re: To those who think Solo is Grossly Overpaid

Allen crabbe is pretty good. But he plays about 20 something minutes a game and scores 10 pts a game. 18 million a year.

I'm really just tired of people coming in here and saying he's overpaid because "he's solomon fricking hill" I have yet to see one solid argument, and now fricking lester has us in here discussing whether Austin Rivers is good or not.

Can play this game all day

PER

Hill 8.0

Rivers 11.4

Rivers is an example of why Hill isnt overpaid as bad arse has been exaggerated on this board. Asik doesnt even play. His contract is horrible. Rivers is on par with Hill. A serviceable player on offense. So he gets 12 million a year. Hill is a serviceable player on defense (like shumpert etc).

How hard is this to understand? Average players get paid 10-15 million in the nba. fricking figure it out.

Yea P bean. It's the internet age, you're the only one that can google salaries & has access to NBA games. You are just a fountain of knowledge

It's only year 1 into his contract, so you can't close the book on him. Year 1 it's a bad contract. $12m per for "3 & D".. you may get the D but you're not getting the 3

These numbers were through 3/8/17 through 65 games, per Ginsberg

He shot 34% on corner 3s when league avg is 39% from the corner (76 attempts). Career 36% from there in 187 attempts to that point

93% of his 3PA were classified as open or wide open, he his 33% of those shots

Hill took 61 three pointers with at least 15 seconds left on the shot clock, making 20 of them (32.8%)


You can find the threads, i was all over the Hill signing; thought it was great. I love what he adds to the culture of the team and his relentless hustle, but if I have to sit through 41 games at the blender and watch him clank wide open 3s. He's overpaid and has to be better, I'm sure he would agree with that

Your post is way too rational. I will say if he's overpaid, it's not "grossly". I looked up and down the SF salaries, there isn't a bunch of guys making less than solomon that I'd rather that aren't in their rookie contract, taking a discounted rate (like rudy gay for ex), or in the 3rd or 4th year of an older contract. There is also no fkn way that Rivers at 12m is incomparably better than "Solomon fricking Hill".

I also got chuckles out of imagining the grin on lester's face everytime Bean posted something else.

Look I'm not arguing that he's great or that he doesn't need to improve offensively. I'm arguing that he's probably an 8-10 million dollar player who's making 12, and I think we should stop crucifying Dell over this one.

I'm glad you've finally brought some semblance of logic into this thread. My angle from the start was that wing defenders get paid, whether they can shoot or not - Roberson ($10M), Shumpert ($10M), Bazemore ($16M)...

Thats the point Im trying to make too NotCooper. Agreed.

Dude we have these same conversations about E'Twaun Moore who's a better shooter and gets $8 mil. People here literally think neither one should be paid a dime over the minimum. A lot of this board is crazy lol.
