re: Possible Upside to Struggles?

People here loved to shite on Evans but he and Galloway were precisely the kind of players we've needed the past two games. Evans' ability to score and facilitate off the drive and Gallo's outside shooting are what this team needs in order to click. Not saying it has to be those two players, but their skillsets are what we need in order to be competitive.

See this is what I mean. After watching Evans and Holiday for the past few years, I've thought that Evans is the superior player and even a better PG than Holiday. Holiday is a better shooter and a better defender. But Evans is a force and has the ability to take over. I know the market for Evans is going to be tiny, since he is so unique, injury prone and has big holes in his game. But Holiday isn't better than him. So if the starting price for Holiday is supposed to be 20M. What would it be for Evans?

Here are the top salaries for this season (LINK ). If they gave Holiday over 20M, that puts him as a top 25 paid player in the league. For a guy that might not even be top 50 and is about to be out of his prime, that's just crazy. Plus I would never give someone more money than the star player (Davis). I really don't see anyone else coming after him, but if they do I'd let him walk. They should have locked down this extension a long time ago anyway, if they really wanted to keep him..

How does this work

Philly throws a stupid max offer or close at Jrue. They bring deal back to Pels. Pels have to pony up the money 76ers were offering.

This is the thing with podcasts. You have to sit down and commit a block of time to listen to them. As it's hard to bounce around without missing information. Whereas doing constant print media like articles on the site lets you cherry pick the information you are going to digest. I don't know what the BSS numbers look like, but I feel like the majority of people still prefer the latter if only because that's what they're used to. I still comb the site for those.

I admittedly havent listened in awhile, but if it's still the bear wrestling intro, y'all need to 86 that man. It's really cheesy and comes off fairly amateur to start the pod with. Just my personal opinion. If y'all could get a player to do an intro for y'all that'd be a much better route to go. Maybe it's not the same intro though idk.

Because they are the only team with possible interest in Holiday that can easily offer a max deal. The other potential teams' cap space is going to be in the low to mid $20s.

So I guess it's just sort of an educated guess. They might not be interested at all.

Thanks for the explanation.

Hopefully all this Lauren stuff and possibilty of 5th year will be some kind of argument for Jrue.

It all depends on 76ers and NYK IMO. NYK if Jrue wants to go to the big market -cause they have those fat Melo and Noah deals (his hometown LAL prefer George and Westbrook. Dont see them going after Jrue).

76 ers is mystery for me.
But probably even for Colangelo 4 year max is little high...

I doubt Dell even lets Jrue test the market. He will have a max contract ready. He will overpay just like Hill and Asik.

I'm fine with Jrue getting paid. I just hope we put another guard who can distribute next to him to hide Jrues weaknesses.

Yep, unique. And we were often over 50. The only article that came close to that was my piece on AD's next contract and a piece Ryan did on all the teams and their best trades for CP3. And that's only because they went on ESPN's main bball page

Those are staggering numbers...wouldn't have guessed. The common observer has very little means to track it other than seeing comments etc on articles.
