Reading in context would help. Too much money (2 highest paid players) for 2 combined shorter guards who don't play defense. If that isn't similar to Dame/CJ, further explanations probably won't help.
Ridiculous. Portland either overestimates the worth of their players, or is deathly afraid of losing them. Either way, they always overpay.
Oh my. This doesn't sit well. I think I was expecting between 18-20m. Now I'm actually worried about what they offer Nurk...
It's a tough call. The good news? He can potentially outperform this, so there's upside. The bad news? I'm not sure he does anything especially well other than shoot, and there's a chance he becomes just another guy. The length mitigates both of those things... he might outperform his last year, just in time to get a massive pay raise (and we'll have overpaid for two or three years) but at least we can get out from under it relatively quickly if it goes south. I wonder what we could have gotten by trading him and keeping CJ... we'll probably never know, but it would be interesting.
Well, at least we can take solace in the fact that KD seems to be an a-hole these days. I can continue to root against him.
That's pretty much what the Portland writers have been saying he'd get all season. I thought hoopsjock was in the ballpark with 4/88 but he got more. I was guessing 4/80 originally
Ant could totally outperform this deal, but for those saying Powell was overpaid as a means to saying the Clippers deal was good, should probably acknowledge that was a bad trade now.
Ain’t it the truth. Declining attendance and increasing salaries. Players jumping from one team to another in search of a ring, or demanding trades so they can join up with other stars. No loyalty to anything but $. It’s a circus run amuck.
