NBA Bad NBA careers

Didn't watch the video, but NBA fans are never happy.
Everyone wants players to be loyal, but anything other than winning championship equals a waster career.
Why is Booker's career wasted?

Booker will break all the franchise records, has played 47 playoff games at 29 and has made the finals as the leading scorer on his team.

Video was mostly about good players like Markannen and Beal who took the money but got stuck on bad teams so have never done anything memorable. Booker was a strange one to mention though because he had some big Finals games for instance. I do agree about McGrady being an incredible player with a terrible career, though that was due to injuries to both he and Yao really screwed up any chance at playoff success as opposed to him choosing the bag over winning.

Those are a completely different category to Booker.
There will always be players that "waste" their careers because almost every team will have a max player on their roster and some teams have to be bad because that's the nature of the competition.

I stopped watching that video when he started being gimmicky about Brunson's extension and tried to strawman that it wasn't a paycut.

You’d find that out if you watched the video.

Brunson got the MAX he could signing an extension. As stated in the video, he hypothetically could have received more by waiting and entering FA, but almost no one does that. He left zero dollars on the table signing in the timeframe he did.

Jokic just did.
Brunson was in an unusual situation since his old deal was so cheap, there's no way Knicks wouldn't have offered him a max barring a catastrophic injury.

A catastrophic injury is why most players don’t play out that lame duck year.

Forums are funny. I say MOST players don’t go into FA, and you give me one who did, as if that contradicts’most’.

I am with you wrt Arenas, and felt Melo is an empty calories player, although it would be a stretch to call him a bad player, but T-Mac? I just felt he's a #2 thrusted into the role of a #1. You pair him with Shaq and Duncan and they guy would have won 5 rings.
