Corliss Williamson lost about $40 million - projected top 2 pick in 94 draft. Went back to college to try to repeat with Arkansas. Next year rookie salary cap gets instituted and his game gets exposed as an undersized 4. Drops to 13 in the 95 draft. Number 2 pick in 94 Jason Kidd signed a $54 million rookie contract - Williamson made about $9 million for his rookie deal.

It kind of feels like an idea that it's beneath them to negotiate kind of thing from the outside in. But it may also be just so your phone isn't being blown up, agents are in touch with many sponsors in legitimate, known ways, and if you would want to reach out to Nike for example, your agent could handle that.

Teams have to spend money and have a full roster before a certain date on the calendar.

Boogie refuse the deal want to be like kd join the easy way to have chip. So even the contract are very low for his caliber but he think he can stay healty with no pressure come because without him gsw already fav champ. The six player have an issue want to have more so different sins that cousins want to be Champions and the other want to big contract. So basicly boogie are make weak move and the 6 player make greedy move (for who not injury so dont count rose and IT) For rose and IT its kinda be sad because the contract are ruined by the injury.

legendary collection Boogie didn’t leave the Pelicans for GS because he was ring chasing. He felt disrespected by the contract because before he got injured he was playing lights out and should’ve been given a max. Plus, that year instead of signing him before, they signed Julius Randle for big money. When they didn’t give it to him he said fuck yall and join a one year team at a chance to win a ring while he recovers. If he was offered that max deal, he would’ve stayed with AD. Comparing him to KD who would’ve gotten his max deal with OKC and left for GS is a weak move.

Follow-up: I found an informative article called 'The bizarre saga of Joe Smith's illegal Minnesota Timberwolves contract' on the 'For The Win' website. In this article Kevin McHale, who was VP of basketball operations for the Timberwolves at that time, explains: “There are eight to 10 teams that do this all the time. They’re just good at it. We’re bad.” The documents of their agreement with Smith got revealed because of the following occasion: “According to J.A. Adande, then of the Los Angeles Times, the entire plan was blown open when agents Eric Fleisher and Andrew Miller parted ways. Miller retained Smith and superstar teammate Kevin Garnett in the split, which prompted a lawsuit that led to the unearthing of many documents, including those detailing the Timberwolves’ illegal agreement with Smith.”

Nah the system was built around him, but he was efficient and a great asset and if they could’ve added Hayward like they did after they traded him, there’s a good chance the Celtics would’ve had another chip on their trophy case! It would have been a good max signing

The Joe Smith situation baffles me, this guy rejected 80M dollars legal money, to take three one year minimum deals, in hopes to make 86M three years later. This guy makes terrible decisions lol A. It's only 6 million more B. It's an illegal under the table deal which they could back out on, and/or both of you get in trouble, which did happen. C. Three years is a long time, you could get injured and then there's no chance they'll pay you that money All this for an extra 6 million lol, then he never got any of it. What a dummy

IT brought it upon himself for being too greedy. He is too much of a one way player. He is good at only offence and doesn't play a luck of defense. He became great only because the rest of the team is covering his arse in defense. Maximum he should get is half max deal for his half arse game.
