You are worth what they give you.
When I think of MAX contracts, I am thinking about players who can carry a franchise, but if you aren’t that type of player, but a team wants to give you a MAX deal, take the money and run.
That is what it seems Noah is about to do.
According to sources, the Wiz are locked in on making a major offer to Joakim Noah. The Wizards are said to be willing to offer Noah, coming off shoulder surgery that KO’d him in January, a full maximum contract. His deal would start at $28 million and reach around $120 million over four seasons.
Noah has been injured over the last two years, when healthy he is a fringe all-star player who plays with a lot of heart and brings intangibles to a team.
Salute to him if he can finesse a max deal out of Wizards.
