Also, it is important to note that you can learn spells from monsters higher than you, but you must be able to get to them dungeons trials must be unlocked, but you can be carried. Getting rid of fully guaranteed contracts helps owners, but it also helps fans, because it would allow teams to cut overpaid underperforming players.

Time to get rid of fully guaranteed contracts
Post #1 » by righterwriter » Fri Feb 24, 2023 7:49 am
For anyone sick of what's been happening in the NBA the last several years, where players make trade demands, sit out tons of games, and quit on their teams, its time to support eliminating fully guaranteed contracts.
I never understood the need for making contracts fully guaranteed. It gives far too much leverage to players to sulk their way out of playing for the team they signed with. It gives highly paid players the power to shape the roster, coaches, and front office, almost always to the detriment of the franchise. It does nothing good for anyone except for the player to hold the team and fans hostage.
Imagine the Nets being able to cut Kyrie and Ben Simmons after their different but similar types of debacles in Brooklyn. Kyrie doesn't want to play because he feels he's being "unappreciated"? Simmons has lost his passion (amazingly, coinciding with his signing a massive contract) and becomes a $35M/yr bench player. Alright, you're out the door, now earn another contract. Let's see what the open market has for you.
I guarantee that players would be motivated to play if they knew they had to prove their worth from year to year. Imagine guys making $20M+/yr having the same desire as a guy on a minimum salary contract who wants to get paid. The intensity and the commitment would go up by a huge magnitude. Players that would be afraid of losing out on their recently signed contract for sulking or not showing up in order to get traded to their handpicked choice of a team would likely pull back on the reins, knowing that the next contract they signed would likely not be worth as much.
There's no reason why the NBA can't have an NFL-type of contract set-up, with a signing bonus, roster bonus, and achievement bonuses along with a yearly salary that has to be earned or else they can get cut.
The only people who don't benefit from that are the highly paid players and the agents. It's out of balance, and for the sake of the league and those that support it-- us fans-- it needs to be changed in the next CBA negotiation.

The NBA can offer contracts that are not fully guaranteed. Zion's recent contract had numerous protections because of his injury history.
What you're missing is the fact that when teams are scrambling to sign a player, it's not the team doing the player a favour. They want the guy to sign, if they put a load of stipulations in the contract they'll go else where.

Neat in theory but there’s a players union who is going to do union things.
Incentive riddled contracts should be the norm IMO though.

Few contracts have to be fully guaranteed (the first two years of 1st round pick contracts being a rare exception). Teams choose to give out fully guaranteed contracts. Teams have the choice not to, if they feel that it will give them a competitive advantage.

Teams can already offer non-guaranteed contracts, or base part of the salary with incentives, or add team options in.

Then they need to commit to getting rid of them. I know that's easier said than done, as all it takes is a couple of owners to throw caution to the wind and make dumb offers which ruin things for the rest of the league. But its become the norm and its screwing over owners, and more so its screwing over fans that don't want to see these constant trade requests or guys who go downhill once they sign a deal.

I'm still puzzled why the Suns front office decided to let Jae Crowder sit at home and not show up to games at all.
Teams can't be held hostage by whiny entitled brats like him and Ben Simmons and I think the owners are well within their right to withhold pay from players that refuse to show up to training camp and show up to games.
Getting rid of guaranteed contracts however would never work and no way will the NBA players union agree to this, they just need to put a clause in their contracts that players will forfeit their pay if they don't show up to play.

Getting rid of fully guaranteed contracts helps owners, but it also helps fans, because it would allow teams to cut overpaid/underperforming players.
Aside from the fact that the players union would never go for it, I don’t like the idea because NBA GMs tend to suck as is, and this just gives them a get out of jail free card. Front offices need to get better at their jobs is the real issue.

One of the main criticisms of the Magic Mouse is its ergonomics. It has a flat design that may not be comfortable for everyone, especially for those who need additional wrist support. Some users find it difficult to use for extended periods, leading to discomfort and potential strain on the wrist. Another drawback is the lack of customizable buttons. Unlike other mice that offer programmable buttons that can be assigned to specific functions or shortcuts, the Magic Mouse has only one physical button and relies heavily on touch gestures. While this may be sufficient for some users, others may find the lack of customization limiting. The price of the Magic Mouse is also a consideration. Compared to other wireless mice on the market, the Magic Mouse is significantly more expensive. This may deter some potential buyers, especially those who are not avid Mac users and do not require the specific features offered by the Magic Mouse. In conclusion, the Magic Mouse is a sleek and innovative mouse with a touch-sensitive surface that sets it apart from other mice on the market. However, its high price, lack of ergonomic design, and limited customization options may make it less appealing to some buyers. Ultimately, the decision of whether the Magic Mouse is worth the price depends on the individual's needs and preferences..
Reviews for "The ergonomic factor: How does the Magic Mouse compare to other mice in terms of comfort?"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really excited to try out the magic mouse after hearing so many positive reviews, but I have to say, I was disappointed. The price is just not justified for the performance and features it offers. The design is sleek, but the ergonomics are horrible. It's uncomfortable to hold and use for extended periods of time. Additionally, the lack of customizable buttons is a major drawback. I would not recommend spending your money on this overpriced mouse.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - I regret splurging on the magic mouse. It looks fancy, but that's about it. The battery life is incredibly short, and it constantly loses connection with my computer. The scrolling is also very sensitive, making it difficult to navigate websites or documents without accidentally zooming in or out. The lack of a right-click button is inconvenient and hinders productivity. Save your money and invest in a more reliable and functional mouse.
3. Mike - 2/5 - The magic mouse is far from being worth its high price tag. The touch-sensitive surface is gimmicky and lacks precision. It often misinterprets my gestures and ends up doing the exact opposite of what I intended. The lack of grip is another issue; it frequently slips out of my hand, making it frustrating to use. Overall, the performance does not live up to the hype, and there are much better options available at a lower cost. I would not recommend buying the magic mouse.
