Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Steve Kerr’s about to finally get paid his worth

Kerr’s had a deal that’s about the league median. That’s gonna change soon.

Steve Kerr is reportedly about to get paid, per Woj. Yeah, he’s already richer than you are, but as far as the market he’s in is concerned he’s pretty criminally underpaid for a coach that’s produced what he has.

Kerr has now piloted the Warriors to three championships, came 48 minutes away from a fourth, and had the best regular season in the history of the sport. Yet, he’s just completed the fourth year of a $25 million deal. That’s enough to pay the rent, but it ain’t even in the top-five of coaches in the league.

Kerr’s average salary is $5 million per year. There is no other way to put it: The Warriors are getting an incredible coach at a stupendous value. He earns around the same amount as Mike D’Antoni, Luke Walton (who just finished his second season as a NBA head coach), and Fred Hoiberg (who just finished his third). It’s not the lowest salary in the league, but it’s less than half of guys like Gregg Popovich and Doc Rivers — who admittedly have personnel control over their teams. Basically, Kerr’s deal at the time it was signed was requisite value, but now he’s outstripped that salary due to his achievements.

Due to the fact that it’s seen as a faux pas within the league for a coach to enter the final season of a deal without an extension, the Warriors are making a move to lock up their man and pay him what he’s now worth.

Without knowing the details of Kerr’s deal yet, we can ballpark Kerr’s yearly salary with some back of napkin math at around $9 million. Popovich makes $11 million on average — the highest in the league — Rivers makes $10 million, Tom Thibodeau makes $8 million (and additional bonuses of around $3 million), and Scott Brooks makes $7 million.

Kerr doesn’t have personnel control for the Warriors, so he might not make Popovich money, but it’s totally fair that he should at least come close.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
