Why can’t every team just give their players lesser contracts and promise other forms of payments that don’t count towards the salary cap? Are they stupid?

This was quite possibly the weirdest and most misleading “highlights” video I’ve ever seen. It showed more lowlights than highlights, then most of the “highlights” were assists and rebounds.

He scored 20 points and I saw only about 7 of them in the video. I don’t understand why they showed rebounds, assist, airballs, and his shots being blocked over the other 13 points?

We had this same question about someone only making 1 shot at a 100% rate and we said that was even valuable.

Imagine the last couple minutes of every game you have a guaranteed 15 points (assuming he can shoot 3’s). Throw him in in every clutch situation and you practically win every close game.

What the hell is even that?

How do you have 2 Timberwolves in the top 30 with the best player on the team not even on your list.

Your math isn’t mathing

This is the reason the phrase “There’s no such thing as a stupid question” isn’t accurate.

Kk

I mean it depends, does your team already have a solid #2 or superstar of its own, like say Scottie Pippen? If not then no, give me Shaq and Bird.
