It's nice that he did not play with the Celtics anymore because he will not get that kind of contract.

I agree with you. I also doubt there will be a team that will offer him that kind of contract. I appreciate that the Hornets see his worth. There is no other point guard that is fit with the Hornet's system but Rozier.

But that shouldn't stop there. Hornets is still considered as a non-competitive team on their conference. If they can grant that kind of contract, they should try to sign a big name as much as possible.

They should because every team wants to win a championship. I have not heard any more news regarding the signing of new players for the hornets team, but maybe they will take it one step at a time, get into the playoffs first, then everything will follow, they still have Ball who had an amazing last season.

They are not titled contender yet, with the squad that they've formed it take one step

Bringing them to the playoff might be a good first step, acquiring fans' trust and start working with big stars to add up to their lineup.

Every team wants to win a title and for sure they also want one. It takes some time to allocate budget.
and open up good space for star caliber player/s to play with them and help them achieve this goal.

They had Gordon Hayward who was a star player back in the Utah Jazz, but when he got injured, his production has gone down and I think he is not enough to carry the team to the championship. If ever they'll reach the playoffs, I would not expect they'll be in the conference finals, winning the first round is already a big success for them.

For so many season pass Hornets didn't make any huge moves signing big stars on their team, I don't know if they are out of budget or maybe their scouts/management is not good on doing on recruiting a superstars which can help their team to get a good run on the finals, But if they keep their current rooster and make only a small move maybe we cannot see them on playoffs since as of now many teams are doing a good job for building their team and acquiring big names in the league.

Anybody talking about how Cade Cunningham the NBA’s #1 draft pick is getting paid his signing bonus 100% in Bitcoin through a partnership with BlockFi? That’s nuts… I can’t believe that this sort of thing is becoming normalized in professional sports. I hope he makes a ton of cash and becomes a major ally in crypto. Certainly others will be following in his footsteps.

Well, crypto companies are going big for their advertisement and partnerships with the sports business, which kinda good thing for us all in crypto space as it gives Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency an exposure for a possible additional adoption.

This is gonna be a win-win situation for the Rookie as he were able to make "pretty decent amount of Bitcoin" (I'm quite sure it's a big amount). He can just hold it and come back when Bitcoin hits a 6 digit figure.
I've seen a few athletes in different sports who were receiving crypto as their bonuses and as a few percentage of their salary.

I wouldn't be surprised if NBA players or other athletes have the opportunity to receive a full salary in crypto after few years. However, receiving crypto even as a bonus might be an ambiguous decision at the moment, especially for those athletes who don't fully understand the basics of cryptocurrencies. I mean, athletes should know how it works, and they also should be prepared for the fact that there is high volatility in the market.

The players should have the fundamentals if they'll going to allow receiving Bitcoin as their payment.

Without any idea with this environment they might hurt this market once volatility hits them.
Volatile nature means risk to their money, though it's a good progress.

Although it's no longer small community but a wider one that continue to bring more investors and
for sure NBA stars already have an idea about this market.

This is truly incredible. A few years ago we used to talk about whether such news about bitcoin could be true. We are living it now.
It's nice to see things like getting a salary, making contracts, paying with bitcoin.
With this deal, he will have earned much more money than many players in the NBA Cheesy

They'll earn big money if bitcoin will pump and they will cash out, however, I think they will not go all in, just like a typical investor, learning how to manage the risk is very important and we can't considering holding bitcoin as a way of saving money, if I'm a player, I would go for 70/30, 70% fiat and 30% in bitcoin considered for long term hold.

Great news for Terry Rozier, he had an amazing season with the Hornets, he got rewarded.

Terry Rozier, Hornets Agree on 4-Year, $97M Max Contract Extension

Quote

The Charlotte Hornets have reached an agreement with guard Terry Rozier on a four-year, $97 million maximum contract extension through the 2025-26 NBA season.

Aaron Turner, Rozier's agent, confirmed the deal to Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic.

It's nice that he did not play with the Celtics anymore because he will not get that kind of contract.

I think he already knew that he won't be a star in Celtics. It's too crowded with Tatum, Smart and Brown. So that's a good move that he goes to Charlotte and then show his talent that's why he was reward with that good contract, as compare with his team mates with the Celtics.

As for Cade Cunningham being paid in bitcoin, yes that is really a good news and it could really set a trend in the NBA in the future, with players readily accepting it as salary.

Great news indeed. Imagine your agent telling you, "Hey, your contract is 50 Bitcoin." That would be fun. Grin

It sound so small when you just look at the number but after conversion you will have a full wide eyes on how much it will be specially if you keep it for the whole season. The chance for the volatility to strike up is always positive.

It's not that the Hornets see is worth more than they have to overpay players to draw interest. Unfortunately there are some teams that can't draw free agents to sign and Hornets are one of them. They have to pay and hope that the player lives up to the pay. With that being said they have a nice core of young players and are a piece or 2 away from being serious contenders.

I want to see Gordon Hayward go back to his old self. I think he was hit hard mentally by injuries. At 31 years old, this is his prime and it will boost the Hornets team if he could lead the way for a playoffs game.

It will make crypto more popular and of course, the betting sites as well because when we talk about sports, sports betting is always linked to the mind of the gamblers. More players getting into crypto will make the organization aware and they'll eventually adopt as well to compete with the new trend.

It's very good news and I believe it will have a long-term positive effect on both players and crypto itself.

A decent amount are doing it now. When you consider these Rookies were 8-9 years old when bitcoin started coming around they grew up with it so it's getting normalized. I always said it will take a generation to become "normal" and we are almost there. A ton of athletes are talking about it, which should be fun to watch. I'm a cade fan now

Surely they will, especially if they will find out how lucrative it is to make money in crypto. Spencer Dinwiddie seemed to be the first man I know who is promoting crypto, but now, we have other players who are popular as well that are into crypto, it's a good sign for adoption, eventually, some players would just ask to get paid in crypto than in cash.

KAT is not as valuable player as everyone thinks, he is definitely not a scrub neither but he is not as valuable as people make it out to be.

According to his stats, I think he is really valuable.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/townska01.html

you can barely see a big man who had that kind of stats, if you'll ask me to rank the best Center in the league now, I'll definitely put KAT in the top 3.
Maybe people just have a different opinion, but KAT would not become one of the highest-paid players now if he does not have the skills.

KAT is not as valuable player as everyone thinks, he is definitely not a scrub neither but he is not as valuable as people make it out to be. Wolves are acting as if KAT is something special, I would say just get picks for him, get as many picks as you can, if you can get just 2-3 first round picks from a team, then just get another player that may worth one first round pick and trade that player too, so it will be like give KAT get 2-3 picks plus Jrue, then trade Jrue and get 1 more first round pick.

Those type of thing is quite important and I would say that it is definitely going to be very valuable for them, trade D'lo while you are at that as well. They need to properly rebuild, I do not understand why they are not doing that at all, they should be able to basically just trade everyone else because it makes no sense to be this level of a team, totally useless.
