Regular G league folks make like $35K, now all of a sudden they want to take high school kids and pay them $125K. That is a slap in the face.

So do you whine when LeBron gets $35 mil and the bench players get $500k?

Hint: If the G league folks were better than the kids about to get the $125k, then they would get $125k, or far more, by moving up to the NBA.

How about you sit back and let those who own the teams make the decisions about how to spend their money, and on whom, okay?

Massive difference between LeBron who has a proven ability to get a team consisting of corpses to the finals, not to mention putting butts in the seats and increasing ratings getting paid fat money and some chump out of high school that no one actually knows yet if he’s going to make the transitioning getting paid almost 4 times as much as the regular players.

These high school kids might, maybe, possibly, but not, be LeBron. Walking in with zero experience and getting paid multiples of the established pros IS an direct insult to the rank and file of the G league.

I’m not vetoing anybody’s decisions. I’m just pointing out that this decision is ill considered.
