NBA Free Agency!
The last few days of NBA Free Agency has caused quite a frenzy with fans and teams. It is just amazing to see how many players have left and joined new teams, with one decision that is carrying the NBA Summer. Will WWKD? lol what will Kawhi Do? Most people are banking him to go to the Lakers, some think he will stay in Toronto. I honestly don’t know what he will do and don’t want to guess. I will just wait for him to announce.
Securing the bag is what most of the free agents who have signed have been able to do. In day 1 of NBA Free Agency over $2 billion dollars was awarded. It is amazing that companies hate discussing pay and yet you see the amount of how someone’s hard work can pay them. For example, Al Horford left Boston and signed a max deal with Philly for $109 million. The question poses in my head for businesses that don’t like to pay their employees or discuss pay why not?
When your employees see sports contracts shown it definitely brings the thought of why not go get what you are worth? Most employers rather than find a solution regarding pay or when an employee brings it up, they blow them off. Employers often forget that income is heavy decision maker when choosing to come on board for a job unless you are retired. So why make it a big deal? I’m glad you asked, from my personal experience I have found it difficult to get employed with a job I like because employers like to lowball salaries. I feel like if you put in the work and sacrifice a lot to learn skills, connect with new people then naturally the right opportunity will present itself with the perfect salary.
So how does this tie in with the NBA Free Agency? …On day 1 over 48 contracts were signed and a lot of players made the decision to leave surprisingly. We all know Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving both left to join up, but with KD out an entire year, we may not even see the success of that decision for awhile. I think one of the biggest winners of the draft was the Miami Heat and the acquisition of Jimmy Butler. I love his mentality and the way he plays and I know he will do well. Him and Dwyane Wade have a great relationship and it will be fun to see the role he plays in miami. Butler’s contract is worth $140 million over the next 4 years. CRAZY, that sport organizations can give out so much money but when you come back down to the real world, you see organizations have their wages at the bare minimum with it taking years for it to increase. What free agency shows me is that the opportunity will always present itself if you are working hard and believing in yourself.
Continue to seek your worth whatever that may be…..The right YES, will present itself.
I’m excited to see how the rest of free agency will play out and ultimately how the NBA Season will play out as well. Stay Tuned and keep watching, I am sure jaw dropping moves are on the way still. 🙂
Thanks again for reading! Happy 4th! Eat Some Good food for me LOL
