Oh and Dirk has never made $125mil in any 1 contract agreement

So now Melo has graduated past Dirk on to
MJ, Magic, Bird levels?
Listen Melo and Dirk have played in the same span of time
Amidst an NBA climate when pay has escalated
Dirk has been paid less and won far more
Melo has been paid far more and won a helluva lot less
Dirk by galaxies far and wide and undiscovered is better than Melo always will be

He made 22 mil last year when he was 35 and prior to this season has made 204 million in his career.

He was paid less because max players were paid less when he(Dirk) was in his prime..Had he been in his prime today, he too would get 125mil or 124mil actually...Bosh got 119..Gordon Haywood is making 16 mil per...My point was that MJ's max was less at the time as well...And Ill take Melo over Dirk right now and Melo is and was a far superior defender than Dirk has ever been..But I know u don't care about that..U only care about Melo defending...

Melo including this contract has made 260mil[if he plays out his 5th yr] he'll be 34
Came into the league 5yrs after Dirk, that should tell you something
Dirk's richest contract was 7yrs/$100mil

That kid is certainly worth the money. He puts in the time in the gym and his production this year is a result of that.

He shows improvement since he entered the league. Check out his average from year: 1,2,and now

So when that happens and the moment you score 22 and 6reb per in 24 games then u are a max player?

Dude, u either give him the money or someone else will come in and give it to him. The Bulls would be stupid not to offer him a similar contract to Klay Thompson. I would give him the money because he is not a one trick poney like the many May players we have on our roster
@holfresh: would u give max money to Damian Lillard????
Knicks1969 wrote:@holfresh: would u give max money to Damian Lillard????
Lillard has more of a track record, 3 years and just not 24 games, so he is legit..But he isn't a max player..A max player u build your team around..I don't think u build a team around Lillard, just not yet..But he is a very important piece for Portland...But then again, the way guys are being paid now with Bosh getting 119 and Heywood 16mil per, who knows..
