    That's insane. Reminds me of the deal Tyler Johnson got. Crazy money for an unproven player.

    Damn, that's Eric Gordon-level salary right there. Why would the Nets negotiate agains themselves?

    Preaching to the choir. I was never for that deal. I never liked parsons, thought he wouldn't fit the GNG mentality. I mean lets get real, we are talking about GNG, and then we bring in a dude that cares more about his hair than playing basketball. I hated that move.

    As a Nets fan, this is great news. The only concern is that LeVert has some history of injury problems. But as a player, I think he has the potential to be an All-Star...

    I

    Levert has proven more than Johnson had at that point.

    He is a legitimate guy who can create his own shot on a winning team.

    WOW, that amount seems pretty low for what LaVert can do! Fantastic deal for the Nets.

    Brooklyn is gonna be capped out and going all in next season. Even if he doesn't take a big step this year and it turns out to be a bit of an overpay, it shouldn't really effect their cap flexibility that badly. If they're a franchise willing to spend to win that is, which not every team is....

    Multi-tooled swingmen are extremely valuable in today's game. The only real question is injuries.

    Some owners are serious about winning.
