“In the NBA if you sign a bad contact they’re only for 5 years. In baseball, Robinson Cano’s is 10, Pujols’ is 10, and David Price is 7. I have no problem paying James Harden $230 Million because I nnow at the end of his contract, James Harden even if he got injured, is still going to be awesome. My bigger concern is signing a 10-year contract that I can’t get out of.”
Four years, $170 Million may sound like an incredibly reckless investment for a player who’s never played in an NBA Finals, but Colin Cowherd believes $42.5 Million dollars a year, a record in North American sports, really isn’t that outrageous given the fact it's highly probable that he's going to be putting up the best statistics of his life during those next four years.
It’s the contracts where you’re paying FORMER stars huge money that they deserved years prior, that really leave you scratching your head.
