$10 million a year for a somehow lovely version of Bruce Bowen. At least Bowen could hit a wide open three Can someone tell me how Roberson had a 108 ORtg when he shot 46% from the field, which is alright, but then 24.5% from 3 and 42% from the FT line

BIZORT posted:$10 million a year for a somehow lovely version of Bruce Bowen. At least Bowen could hit a wide open three He didn't take many 3s or FTA, so his TS% isn't putrid, it's merely bad. But his usage is low so it doesn't bring it down much. He doesn't turn the ball over, manages to get more assists than giveaways, grabs offensive boards now and then. Basically he only hurts an offense by doing nothing, but ORTG doesn't care about that. His 9.1 PER reflects the nothing. I think his contract isn't very good but also probably not very bad. I'm glad my team isn't paying it though. Lockback fucked around with this message at 11:55 on Jul 6, 2017 |

I wouldn't say Roberson is a better defender than Allen, and Allen is more athletic even at this stage of his career. Tony can make enough free throws to make you think twice about fouling him and he's not going to airball his threes. Even in at the same stage of his career Tony was a better shooter than Roberson, too. Roberson is a project who's been thrown out there to play while Allen was/is more polished

$10m per for a guy who does one thing really well isn't so bad when you consider how many guys get near $20m to do nothing well.

Metapod posted:He was literally the second best player on the thunder that series But said series was a 5 game first rounder, so maybe that's not exactly the highest mark you should be shooting for. I don't think that contract is terrible or anything, but I feel as if you need to judge OKC on a curve when it comes to how they use their cap space, given that they've already blown up one potential dynasty at the mere possibility of dipping into the repeater tax. Then again, they do need to go all-out to keep Westbrook, so maybe just saving the space for next year isn't really a viable option.

I really thought LeBron was smarter than to go back and work under Dan Gilbert. I hope he leaves again. Gilbert's never going to stop pulling the same crap.

Okay what about the 2016 playoffs where he played well and was an important cog to getting to the wcf and getting up 3-1 in said wcf. What I'm saying is he plays well in the playoffs and Billy uses him very effectively so this idea that he's unplayable and isn't worth 10 per year is very dumb

I mean, he's useful for them, they can't really spend the money on anybody else, and if George/Russell leave they're hosed anyway + his contract won't matter for the year or two it sticks around

10 million, aka 10% of the cap for a rotation player who is young is a pretty good deal. Dude can legitimately defend every wing in the league.

Avery Bradly and Marcus smart are both going to become way more expensive. Everyone seemingly hates Danny Ainge and he has absolutely no bargaining power. Every single person that he calls should demand, at the very least, the Clippers or Grizzlies pick.

Paul Zuvella posted:Was Zach Lowe drunk when he tweeted this? Seems pretty clear to me. He's saying that Boston shouldn't just throw in Smart/Crowder/Bradley in a sign-and-trade for Hayward to Utah. Those guys can fetch assets from another team, so unless Utah wants to pay an asset Boston should trade them to another team and sign Hayward outright. My only question is why a sign-and-trade for Hayward is beneficial when they can just sign him outright after offloading salary.

Those guys can fetch assets from another team, so unless Utah wants to pay an asset Boston should trade them to another team and sign Hayward outright. Because negotiating from a completely powerless place is a bad place to be. Utah is the only one who could live taking on those guys without caring because they don't want to be left with nothing when Hayward bolts. Every other single team in the league would be negotiating from a position of power with the Celtics. Literally every single one. Ainge literally has to move some of these contracts, he has no choice. Every team should be demanding something extra from him for what is essentially doing Ainge a solid, even if the players he is trying to dump are good. The only team that should maybe even consider taking on a dude for free is like, the 76ers with Jae Crowder or maybe Bradley.
