What players deserve a max contract in the NBA?

[Carlos Bruise-Her]

i agree

bosh is that dude.....but he is no better than a second option or1b on a contender/consistent winner

They've surrounded him with wack ass white foreign players. What you expect to happen with that team?

 

[MillzOG]

Wade had a nice team though....he had Lamar Odom and Caron Butler didnt he?....and Lebron team still aint make the playoffs and he stole that rookie of the year smfh...

But with Bosh, i dont really blame him....look at that team Colangelo put together, it would work if the main star of the team was Pau Gasol or some shit....but Bosh aint tryna play the straight European style of ball where nobody cuts to the rack EVER and they play 0 defense...i think if Bosh was on this Cleveland team that Lebron has now I think they'd still be a championship contender (im not sayin they would be better)

smart man ^^^

Dwight doesnt seem to concerned with gettin better. only flashin goofy grins & swattin balls into the 3rd row for no reason when it could easily be a possession the other way

u must not have been watchin ball since the allstar break, Dwight is showin that improvement...looks way more comfortable in the post

 

[Dick Shitman]

Lebron, D wade, Bosh (his GM is terrible, it aint his fault), David Lee (6 year-80 million is fair imo). Thats it. Amare got inflated stats, and boozer is playing for a contract

david lee, but no dwight?

lthe raptors have a nice squad they just have no depth at all...its basically bosh, bargnani, hedo, jack and everybody else

let me rephrase what i said if bosh wants to win and contend right away he needs to tag along with another star like wade or lebron maybe durant....

Dwight is already signed for 5 years. I thought this thread meant players who are gonna be free agents

nah, my bad. i meant like, if everyone in the league was a free agent right now, which ones would deserve max money

lol .

LOL must have been the hawks and knicks GM

 

[Datdude87]

pretty much. melo had them in the western playoffs at age 19, with miller as his second best guy

lebron and wade improved their teams dramatically their rookie year. bosh had had the gm of the year in colangleo helping him for the past couple of years and cant get past the first round. obviously this doesnt all go on bosh's shoulders, but i cant see him being the #1 option on a title contending team

yeah...the media seems to ignore the fact that it took until lebron got into his 3rd year for them to even make the playoffs. granted they got farther but hell...melo still shoulda won that rookie of the year award. he's been n the playoffs every year...n the west. dat shit aint easy.

 

[KeepOnPushing]

Lebron,Wade, and When Ever Kevin Durant becomes a Free-Agent .....Them the only niggas i think could put a team on there back.

im not Naming Kobe because he's in his 30's and he obviously wouldnt be getting another max deal.

 

[Legend24]

LeBron
Wade
Bosh
Melo
Kobe
D-Howard
CP3
Deron Williams
Durant
Dirk

Bosh is a max player, he can be the best player on a championship contender. Swap him in for Tim Duncan on the Spurs and they're still gonna be a contender. Put him on the Celtics instead of KG and they'll still make it to the finals. Replace D-Howard with Bosh and the Magic are still gonna be a top seed in the East. A big man usually can't carry a team by himself because they don't run the offense. Guys like Kobe, LeBron, CP3, etc who control the offense can take matters into their own hands and take over the team when they need to.

i dont know about that one. bosh would make orlando's offense better but orlando has success bc of what dwight does defensively. bosh doesnt bring that

I see where you're coming from. I think Bosh's offensive game would make up for the losses on defense. No diss to Dwight but a polished offensive big man would wreck shit in Orlando. Bosh is a better passer as well and I think he'd be able to better utilize Orlando's perimeter shooters. I'd like to see Bosh on a decent defensive team... Toronto doesn't really play defense and I think that made Bosh's defense look worse than it actually is.

i can agree with that. i've seen bosh played nice D at time and he has all the tools to be a good defender. interested to see how he does with whatever new teammates he gets

 

[ysl313]

derserves a max contract = hard to gauge to me. It depends on how much the player wants and how bad we need the player. If CP3 wants max money, i'd be more inclined to give it if he brings in fans, media, and wins > just two of just him bringing in media and fans. Wins will bring fans, i'll pay for winners > just names and stats

 

[R.D.]

Wade
Melo
LeBitch I mean Bron
Kobe
Dwight
CP3
D.Will
Durant

and as far as dude who said replace KG with Bosh and Celtics still make finals. They definitely wouldn't and I'll leave it at that
