Jared Dudley: RT @mlkg721: @JaredDudley619 I'm glad you're speaking up on this. Taking a pay cut to win chips is ridiculous. Are Owners taking cuts?(Nope) Twitter @JaredDudley619 - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.Ib3Gnmbg.dpuf

Do you think he realizes how much money the nets lost last season trying to stack a team?

Do you think he understands that players taking less to stack teams is undercutting the spirit of competition in the league?

Lebron is crying because the stacked team he created didn't win its' third title in four seasons so he might take his ball and go somewhere else. What a bunch of pussies we now have representing the NBA.

Hey Jared, let me know when you pony up $500 mil to own a franchise to make $10 mil a year!

Do you expect your investments to go up in value?

I am with Dudley. I wuodn't take a paycut, but I also wouldn't bring the owners into this. If I am a player I think I can will my team to win. Problem is kids change high schools to build teams, same with AU, do it in college, so then why not do it in the pros?

I just think it's funny cause he's advocating against himself and players like him. Sure pay Griffin and Paul a combined 50-60 million, now cut the DeAndre Jordans, jj Redicks, Jared Dudleys, and Jamal Crawfords of the league by 25-50%.

Good point.

To be fair, the owners make quite a bit each year. It's not all in cash, but I would say even Prokhorov has made money on the Nets with the way franchise values have climbed.

That said, I agree that guys like Dudley would be making the minimum if it weren't for the player max.

Your crazy if you think the owners are only making 10 mil a year

It looks to me by looking at his twitter account that his argument goes a lot deeper than this tweet shows. From a couple minutes of reading it seems he is making an agrument that these players taking less money shows that the NBA is more of a hard cap than a soft cap. Its an interesting perspective.

Perfect article to show how completely stupid your opinion is

That thinking isn't being fair. With the exception of the clippers, most of these franchises aren't returning any more on investments than if the owners put their money in other vehicles. More importantly is the fact that they can lose money as well.

Most of these owners are active in their teams in one respect or another. Shouldn't they be paid for that time? What happens when some of the owners lose money like Taylor? I don't see Dudley handing back some of his paycheck. The players are quick to state this is a business when it suits their purpose, but a group investing hundreds of millions isn't allowed to make a profit?

Dudley's complaining about big markets not being able or willing to spend ridiculous sums of money to build super teams. So NY has asked Melo to take a paycut so they have more space to sign other guys. I have a solution for Dudley and these other candy asses. Stop crying about your situation and play harder to make it better. I think they should go to a hard cap and then Dudley will realize how easy they had it. Everyone isn't supposed to get a trophy!

This is why Lebron will never be considered to be on MJ's level. He has to have a stacked team to win a title.

Bruce Willis said it best in The Last BoyScout. FA has ruined the game!

What the hell are you talking about? The Clippers just sold for 2 billion dollars! He bought them for 13 million. That's a return on investment if I've ever seen it.

Glen could sell the team tomorrow and get enough to buy Lebron about 50 times over.
