00:00SGA got four years, $285 million Supermax extension, $71.25 million per year, now the highest annual salary in the NBA from your guy SGA, $71 million a year. Must be nice.
00:19I mean, that is staggering. And I guess the next one will be $85 million and then it'll be $100 million. I mean, without a doubt, that's where we're headed. There's no stopping it. They make a fortune, these teams. I think the new TV deal with NBC and the Prime deal, whatever, is so enormous for these teams that they're just swimming in money.
00:41Swimming. And they're swimming in lots of it. Like a big in-ground pool with the diving board that goes down 12 feet on the one end. It's like that kind of pool that they're swimming in. Jaron Jackson Jr., Memphis, five years, $240 million. Like you say, the numbers are there, but there's just nothing that, nothing excites me about Jaron Jackson Jr. I don't know.
01:08You're giving him basically the second highest deal in the NBA. And what do you get for it? They don't win anything. So like they don't matter. I mean, let's just face facts. Like they fired their coach. They got all their problems with players like Ja, et cetera. I mean, I like the Grizzlies until they fade away. They fade away every year, right?
01:37They just eventually disappear. And that's all there is to it. And you're giving this guy all this money. For what? Like, I guess so you can have a star player.
01:50Here's another thing. Nobody cares about him. I know they care about him today when they're talking about all the money he's making.
01:57But when do we ever really sit around here, honestly, talking about, you know, Jaron Jackson Jr.
02:04And all this, I heard Triple J and everything. When have you ever heard anyone say that ever?
02:11Anywhere? No one does. They talk about LeBron James sitting on a toilet more than they talk about this guy's game.
02:19No one ever talks about Jaron Jackson ever. When do they do that? Ever?
02:24Never. Like, never. If you make that kind of money, you have to be a superstar.
02:32That's all there is to it. And I've never once thought of him as a superstar.
02:37I don't deny he can play. I don't deny he can shoot from outside. I don't deny he's good.
02:43But he's, in my view, he's no superstar. He's not a superstar. If he's a superstar, we talk about him all the time.
02:49Every day. Here's another guy, Joel Embiid, right? They pay him all his money.
02:56But no matter what, whether he plays or not, we're always talking about him, right?
03:03Like, that's when you know you're worth the money is when they talk about you, even when you don't play.
03:09But how about a guy that plays every night and we never talk about him?
03:12And don't even tell me I'm wrong. No one ever talks about this guy. Ever.
03:17So have fun with that contract. You're going to regret that until the day is blue.
