I understand that teams in these contracts are paying for future production, not past production. If I’m going to give you like $100M, I’d like to have some past production. Patrick Williams has done some stuff, but like that’s just… if that’s the number, if that ends up being true and the Vassell deal ends up being the comp that his agents go to, that’s a lot of cheese.

Starting about 32 minutes into The Lowe Post.

“Wants big, big money starts with a 2 and isn’t $20”

This implies he’s asking for $200M

I think that's just assuming the worst. Literally anything between 21 and 29 works for that too

context wants to be your friend

Further on they say “I don’t know if I want to give him $25M” and they use Vassell as a comp, who is making $27M a year. So yes, they mean it’s anywhere from 21-29M a year.

So yes, they mean it’s anywhere from 21-29M a year.

at minimum it would have to be north of 25 since him getting $21M is close enough to 20 that it isn't something you make a distinction over. It has to be noticeably different to merit that kind of comment from Lowe.

No the other guy is right. Starts with a 2 and isn't 20: 25,26,27,28,29.

It's not implying 200 million.

[–] Lil-CBD@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He is not asking for 200 mil. They're talking per year. That's why he referenced 20 per. Which is kind of reasonable, but 24+ isn't.

[–] 3pointshoot3r@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't really think 20/y is reasonable for someone with as light a CV as his.

[–] sonicshumanteeth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

no it doesn’t. it implies he wants somewhere between $21m and $29m / year lol.

[–] not-who-you-think@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think he is even eligible to sign for $200M in total
