2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yes u don’t pay small 1 dimensional guards
that kinda $$$

You do that deal every time if your org is in Salt Lake City of all places

He got a similar deal to Jamal Murray

 

[smedroc]

Donovan averaged like 38 and dudes saying he was overpaid?

For a 7 game series in which he lost

He was 24ppg for the year...

He’s a max player though so Utah had to give him the whole bag.

 

[rolaholic]

Disgusting overpay for D Mitchell

Who else are they gonna pay?

Utah's not getting high profile FA's like that man

 

[gregory house]

did not watch a lot of kings' games last year. Can yall remind me of why there's an arms race for Bogdan?

good secondary ball handler/playmaker and when he’s shooting consistently from the field he’s hard to guard

some of his shot selection though infuriated me and he does this double pump fake three point shot at least once a game that would want me pull my hair out

he’s 28 so he’s bit older than the younger kings core but I don’t see a reason why the kings wouldn’t match

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

This doesn't really solve their passing/playmaking issues.

Very true indeed. Chemistry will be ultimate key

 

[casper90403]

Donovan is a max player. Not much to discuss.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

You forgot Covington. He's gonna start over Melo.

Yeah and also I think they could start Covington at the 4 and Hood at the 3

 

[B Sox]

Without question. Really just some trolls saying otherwise.

36/5/5 at 24 years old. There wasn’t anything more he could do the push them over the top.

and he’s a top 5 player at his position. It’s a no brainer.

 

[N41D]

Utah has to do it. That doesn’t mean it’s not a silly number for what he is.

 

[QU!K]

Mitchell is an all-star and the face of the franchise

What do you expect them to pay him?

Calling it now, Hawks in the playoffs this year.

If they get Bogdan, we'll be seeing the new era splash bros with Ice Trae and Bogdan.

And they're deeper with added vet presence.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Where was this uproar for D. Fox's same contract lol

They both were going to get the contracts because of their talent and because of the cities they play for

Booker got a similar deal. Murray got a similar deal. Simmons got a similar deal. Ingram gonna get a similar deal

The only player I'd say for sure is better than Mitchell out of those is Booker

 

[B Sox]

Imagine not thinking a 24 year old top 20 scorer in the league on a West playoff team isn’t worth a max. IN UTAH.

Brain dead.

 

[casper90403]

there are many players getting paid max who are not worth it. Thats not the point.

Westbrrok
Wall
PG
Kemba
Tobias
Conley
Hayward
Wiggins
Fox

Just to name a few. And we're hear debating Donovan???

Slow morning

Bet $50?

There’s also like 50 max contracts in the league, lol. It’s not like they are reserved for the top 5 players.

minus Wiggins all of those guys had the combo of production and winning when they got the deal. Are they worth it now? Not all of them.

there are 30 teams in the league with usually 2 max slots per team. That’s means you’re a top 60 guy. Max deal doesn’t mean top 10 player

 

[BIG FISH]

Russ PG Kemba and Wall were all-nba guys when they signed their deals, they are absolutely worth the max lol

 

[casper90403]

I think many like to equate max contract to being a superstar.

If you're good and the face of the best player on the team (and young), you're getting maxed out. Plain and simple.

 

[703 hwy]

John Wall. Even when he was healthy wasn’t a max player. But unfortunately that’s how the league is. Then they wanna get mad

Absolutely correct. Max contracts are just max contracts. It forces teams to pay it because you have to keep your asset.

Good point in saying 60 players can get max deals, so thats all you have to do is being a top 50-60 to get a max.

I would say more max deals are not worth it half way through. and if it is worth it, you're a superstar.

 

[geno90221]

Wsup with Brandon Ingram?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I'm good bro lol...dont even know yet how they're roster will shape out plus if Sac matches then they wont be as good.

Collins and Capela always hurt, Rondo only in it for the playoffs, etc...too many unknowns to be 100% sure. I'm only guessing at this point lol
