about 22 million per child so how many kids did he have? lol
@@JP-ks7ey where tf u getting these numbers bro. Barely anyone makes 22 mil in a total life….
4:12 “only went on to make 60 million dollars” oh wow what a loss 😑
Yeah I know I would be set for life with that kind of money
Damn if he feels like that I'll take sum off of him
@@benserkowski4663 Well rather then being envious, how bout you go do sum special and make that bread.
He could have actually saw 60 million in his bank accounts if he wasn't so egotistical, so he saw about 25 of that 60 at best.
Lol, ya what a failure.
Dennis Schroder was never the 6th man of the year. Must be a mandela effect or something because so many people think he did. He was a runner up to montrezl harrel.
What Dennis Schroeder was an all star a few years ago right? Dude was a BEAST
@@jumpy2xstreaming no he wasn’t
@@cameron9504 he averaged like 18ppg which in the past was borderline all star caliber
@@NatFar369 I know that, it was the season Atlanta began a rebuild after their al horford Paul milsaup era, but he was on a bad team and wasn’t named an all star
@@MandyGoldenGoddessFan he was a BEAST man idk what u saw
I feel bad for Cousins/Jennings. Their injuries derailed their career. Schroeder was completely delusional to reject that offer
I don’t feel bad for none of them. Even with their minimum contracts they make more than 99% of the population
They sure don't give a f*ck about y'all 🤡🤣 so why feel bad about them🤷
Ehh Jennings was never that good lets be real
@@finishfirst4580 😂 i kinda hate to agree
@@finishfirst4580 99% population isn’t qualified to play in NBA though. When was the last time someone pay money to watch you playing any sports ?
Thats a Dhar Man title 😂
💀
Facts low key
I know!
💪😜💯
Who?
The cousins story is as close to a Greek tragedy as it gets. Guy coulda been a such a dominant player. The fact that he’s still putting up good numbers despite all his setbacks is telling
Idc what anyone says if he never tore his Achilles he woulda had a mvp by now. Him and AD would of done special things together. He was definitely what jokic and embid are now and days..
@@kilospendingbob2346 Pelicans were better without Cousins
Had the Niko trade happened 6 weeks earlier Boogie wouldn’t have got hurt
guy was too bad defensively. he would've been bullied in the recent years even if he was fully healthy (which couldn't really be the case for him, he never took good care of his body)
Dennis Schroeder getting offered 21 per year is way too much but for him to think he's worth more than that is completely delusional esp after his wack playoff performance.
I'm glad he's getting closer to what he's worth now.
And then they paid Russ 40plus
@@mc00081 difference is they were signing Schroeder not trading for him, plus Russ is better
Yeah it seems like he's the worst one to me, even though that's a close call considering all these fools in this video..
I hope an reporter mentions it to him anytime he talks to the media.
@@phillipcantwell9471 Russ is an overall better player with double the pay of Schroeder.
I loved it when basketball youtuber Rebound said this “Nerlens Noel thought he was the next lebron and wanted $100 million.”
This is why self-awareness is so important as an athlete. Confidence is necessary, you need to be smart enough to A) if you’re injured and a good but not a tier 1 player, recognize that and take the bag offered to you and B) understand you’re getting offered more than your worth and take it
These situations are where you have to have a good agent so you know what you likeky to have as a back up alternative plan
Dennis was the most delusional player after that disappointing post season. He thought he was an all star after all that. Just how much can a man be full of himself
80 millions too. I feel like that was too much for him lol he was dumb for not taking it
You could tell how delusional he is just by seeing his goofy azz hairstyle
@@AMaidenlessRunt he said he did wasn't offered 84 million but anywho I think he didn't want to return to the Lakers so he made an excuse
He turned that 84 Mio offer down in January, way BEFORE the Playoffs... after the Playoffs the Lakers were done with him and they didnt want to bring him back. Thats why they traded for Russ at draft night, while technically still having Schröder on the roster and holding his Bird rights...
Dennis Schroeder was ineffective for the Lakers. The offer was shocking at the time and then a relief when Dennis declined.
A think a lot of this stuff falls on REALLY BAD AGENTS, some of these agents are not capable of being honest with their clients and their chances at these new huge contracts. The idea that Noel was ever gonna be CLOSE to a super max contract is absurd.
You forgot Latrell Sprewell, the time when he turned down a contract because "he cant feed his kids" or something like that.
Yeah he told the reporters "I got my family to feed." was his exact qupte.
@@drestathagangsta8880 he sure did but its funny how over 15yrs later athletes from all sports turn down contracts and alot of them say this same thing
Yep, he should've taken that 40M. He's still working hard and keeping his head up.
Shroeder now claims he did the right thing turning down 84M😂. So, the lesson is never get Shroedered.:)
He was ridicule so much, his wife came out to defend him. Probably left him by now
@@gregorylibra5114 His wife was too hot for him. He was so arrogant and his agent had him drinking some strange Kool-Aid blend believing he's a 100M player. Wherever he plays his teammates and coaches don't like him, so at this point he's a minimum salary guy. Dennis will never make back that money the rest of his life. He Shroederered himself.😂
@@stevewise1656 agree, but I wonder how much of that was his agent versus him saying he deserved more. He should have jumped at that money the way that post season was going for him. Smh. He definitely will never see money like that again.
My friend said he mined bitcoin for fun when he sold 3 for 400 bucks back in 2012. Gotta invent a truth for yourself to cope with your dumb mistakes lol Which was sad because he was the one who introduced me to Bitcoin, at the same time, I didn't take advantage of it when it was just a nerdy thing.
@@PWCDN The whole reason I didn't ever invest into Bitcoin is because when I heard of it (Back when it was around 1$ or something still in it's infancy) The main thing it was used for was Dark Web payments and that was sorta the whole vibe around it. Wish I never heard of that nonsense....
Damn he only went to make 60 mill that's so tragic 🙏🙏
It is tragic for him you mere mortal..
As supposed to the 80 mil he could’ve made in 4 years..? Yeh that’s pretty tragic
@@neo1343 20 million is enough to keep you and all of your children and grandchildren in the top 10% of wealth for life.
Some people don't even make 500k their entire life
@@jerrybrown6169 why you ppl always like that. It’s all relative. The amount he made vs the amount he was set to make is still a huge huge difference. It’s not about whether or not he could live with the money he ended up with.
Tobias Harris. Hustle of the decade. No one talking about his 170 million contract where he averages 11 points per game.
What contract does Tobias regret rejecting?
He was at 20ppg before the harden trade. They stopped relying on him to be the 2nd option
@@Menace247 not only that but this video is about contracts that the player regrets rejecting. Tobias does not fall into that category.
Tobias is the smartest NBA player
A lot of NBA players aren’t financially smart they’re just amazing athletes. Some are financially wise but not all clearly.
Too many yes men and women around them, telling them how great they are when they're not.
Facts a lot of it is common sense
A lot of NBA players are not even great athletes. They're just tall
I think it Balances out, you have two sides of the Spectrum.. Poor Financial Sense and then Extraordinary Business acumen.
Magic, M.J, LeBron and then Vinnie Johnson who is on a level beyond them. DWade, Jamal Mashburn there are some Who Absolutely destroy the business world.
Dumb comment
This is the issue with a lot of players pocket watching instead of worrying about themselves. They see a player that they think they're better than get a contract and think they deserves at least that much. Oladipo was the worst one to me. He didn't really change his circumstance by turning down the first deal. All he had to do was take a year to recover and then play one good year. That would allow him to get a max extension on the contract he had.
Nah cousins was worse. He turned down a 20mil sit and rehab yr for no reason
In oladipos defense the pacers weren’t gonna build around him and the rockets traded harden that year and were in full on tank mode
@@LHRKiiDfLaSh nah oladipo has no defense. Just two horrible decisions. The only thing going for him is even that 4 mil every year should be enough to take care of him for life
@@williamgray9692 what? Have u been really watching hime? Especially lately?
@@kennethbayonito9992 he ain’t getting anything close to what he could’ve got if your implying he has played his way into another contract.
Cool video! One suggestion I have though is adding something when you start talking about the next player. Maybe an intro card, or a # +player name typed line at the bottom of the screen. I understood when you were taking about the next player, but that little bit adds to the transition and it doesn't make the next topic as jarring to switch focus. Keep up the good workA
LeVeon Bell and Antonio Brown were in systems in Pittsburgh that played well to their game. They left and their career went on the skids.
LeVeon was on pace to have a Hall Of Fame career, AB is just a fool
Those Dorks
AB would have been great anywhere if it werent for his mental instability, but when he behaved he produced.
I think it was their personalities that brought about that
@@vincenthammons6705 Also Tomlin enabling those selfish clowns didn't help.
Pacers dodged not a bullett, but a missile with Oladipo. Injury took away all the things that made him great.
The player's lawyers and management also deserve the blame
I think many of these contracts are related to agents wanting a higher commission. The agents are probably greedy or have a minimum quota they want to make from each player.
very true. And, if they dont get it, fuck the player, another one will come along.
I am no expert. I posted a comment like Yours too. BINGGO. I think You are right. These agents get greedy and whispers to these players to decline these contracts and wait for a bigger one. UNFORTUNATELY, most of the time time, it doesn't come. Get it while the iron is still hot.
Facts💯💯
I mean yeah, but their agent also loses huge when they don't take the deal...
The agent's job is to inform the player of what deals are on the table. It's up to the player to decide to take the deal or not, not the agent.
What about John Amaechi? $17 million contract offer from the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000, opting to remain in Orlando for $600,000 per year.
He liked the boys in the locker room.
thats better cause in 30 years he would make 21 mil
Gotta be smart fellas!! Can’t be turning down millions when millions aren’t coming to you everyday!!
I knew the Dennis Schroder one would be in there and yeah, what a painful loss for him. It's good to bet on yourself, but it's also good to know when you've gotten a great deal.
The hof of terrible agents 😂
Oladipo actually wanted to be with the Heat. He didn’t regret it
He turned down a total of 150 million dollars to play in sweaty ass Miami for 4 million. I would hate to have those priorities
well hes a f'ing idiot for not taking 150 mil over 4 its basic math especially since jimmy's contract means that he will never get crazy money ever again in the heat
Of course Oladipo is saying that now when the chance has already passed him by to get that huge contract. Its just good PR for a player to say stuff like that
@@enthusiastofcute I dont know the real perspective but leading into last season he made it clear he wanted to play with miami. And he wanted to stay as big part of that was they were willing to get him the proper time to recover from his injury where most likely other teams woulda rushed him back (like houston). The organization was completely behind him with this and didnt rush him and now it seems he's got the right treatments and proper rehabing/gametime, he could be getting back to an extent of how he was.
With that type of money, you can buy a Krib in Florida in every city.😂
Dennis Schroder's is the worst rejection of all because he wasn't worth nearly that much. He should've grabbed that offer without hesitation. What the hell was he thinking? He was having a decent season, nothing spectacular, and prior to the Lakers he was just a competent 6th man. 21 million a year for four years was a godsend. Everyone needs self-esteem and ambition, but this was way past that.
He upset a lot of working ppl with this one.. lol
I respect people wanting to bet on themselves but sometimes you should just take the money because you never know when you might get hit by an injury that will completely tank your value
Noel thought he was max contract player 😆😆😆
I remember when max contracts were around 100 Mil, now players turn down that amount lol 😭. Being Greedy. It’s okay to shop around but don’t over estimate your value.
Domo on the rockets forgot about him but he was really solid. Sad to hear that happened didn’t know it went down like that
Yeah, that sounded like something the league should have definitely step in. If the deal the rockets matched was 38 million base, there's no way should they have been able to modify it, that wouldn't be a match
Oladipo lost the most money out of all of them
I came here to see Schroeder. Man... his ego really got in his way. Makes me anxious about his Free agency and the enormous expectations he will have for his next contract after this rather bad season from him. Wondering if he's gonna make the same mistakes again.
i have been waiting for a video finally
Great Vid!
A lot of these guys need to find better agents/financial advisors, preferably ones who actually understand how to best utilize the NBA’s relative short contract length to their advantage, among other things.
Especially Nerlens at the time. Dude got fucked over by his own Agent, the great Rich Paul.
These athletes need to be more in control of their narrative and stop putting all there trust in these agents and lawyers I ain't when a player says WELL IM GON LEAVE THAT IN THE HANDS OF MY AGENT smh naw that's BULLSHIT that's Yo Bread be more in tune wit YO AFFAIRS💯💯💯💯
Yo Austin I’ve been subbed to you since before 100 subs u had a bulls jersey as your pfp i remember
Who was the guy that turned down a contract while saying “that isn’t enough to feed my family” and never got another contract
Latrell Sprewell? He's the one whose famous for saying that, but I think he did get another contract, but not sure.
@@reck0n3r a smaller contract
Sprewell
Crazy guy and he choked his coach
Betting on urself is great but the short contracts with big money are obvious to take when ur a early star because they will give u a mega contract if u pan out but if u dont ur sittin pretty on 30+ mill
Oladipo literally said multiple times before singing getting to the heat that his main goal was to get to the heat so I doubt he regrets missing out on extra money
No one's buying that...he only said that because people doesn't wanna feel sorry for him... he's too greedy and it backfires
Yeah Right
Not buying it.
@@elchubito6915 He was a Heat fan. Wade was his idol.
Can u makea ranking of every championships difficulty
I promise 4 mil in Miami feels better than 120 mil in Indianapolis lmao
All or most players who signed huge contracts during the 2016 free agency are laughing all the ay to the bank at these guys! Good for you Tyler Johnson, Timofey Mozgov, Evan Turner etc.
"he got drafted to the Timberwolves...."
*shows a guy being drafted by Utah*
Oladipo about to go to the finals with his friends he ain’t regretting it lol

Still time to delete
@@4079907 still grieving
Schroeder just signed a one year deal with the Lakers for just over 2 million yesterday 🤦♂️
It makes me smile hearing these stories.
When you think you're the best player in the world and when you put up ass stats, why do you expect max contracts?
To counter, Scottie Pippen signed a 7 year deal with the Bulls. By the 3rd year, contracts started to go through the roof and by contract end, he was one of the lowest paid superstars in the league.
that's circumstance...that's not anyone making a bad decision.
As a Louisville fan & native, I used to HATE Nerlens Noel, being that he played for Kentucky. Lol ; Dude was really good in college. Definitely used to be a threat.
If I was in the NBA. I wouldn't turn down nothing but my Collar and music pulling up to the Bank 🏧💳🏦💵
Cousins was screwed by the Kings. When they traded him he lost out on a max contract.
Kings didn’t think he was worth it
What a shame they definitely need good advice in contract situations.
If the league minimum with 4 years service is $2.5 million. In 2005, it was $770k. That's more than tripling in 20 years. If a guy played 20 years at league minimum from 2025, to 2045, he's likely going to average more than $5mil/year for 20 years. It feels hard for me to feel like a guy was robbed if he earned $100 mil+ in a career. That's more than 3 times what Magic Johnson earned... I think many of us would feel the only bad contract is the one not signed.
I find this hilarious, every single bit of it. Lesson learned, don't hire your cousin or childhood friend as your business manager.
Nerlens noel was a Klutch client when he agreed to that deal, even the good ones can have you doing dumb shit
I don't understand how injured players think they gonna get more money somewhere else. When greed backfires
No list like this can be complete without Letrell Sprewell
RIP Victor Oladipo. I miss him on the pacers and honestly I would still love him if he was here to this day.
Made it sound like he died
Lame
Well, it’s not too late to go see him, just buy a playoff ticket for the heat vs Celtics
He appears to be doing more than OK enjoying life by the blue Ocean, the Beach, and the lovely ladies down there .
@@pushslice Damn, we was cool until you included the last sentence, South Florida has one of the highest STD rates of any place in the entire country
Some guys want rings gotta remember that even cousins it backfired when he went to the warriors
Valid facts my brother
Being an agent, they should always let the player's know the full scope(insurance, injuries, availability, bonuses, making all-star, D.F.P.Y., MVP, playoffs, Finals, Champion/ship, lockouts, etc.,etc.)of any and all contracts.The catcher would be letting them know of the possible risks of getting hurt and(the $ they stand to lose vs the $ they stand to gain). Finally as an encore I would definitely use these clips as past examples of those who never covered their bases!!!
Should do another video like this but with people who signed big contracts that there team should have never given out like every contract Chandler Parsons signed
Ok, a correction... I'm a Warriors fan and Joe Smith didn't "play great" for the Warriors. He was on garbage teams and stuffed his stats, but even those stats weren't great. A terrible #1 pick.
I can’t quite comprehend these numbers. Because $1 million dollar contract is still so much money to me.
For real I just wonder what they do with all this money
I get that, But 1 Million dollar contract depending on which State
Let's use New York, is around 600k off rip once those State Taxes take hold. That's not even including the Agents Cut.
What If the player just wanted to pay low?
Top 5 nba players that played better after injury
I know these guys agents was like ...bruh...BRUH...BRUUUUH NOOOO
Every one of them look like superstar when you look at the highlights
For Noel I’m pretty sure his agent was Rich Paul told him not to sign that deal some team was gonna sign him to a max the next season
Demarcus lost his fucking mind. 2 years 40 million while injured and entire season? Fucking hell man🤷🏿
I can't help but smh when he says "only made $60 million dollars..." Only? Lol
these guys are still filthy rich either way. You could also do a video about people who bet on themselves and came out big, that would be interesting.
You and all others never tell the real numbers, 40 mil contract for 2 years is actually around 20 mil.for 2 years, you always forget to mention all kinds of taxes which end up around or more than 50 % of the money.
If this accurate? I know they get significantly less, just wasn't sure what exactly it works out to... On the other hand though, there's some retirement package after nba isn't there? For the regular players, not to be snubbed upon I suppose
It’s crazy how greedy these players were. Take the gauranteed money man
Can you please make ranking the top 30 nba players 2022
I love how all these guys were probably brought up going to church and learned about sins, and yet they're all committing the sin of greed, literally the hardest sin to overcome.
Its so sad whats happened to boogie, hes litearly the modern player who got me into basketball
He's a disrespectful angry p.o.s that's just reaping what he's sowed..
This is a prime example of how every state should take a page out of the state of Florida's book!! Require these kids to learn personal finance before graduating!!!
OP: "He only made XXX million dollars instead."
Me with $2.73 in my bank account: 🤨
My favorite is Matt Harrington. Turned down $4 mil just to play baseball. I guess he prefers working at Costco.
Victor O was WILDIN !!!
Probably agents and family talking in there ear to wait for a bigger contract. Foolish players, you have to know what you are worth
What's worse for some of these guys, especially a star like Cousins, is that even if you sign the deal, you can always make a stink & get yourself traded later on if you want out.
The reality is that for most of these guys, the back end of those deals is going to be bad anyway; the team is paying for what a guy can give them in the next 1-2 years. And now you are probably going to see the reverse, where these guys, especially SuperMax eligible players, take the money & the teams are regretting it towards the end of the deal.
I know he's been a punching bag all season, but this is why Russell Westbrook keeps getting moved. It's not that he's "bad"; it's that he can't raise the floor or ceiling of your team enough to justify that salary. So as soon as someone comes along that's willing to take it, he's moved again. Now that deal is expiring and might look a bit more attractive to the right team.
Latrel Spreewell “I can’t feed my family on that offer” - then never played again
Didn't need too.he had about 55 million from rims alone remember spinning rims costed 10.000 grand..
Well, at least Charles Oakley still has his car wash, and John Starks just opened up a Kia dealership in Queens New York
Guess they all starved to death...
@@michaelballard3413 fortunately, that dummy ended up with an advisory position with the Knicks next to Larry Johnson courtesy of that POS, James Dolan. (isn’t it funny that Dolan tries to put his fingerprints on the Knicks and they always appear to be one of the worst organizations in all of basketball, but he won’t go anywhere near the New York rangers, and they are about two wins away from the Stanley Cup finals)
oladipo gonna get some money this off season. his future looks pretty solid, even if he isn't that all star player anymore
Agreed. Oladipo still young enough that he can recoup most if not all the money he missed out on. These other idiots are SOL.
lol. a 1 yr to prove himself
No. He will not make it back to the level he was playing before his injury. Quality 6th man though.
With reputation of being that injury prone? And 3 years older? No,. .. Who's gonna take that risk? I love the guy and his game and wish him all the best but NBA players are an investment, and ge carries high risk premium oladipo will see a fraction of what he could have had ... Saying that, I wish I'm wrong
money money money moneeey, moneeeeeey.
Vic could have been the face of my Pacers for a long time
You should do a video on players who bet on themselves and it paid off
hopefully, all these players opened up a few Chicken n Waffle franchises after retirement.. lol..
Victor Olodipo, your killing me, turning down $25 million per year.
“For rest of his career he only made 60 million dollars” poor guy
Players forget that this league is a business..... whoever is giving me the most money, is where im going.
Oladipo fkd up too greedy
Most of these players had just bad luck with injuries but not necessarily bad judgment to bet on themselves. About shoulder I think he hated playing with LeBron so much that he is fine with the pay cut
Thing is Victor may make some of that back
Kids remember one thing..... here is it, is better than where is it, let that sink in.
