    Wiggins is one of the most overrated players in the league. He’s not Anthony Bennett or anything but he’s nowhere near as good as he was (is?) hyped up to be.

    And he is also a starter on a top ten defensive team.

    Not sure that has a lot to do with CJ but fine I can only name 28 players I’d rather have.

    I call bullshit. What SAC player would you rather have than C.J. McCollum?

    He also said "at least 1 on every team". Which is utter bullshit. I think he temporarily forgot how many bad teams there are in this league.

    There is no many SG better than C.J. I guess Harden, Klay, Butler, Beal, DeRozan. You could make argument for Booker. Harris from Denver and Avery Bradley are good, but not better than C.J.

    CJ is the 6th best SG in the league. The first 5 you named and Booker will all get max contracts in their next deal. Avery Bradley and Gary Harris will get close.

    Exactly. You need to either pay your top ten positional players at market value or sell the team because you are too cheap. I have zero regrets over CJ's contract, and I highly doubt Paul Allen or Olshey would disagree.

    Beal's max kicked in a year sooner therefore its slightly lower. It's like acting as if there's no max contract...

    BTW, I assume you mean "so many"... 5 out of 29 other starting SGs being better than C.J. isn't "so many"... It's actually only a few.

    I'm pretty sure this guy meant "not many" rather than "so many" from the context.

    It was @LayneStaley that was disparaging the CJ contract.

    I think he may be the new mixum/tunchi/grandjury

    Jlprk has been on the CJ bandwagon, but I take everything he says as a joke.
