re: To those who think Solo is Grossly Overpaid

a starter on 34-48 team? lol ok dude

Dante cunningham, Norris Cole and alonzo gee were starters 2 seasons ago too? is that how you're going to play this?


we have different definitions of what as starting caliber player is. Hill is backup on 25 teams in the league


it just so happens the 2 seasons he has started as a pro have been his worst of his career

So what you're saying is he's a starting caliber player?

I would think the definition of a starting quality player is someone that would start in one of the league's available starting positions no?

No, he's a guy that can start by default on a few teams because they have no one else.

And $12mil per year, but you're ok with that

You are the only person here that thinks you are booming me right now

Sounds like something someone with no logical response to someone calling them out on a ridiculous claim would say.

I'm surprised you didn't just dig in and keep going. I was fully expecting you to start explaining to me that there is less starting caliber players than starting spots which is intrinsically moronic.

I accept your surrender.

youre saying that every player to start a game are equal & you want a logical response?

Tell me, what are your hopes for our great starting SF this year. Can he eclipse the elusive & paltry 40% mark ? Will he miss more layups?

No, I in no way said this or insinuated this.
You can try to turn your strawman dial down and try again if you'd like. I'll wait. You could also quote where I said anything close to this.

You say he isn't a starting caliber player, I say that's ridiculous, he is certainly and obviously a nba starting quality player. He starts, and he's performs better than 30 other SF's. What parameters could you possibly create where solomon hill isn't a "starting caliber player"

Oh I agree with the consistent mismanagement of the team and poor use of assets in an attempt to build quickly instead of progressing naturally with AD. The utter lack of any development of any players throughout AD's tenure is absurd. You need to develop your own cheap talent and create assets. I have been one of the biggest critics of Dell through the years.

However I think of all the moves Dell has made, overpaying Hill is among the less offensive considering cap space is inherently less valuable here since you have to greatly overpay any real players who would even consider this market. Flexibility is really only meaningful if you can get players to sign or want to take on others people's trash for assets. When Q-Pon passed, we needed a SF. Hill was a good versatile defender with tools to be a good offensive player if he can ever figure it out who was willing to play in New Orleans. It was a worthwhile gamble. Didn't pan out year one in that he was very good on defense, but a non factor on offense. I think he deserves another year in the system to see what he can do with a stable rotation.

You have low standards.

Actually, none at all if that is your criteria

I would think those are the normal standards to being considered a starting caliber player.

There are 30 teams, 30 starters of each position, if you are one of the 30 best players at a certain position, you are a starting caliber player. It's not about "my standards", it's about the understanding of wtf "starting caliber" means.

Apparently you don't understand what the difference is between a player who is starting and a player who is playing 15 minutes a game. fricking dumbass.

Iman Shumpert makes 10 million a year to be a backup. Lin gets 12 million to be a scorer off the bench.

Figure it out morons. NBA players get paid a lot of money back ups included.
