No, I don't need to name one just like I don't need to name every species of ant to know that ants exist, because the question is a stupid one that proves nothing whether I did or didn't.

This is your entire posting logic in a nutshell.

Just shows that the young PFs are not ready, market had nothing here but marvin. He was a mid level type of value in my book, but what's 1.xx more when the young players are not ready? Putting zeller or noah out there could ruin either. He fills a need and once his contract is done either zeller/noah should be ready

Hahaha....now I've heard it all. So you just keep referring to past performance to fug with me, not because you mean it? Hahahaha

Do you get that teams will pay a little more to get a player on a shorter contract? In your Lance mancrush have you not seen Dallas may pay more to get him for two years?

You've got a long way to go in your armchair GM major, obviously.

And have you not seen that teams pay players that they want on their teams whatever it takes to get those players on their teams?

 

So, like I said, if Williams required $7M a year then he was not worth having on the team. 

 

The mechanics of contracting is ancillary to the point I'm making. 

 

They signed Marvin Williams because they wanted him, and they overpaid him because of it, which makes wanting him stupid.

Maybe he'll have a "breakout year" if he's not the 4th option behind Paul George, David West and Roy Hibbert.

 

His 54% from 2pts and 36% from 3pts are much more important than his "PPG." Guys with much higher PPG shoot much worse percentages than Stephenson does, proving that opportunities (field goal attempts per game) matter just as much. He'd get many more of those in Charlotte, so his PPG should increase.

 

Hayward averaged 3PPG more than Stephenson while shooting 29% from 3pts and 45% from 2pts, obviously because he got a lot more attempts per game, and people here thought he was worth almost $16M a year? Some of you people are a joke. 

 

shooting %'s are not the end all be all. i could find complete one dimensional role players who have good shooting %'s. 

 

heyward was / is worth more money because he is simply more skilled and a better basketball player than lance regardless of any stats.

Yep...seems pretty obvious to me too.

I never said they were the "end all be all," I said they also matter. 

 

Whether Hayward is a "more skilled and better basketball player" is debatable. Hayward struggled last season as the #1 option on Utah even though he averaged more points. Lance didn't struggle as the #4 option on Indiana, but he didn't have as much responsibility either.

 

We don't know what Stephenson would do as a #1 option, and he got way less opportunities than Hayward did, so it's premature to suggest that Hayward is the better of the two. 

 

He got offered more money because his PPG was higher...and other reasons.

And he could've filled that same "need" for less than $7M, or they could've found another PF who would fill that same short-term role for less than $7M, so again, why did they have to overpay this guy?

If you are buying something, if the salesman tells you can pay 14 million in two years, or 15 million in three years, do you really think you are getting something less expensive because it only costs 5 million per year?

 

We saved a couple million on this deal

Clifford said at the summer league game today it isn't a done deal with Marvin Williams

It's a done deal. Stop spewing false information. He just can't comment on him until the NBA league office "officially" approves it.

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
