that's why he gave context of the joke and said mack was going along with the joke so people would understand what he was talking about but apparently that wasn't clear enough.
the context being that no one should take anything said on this podcast seriously anyways, i get that. its mostly jokes. I just thought it was relevant to note that it is in fact about mackinnon and not bisonnette
What’s he supposed to say? Biz says Barrie’s worth 9M. Should Nate respond and say “nah man I think he should only get 6”.
Obviously he’s going to agree with it in the public eye. He’s not going to bash his teammate/best friend. The interview was in June.
Mackinnon never brought it up. He didn’t out of the blue say a dollar figure that Tyson Barrie deserves. Biz said Barrie should get 9M on his next contract and Nate agreed with him.
Christ, people will search for anything in August.
youre acting like is the first time a player has been asked about another players salary.
Russel Westbrook comes to mind. He was asked if James Harden was a "max player." He simply said that James harden is a great player for their team and thats what he's focused about.
but all of this is besides the point. I dont care what mackinnon said and i dont even think he's wrong i just wanted everyone to know that although it may be a running joke with biz, the thread is about mackinnon saying something
