i understand most of the ridiculous and convoluted machinations of how money is allotted in the NBA.

i understand how all players are viewed through the pyramid shaped lens that the overall NBA salary structure is...I just dont buy into it.

I get it that Oshae had as little leverage as one can possibly have in terms of signing a multi-year deal in the NBA...he probably signed that contract with his hands tied behind his back, basically.

when i look at players like ben simmons kyrie zion kawhi etc and how they are disrespcting the league that pays them basically...they are all making a mockery of the sport with their commitment to play...and then players oike john wall on 44million being paid to not play etc...

when I then read people saying how oshae just needs to put his head down and accept his lowly status and be stoic...i dont like it and i dont agree.

it smacks of elitism and this idea that successful people are better than the rest of us and that we should accept our low spot on the totem pole and be grateful and that only the upper crust of the world doesnt have to follow the rules

if i want to win in the nba next season i pick oshae over zion. bc zions likley going to be on the sidelines eating big macs all year again cashing his sneaker checks. and oshae def wont be doing any of that.

but who cares about winning? none of the players seem to...
