4/42 isn't bad for Burks. It's what Holiday got in his extension and more than DeRozan got in his. Both moves were widely panned, now seen as good contracts. Through year's, he has put up similar, if not better numbers than either guy.

Burks is big, able to get into the paint, and finish at the rim. A lot to like. He continues to improve and he could get a bigger offer than that this summer from teams needing wing help and also flush with cash. Then it's another Hayward situation.

Favors was smart. A young, defensive big at $12M through 2018 is a good bet. I bet they let Kanter walk; he can't play with Favors and they have Gobert to back him up. They will be playoff dark horses next year and maybe better after that. They really need Exum or Burke to emerge as a star.

ETA: Klay at $17.5M makes Burks at $10 look a lot better.

I remember the Derozan contract getting panned. I don't remember much complaining about Holiday's though.

This is what i'm not buying with them. They're doing something similar to what we did, locking up young vets, except they don't have an Anthony Davis on the roster. That's a disaster in waiting. I'm skeptical about Exum
