    Can't put Wall below Simmons. Wall actually wanted to play and was apparently a great teammate even when he was sitting out in Houston; Simmons doesn't even bother to try to play at an NBA level. That's gonna add toxicity to the lockeroom, especially after all the Nets came out and said they believed in Ben's commitment.

    Kind of a dumb take on Luka.
    They were in 4th place when they traded for Kyrie.
    Cuban got fined for tanking to keep their Draft pick that was Top 10 protected.
    Missing the Playoffs had NOTHING to do with Luka.
    Before the tank started, Luka was the leading scorer in the NBA & almost single handedly had the Mavs in Playoff position, as he has done every single year a part from his Rookie year.

    coming from a wizards fan…. that wall contract was a necessary evil at the time, it was just SEVERELY bad luck that he got hurt basically while putting pen to paper & then immediately after sustaining a freak achilles tear while walkin round his house, two back to back career altering injuries. wall’s contract was the biggest in the league for a reason, he above all is the reason the wizards almost made their first conference finals since the 70s; russ won mvp that year but you could make a big argument that wall was anywhere from #2-4 point guard in the league behind steph that season. now the beal contract…. THAT’S a different story

  • @Zenlollipop
    @Zenlollipop 6 месяцев назад +1

    Your breakdown of Klay's contract is not wrong, but it's also not something that the Warriors organization is particularly regretting. They knew full well he probably wouldn't be back to producing at the level his contract implied, but it was a contract offered by a friendly GM to a team legend. It was definitely a check cut for services rendered and not for future expectations. They might even have started dreaming of the two timelines plan then, thinking that even if Klay fell off as hard as D Rose, that huge contract would handicap the roster to help them tank and build depth through the draft, probably in the 10th-22nd pick range.
    Whether you love or hate the franchise, I really liked that they showed respect to a guy who had already helped them win 3 championships, instead of being opportunistic and signing him to a cheaper deal when his stock had hit rock bottom. It's part of why the 2022 team was so easy to root for. That's the kind of employer we all want to have.

    • @cahillscourt
      @cahillscourt  6 месяцев назад +2

      Agreed. It was definitely a legacy-rewarded contract that they knew they were overpaying for after he tore his acl.
      However, I don’t think GSW anticipated him to fall off as drastically as he has. I think that is attributed more to the Achilles injury he suffered after he signed the deal, which is just horrible luck

    • @ycshittu5412
      @ycshittu5412 6 месяцев назад +1

      ​@cahillscourt what actually caused the Achilles injury was preventable. Klay didn't rehab properly for his ACL injury. He didn't listen to the medical and physical therapy instructions. The other leg got weak and that's why he tore his Achilles. And his greedy daddy wants another big contract
