Fans doesn't engaged much in body structure, exceptionally in the case where the player is consistent and keep an outstanding performance. Tall players are more prone to be insecure on the court, and they are more likely to sustain injuries during games, particularly the tough ones. Furthermore, not all coaches desire slender athletes; some have the strength to play the game, but their body structure will simply make them appear weaker and more vulnerable to their opponents, who are hugh. In the case of LeBron James, he's one of the biggest names in the game, and his powerful physique sends a clear message that he's ready to play in any game-specific style.

Dirk was actually more loyal IMO after all those years they failed to win a championship and still stayed until they get it in 2011. Kobe on the other hand was lucky to have every player they had in their roster compliments perfectly with each other. After Shaq left, he got Pau, Lamar, Artest and couple of other role players that was very effective in their rotation. We don't even know what Kobe's next move if none of those have worked for them. Don't get me wrong I am not hating on late Kobe Bryant, I was just stating some possible scenarios, because it only takes extraordinary kind of loyalty to stay on a losing team while wasting away your talent and retire without getting a single ring.
But you're not wrong though, Embiid is most likely going to become the Lillard 2.0 who will demand a trade if he thinks he did not get enough help and the management are not helping him. Otherwise, he'll opt out when he hits free agency.
Also, KD is actually over-doing it, so that kind of hurt his legacy LOLOL!

It's sports and there are freak athletes and I think they deserved a good pay if they really had that talent and teams are willing to shell out millions of dollar to get that player and hope that it will help them win championships ring.

And as we can see as well, high school and college players are dreaming of this kind of contract that's why they try to play hard and show their true potential because one day they could be in the NBA with a good amount of contract and obviously their lives can change to the better.

I thought that there is a trade already involving James Harden.

Someone that I talk last night says that he is going to the Bucks in exchange of Holiday. But so far I can't find any news of it so maybe he is just playing with me. Nevertheless I'm going to see him tomorrow so I'm going to tell him that it's not true, Lol.

In any case though, do you guys think that it's a good trade for the Bucks to let go of Jrue to get Harden?

Maybe the NBA will have to do something about it. Nevertheless, if it is going to be entertainment and money making machine then we can't stop teams from offering players that huge contract.

And NBA salary is just normal if we are going to compare it to other sports like Football for example.

So maybe that's what teams are thinking here, they can still get back that huge money from players if fans are going to watch their game because they have a superstar.

If the bucks is willing to break the chemistry and wanted to re-arrange their system, then it might work out.

But in terms of individuality, I still pick Jrue over Harden, more on a 2-way role player who can shoot and play good defense is
how I'm gonna describe Jrue, while Harden, more on individual stats though there's a slight change since he's more in a passing
type now, but in terms of defense, that's what he's missing, as per my opinion.

Holiday for Harden, that's a bad idea because Holiday plays at both ends of the floor, unlike Harden, who does not play good defense. When the Bucks won a championship, I believe Holiday was one of the big reasons why it happened. So, I don't think it's necessary to break up their lineup just because they had an early exit last playoffs. I believe it's part of the game, and they just have to continue developing their chemistry as they are still considered a championship team.

It's the value that matters because if the $100 million in the next 5 years is equivalent in value to $50 million this year, then that would not change anything. It's only the figure, not the value. Teams may be paying a lot of money, but it's not something that will lead them to bankruptcy. At the end of the day, they are still paid more than they spend.

LeBron is a good example because, despite being an exceptional player, he still ensures to take care of his body. You can really tell that he is a disciplined man, unlike other superstars who love to party and enjoy their fortunes made in the NBA, which can lead them to forget about their future. At Lebron's age now, he still a decent player who could easily average a double double, so I'm sure he'll stay for awhile.
