Kandi is only considered horrible because of who he was drafted ahead of, but he did have a somewhat productive career. He just happened to be taken before Mike Bibby, Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, and a ton of other pros that ended up having really productive careers.
I agree about Vonleh, but if taking his salary means adding a future first or another asset, then why not?
I guess my point was that people keep bashing Bennett saying he is garbage and some of those same people are saying Leonard might have a breakout year
I do get it. You don't get it. The picks are lame compared to the Shit contract. Buying him out doesn't exclude his salary from cap. You are open for paying 20+ million for a couple picks?! I got a shack in Beaverton I want to sell you for $1,000,000. You can pay for it to be demo and build a strip club which couple possibly make you 1,000,001 in 10 years
I mentioned this before, is there a team that might want PEK who doesn't have the capspace and where we can facilitate the trade (make it a 3-way) and get "paid" for doing that? I can't remember who is playing C for New Orleans, but an offensive oriented C paired with Anthony Davis would be a very potent combo. Of course a lot depends on the prognosis for his recovery from his recent injuries. Without his injuries Pek at 12 mil per for the next 3 years is actually a pretty good deal salary wise considering the crazy deals this new cap is inspiring - the risk of course is his health and how much does he play the next 3 years.
I never stated how much I want back, but you said that we shouldn't because wed have Pek on the roster and it would take away from our development. Which is wrong. $20M is the max, as I could see him buying out for less. We'd need a package centered around a 1st or Shabazz. Howe very I doubt talks even happened because who randomly tweets "So and so teams are working on a major deal. Could all fall apart." Every deal could fall apart. He only did that to cover his back becauae it was a BS rumor that he blew dead later that hour anyway.
Mags if and I stress "if" Pek can stay reasonably healthy his 12 mil per is not a bad contract at all IMO given what we are seeing and will see with the cap going higher and higher, pair him with a guy like Anthony Davis and that could be potent. Pek for us and where we are makes no sense, for a contender or a team that's close and trying to e a contender it might make sense.
He'd fit well in New Orleans though but I can't see them taking his contract. They just resigned Asik.
12 mil maybe reasonable, but at what cost? Is he a better answer than Leonard or Vonleh? Is he better than Davis or Plumlee? That development playing time would greatly be a problem with these 4 players.
20 mil Max is still way too much. Are you saying we get Shabazz?! Lmao, how the fuck would Minny be stupid enough to add him to the mix. Shabazz, towns and wiggins are untouchable as far as they are concern. Bennett and Pek? Yeah fuck that bullshit
Mags I stated in one of my posts on this that he is NOT a good fit for US and where we are, but he might be for another team and maybe we can get "paid" for using capspace and facilitating a trade?
