No, Nets already had given Durant 1 season to rest, they gamble for that, so since he is back this coming season, they will be expecting that he will play as expected. Nets paid him some serious salary, I don't think they would not expect much from Durant, this is business, he must deliver because they are paying him millions.

That's an obligation as you said Nets are paying him good mount of money.

It's the right for this franschise to expect from him to carry the team, the last season rest is well enough Nets gave him free money
they spend that believing that after that rest KD will bring them and amazing performance so we will expect to see what's the worth
of this trade.

Just to be specific though.

Kevin Durant's 4-Year, $164M Nets Contract Includes Player Option

That's $164 million or $41 million per year in average.

I have a little question, does the nets paid him last season despite not playing?

That is a truth that you have said.

But him being a professional, he can cope up with the missed season that he has with last time.

We will see, if it is a great comeback or just a false hope for us, fans.

You can't measure his capability for him being professional, it's the way he plays and if his body will still continue to function as expected to him. Durant is no doubt a great fighter, a hall of famer but we can't just disregard a serious injury, so we can understand if people have a little doubt on him now.

It lessens the expectation of a player like him that just got an injury.

Many times and many great players got an injury and that made the noise for them a little lower and decreased a lot of expectations for them. But I'm sure that he won't be forgotten quickly as long as he can prove himself back again.

What a good amount for the contract of Vanvleet.
Raptors agree to huge four-year deal with Fred VanVleet
$85-m for his four year contract.

He's worth every penny. He had been improving a lot every year.

Agree with you, he is one of the reason why Raptors had its first championship, and last playoffs, he was very consistent.

Yes, his improvement can't be ignored through his NBA career. Toronto's taking good care of him. If most of the teams are like this for their players that are contributing very well, they'll get to see better performance from that player.
Good choice for Toronto.

One bad example is Siakam which was signed at $130 million for 4 years, but look at his performance during the Bubble.

Although his not impressive this year but I think we cannot determine that he's doesn't deserve on his contract, remember he is one of the key component on why raptors win the champ that's why he deserve the contract and maybe for now siakam is afraid on doing a contact to the other people since we know covid-19 still here so maybe that one bothered him so maybe let's excuse him for this season only and just give a verdict on next season if he s play the same then we can tell that he truly not deserve the contract.

He actually deserve the contract he have signed. Siakam is a good addition to any team and his value remains the same even the bad performance in the bubble (which was understandable because of the current pandemic). He was excellent in 2019 NBA finals, I don't think that's a bad contract as the Raptors is keeping him.

Most players who does not get a good contract yet will always play hard to improve and to impressed the fans so the management would like them and will give them a good contract, but afterwards, that's where some players would take it easy since they already get a good salary, they will not be too aggressive, they'll play soft basketball to stay healthy and still continue to make money.

If what he need is a team that relies in him then I guess he can prove himself with the Charlotte Hornets as Boston Celtics are playing with a lot of rotation, they changes their plays defending on their opponent but certainly Hornets are like an OKC team who relies on Westbrook or a Rockets team who relies on Harden.

I'm also surprised to see Javale leave the Lakers, he has improved so much with the team, but yeah I agree that they are looking to be more of a shooting team now, no Javale, no Howard in the middle. So more on a offensive run and gun attack, showtime Lakers. And management wise, it was clearing cap move.

As for Donovan, this guy deserves every cent of that deal, no doubt about that and Jazz make the right decision for giving him that max contract.

Well, they have too or they will be capped, and with the current situation, they really are clearing it.

They might not. They dumped the "lucky charm" named Danny Green. Grin

Dude is same as Lebron when it comes to championship in different teams. (3)
Just kidding.

We all saw Lakers won a championship without having problems in chemistry.
Frank Vogel is such a huge impact that even players with just 1-year contracts could make a good chemistry with each other.
But if I am to pick, I'd rather choose JaVale over Mark Gasol. They must be aiming for a shooting team instead of more inside plays.

JaVale McGee is also the lucky charm that has been dumped, imagine he already got 3 rings more than Kevin Durant has and even more to James Harden hahaha! Just for GAG! Grin

I do think McGee is explosive inside but in terms of outside shooting, you can rely on Gasol especially in the perimeter maybe that's the Center they wanted to acquire.

LMAO... lots of trade news now, it looks like in the coming season, we are going to see a new players in a team, we should be aware with this too. The future betting will again be affected with these news, so I think I'll just observe before playing a bet again.

Javale and Howard is not a big loss for the Lakers because they have Marc Gasol, him and Davis are quite good enough to improve their defense, just imagine, 3 big guys in the floor who are all good in defense, Gasol, Davis and Lebron James, Lakers still remain to have a big line up.

Lakers becoming a superteam now, Mark Gasol is always a threat in the inside, his defense is superb, have you seen him slowed dump Embiid? that was really impressive of him, another great find by the Lakers, they are building a team that will dominate the league, unfair. Grin

Both of them already become a champion and this time it will be a possible 2 Gasol that had a championship with the Lakers, who knows, if Gasol wins championship next season, he might still stay as the Lakers will continue to dominate.

Lakers are filling with all star players, they have an obvious plan, and that is to win back to back championship.

Anyone surprise by this news? Donovan Mitchell agrees to 5-year, $195M designated rookie max extension with Utah Jazz.

I think he deserves it though, Jazz is building their team around him and I would say that he is the leader, just wish he could stay healthy and reach max potential to bring the Utah on top of the Western Conference. It won't be easy, but with this challenge he can elevate himself to at least on top of the MVP discussion this season.

Nah he was going to get a max contract from anyone. Jazz have to keep mitchel he's nasty. If you let go of your superstars when you have them you will never compete. The salaries might seem crazy but if you don't pay them someone else will.

Not surprised at all because he was the leader of the team. What lacks though is the support cast around him. There is no one to lead the team when he was injured and most of the team are very inconsistent. So they need to surround Mitchell of good bench and role players to put Jazz on notice in the Western Conference.

His performance in the last bubble was enough for the management to make a good decision.

Jazz Star Donovan Mitchell Sets Historic Playoff Record in Game 7 Defeat against Nuggets

I would say the timing is good as he made history in the bubble and it's an automatic max contract.
