f***, JBB is drunk or high. Seriously...he has gone nuts.

 

[Stormbreaker]

8.5 BRUH JBB what u doin

 

[ccman68]

i've defended everything else but i can't do it for this one...

 

[Sky04]

8.5m what a joke

 

[Venzio X]

what an actual f***?

 

[ThunderRoad]

Uh...so he gets that AAV without first proving he can handle the extra responsibility?

 

[Stormbreaker]

I hate it.

 

[JoVel]

Sergachev just got 1m less than Point a year before lmao

 

[DistantThunderRep]

How the f*** is he getting paid fmore than Heddy?

 

[Rschmitz]

No discount for Sergachev, not sure he would have even gotten that on the open market.

 

[Master P]

People always forget about the cap going up. Also, he's a player you keep. Love that he's locked up long term.

 

[Point21]

its about 1-1.5m too much

 

[JTBF81]

Lol, 8.5, what a f***ing joke

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Whoa - this is a total transformation of the team going forward. I think the squad as we know it is over.

8.5 for Serg? Wow

We're in some shit going foward

 

[Stormbreaker]

People always forget about the cap going up. Also, he's a player you keep. Love that he's locked up long term.

Except it's not going up big until 2025.

 

[Point21]

 

[Peacefool]

Yep,probably Cap will go high next seasons, so Sergys contract would not look bad

 

[TheSchmidt]

was gonna make a comment that I'd prefer this over Cole even with the more years. Then I saw the Sergachev AAV and know why he had to go with 1 year deals

ugh

 

[Flat Ronnie]

No discount for Sergachev, not sure he would have even gotten that on the open market.

f*** yeah he would have

 

[DistantThunderRep]

This is all Jones and Werenski's fault.

 

[Master P]

Except it's not going up big until 2025.

Meh, I still like the deal. I know Serg isn't the type of player you let get away.

 

[Felonious Python]

TB has to develop Sergachev's focus.

 

[Sky04]

This is all Jones and Werenski's fault.

I'd trade Serg for either of them at this price.

 

[Rschmitz]

f*** yeah he would have

Maybe, but not by much if he did.

And that is without factoring in tax benefits

 

[Vasilevskiy]

We are done. It was a nice run
