Dray's comments to Thompson and Slater may have hurt his future revenue as a businessman. Hard to trust someone to be a VC partner or a media personality with his statements wrt playing for LeBron on a vet min if he doesn't get a max from the Warriors. There has to be some info we aren't privy to -- maybe a lowering of his minutes for next season, or a discussion if he has to transition to a lower salary like how Andre transitioned from full time to a bench player.
2: Whatever they pay JP, it should be less than Loon, but I don't know how he much gets now so ...
I found the numbers for Kevon, JP, and the under-22 crew. This list includes a 3X Champion, who played every game this year, had his best season ever, he hit 63.6% from the field in the post season, he's 25 and still learning. That man is SECOND, and this is a NEW contract!

"JP should get the MAX" comes up. I think:
1: Pay Wiggs!

JP deserves to be paid, but I still think Loon merits a bit more.
