ESPN's RPM really likes him, he was the 30th pf last year when he wasn't making or taking shots, and 7th or so this year. I think it's probably about 4m per year overpay but he fits their spurs international players are culture stuff, I don't think they were willing to lose him

Also even if last season's 3p% is an outlier his career 3p% (over his three seasons) is still .399

You could call him a proven shootist

¡Hola SEA!


If the Warriors bring back Iggy and Livingston that's a hell of a coup, and we should all be so lucky as to have team owners willing to pay out hundreds of millions for wins. Actually we should be so lucky as to not have team owners but in the meantime

this is at least more on point if we're doing some dumb ring counting, like nobody cares about your stupid 50s and 60s titles, Boston/LA/etc. even that showtime poo poo is like 200 years ago at this point

In the context of overall team value it's a pittance. League structure and salary cap considerations are antiquated constructs, frankly

It was an article I bet you read it idk but it was about trading him only for cap space or whatever

He's a cool guy and he does try but I will always remember the '17 playoffs easy catch he had to skate to the rim and he loving boofed it.

All that's missing is the ring.
I know I'm a bit late and Kibner's already railed against it but I'm pretty much alright with the Jrue contract. I think it's a slight overpay that's going to look better (or look more palatable) as the years go by.

If dudes like Teague are getting 19mil and Hill is commanding more than 20 mil then Jrue, a better and younger player than both, is at least worth more than that. 25's probably an overpay of like 2-3 million given the market but I don't think Demps wanted to play chicken with stupid teams like The Knicks or cap rich teams like Minnesota and Brooklyn. I think the fifth year was probably the cinch in that because we had plenty of time to figure out what other teams were willing to pay Jrue. If some team was going to toss 4/100 at him then we have to offer the same at 5.

Signing him was pretty important to keep our exceptions so he had a lot more leverage, but I can stomach a minor overpay. It's basically what you've gotta do in a smaller market with no history of success.

Team value doesn't mean anything unless you sell the team. National TV and merch outside the arena is all split, so it comes down to tickets and local TV deals to finance deep luxury tax spending. I can't find any recent stuff about their TV deal. Also we now have the sponsor logos which they are saying is worth 15-20 mil a year, well that's what they are asking for.

Morey saw what he had to give up for Shumpert and decided to just get better but older Shumpert now.

Would be interested in how many years are guaranteed. 4 years for a 32 year old is something.

tucker seems like a nice pickup. 4 years at his age isn't ideal, but not a huge deal at 8m. Morey is clearly on the hunt for defense at the moment, which makes sense.
