I'm confused by your last list.
You seem to have skipped a bunch of guys who are worse than Wemby by your link...
Durant, Paolo, Wiggins, Luka, Grant, Sabonis, Ingram, Murray, Kawhi, AG, Scottie Barnes...

LOL, OP thinks these two walking DNPs are gonna stay healthy all year!
Remember when everybody was clowning the Gobert trade based on results despite the fact that you still had a winning record with Towns missing 53 games? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Me: Not 39.
Also me: Would tear at least 3 or 4 knee ligaments attempting this, and wind up with a concussion.
Quin clearly does not like him.
We'll take him off their hands.
The funny part here is that it was still the complete wrong read from Giddey there.
I wanted to tank for him two seasons ago, but no...we had to fake-try to compete and wind up with Jeremy Sochan.
Pau averaged 3.2 APG for his career, with a high of 4.6. That's about on par with Karl Towns.
Tim Duncan averaged 3.0 with a high of 3.9. Timmy was not a great passer.
Kevin Garnett averaged 3.7 with a high of 6.0. Nobody talks about KG as a passer anymore.
Joakim Noah averaged 2.8 with a high of 5.6. People don't think about his passing chops.
Karl Malone averaged 3.6 with a high of 4.7. Anybody ever remember "Malone to Stockton?"
99.9% of rookies ARE terrible
They could have paid him more a couple summers ago.
Supposedly, he took a paycut with a wink-wink (read: illegal) agreement that he'd get it back on the back end.
Why do that? Two reasons:
-
Luxury tax limitation. If you're in a very high tax bracket, pushing a dollar today into tomorrow can have more than a dollar's worth of impact on your expenses.
-
Roster-building asset maximization. In this case, by taking a certain amount, they could use the non-taxpayer Mid Level Exception to sign a better player than they could sign with the Taxpayer MLE. Once you sign someone to the Nontax MLE, you are hard-capped for that league year. But the next year, you can blow right past that number while still retaining the guy you signed on the MLE the year before.

On the one hand, he's given us a couple of 1st round picks for guys who aren't real difference makers.
On the other hand, the one of those that has conveyed so far became Malaki Branham.
