[baseline bum]

Are you fucking kidding me? 4 points and 3 rebounds a game gets you $13 million a year?

Draymond Green's head would explode if Barnes got a max after he left money on the table last summer.:lol

[baseline bum]

Could you imagine if the NBA still had 7 year deals? :lol

[baseline bum]

Draymond Green's head would explode if Barnes got a max after he left money on the table last summer.:lol

There is no way Barnes is getting a penny less than max. :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

I'm talking about the Duds re-signing him for the 5yr max instead of renting someone like Deng.

Fuck, is Deng gonna get a max offer too? :lmao

[baseline bum]

So Bazemore is now a $20 million a year player in this market, right?

[Poolboy5623]

Average? Solomon Hill fucking sucks. He's like Kyle Anderson statistically.

Today's NBA :rollin

[InRareForm]

But.. But.. The upside

[Darth_Pelican]

:lol black GMs

[JMarkJohns]

But.. But.. The upside

The numbers are excessive. Most expected 8-10 per.

But very few players maybe hold the likely statistical increases that Hill holds.

As a second year player forced to start for injured Paul George, Hill played out of position for 30 MPG and averaged 9 PPG, 4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1 steal.

He shot poorly, however.

So his option was declined for next season.

But Hill, despite lesser role, improved his shooting, and when played for 25+ MPg, averaged closer to 10-7-2 as a comboforward.

Gentry wants to push tempo. He likes versatile combo forwards.

Per-100 possessions, Hill averaged 15 PPG, 7 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1 APG in his last two seasons. And his FG% increased by 5%, his 2FG by 8% and he was a monster from three in the playoffs.

I get the WTFs.

But Gentry maxed out Dudley in a similar fashion in Phoenix.

Dudley and Hill are very similar players. 2-4 versatility, solid rebounders, defenders, and both improved as outside shooters.

It looks bad. But it makes enough sense if you look at more than last year's per-game numbers. It's an odd situation to just analyze it straight-forward.

[Pelicans78]

I'm assuming he's expected to start at SF since the Pels have no one else.

[JMarkJohns]

I'm assuming he's expected to start at SF since the Pels have no one else.

He'll start at SF which is his ideal position, but will be a PF for smaller lineups, and can be a SG for bigger lineups.

I absolutely see Dudley-Esque statistics and efficiency within two years.

Dudley with Charlotte prior to Gentry and Phoenix was almost a perfect mirror of Hill...

Per-100: 14 PPG, 8 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1+ APG on 46% FG and iffy 3 FG.

Then with Phoenix:

Per-100: 19 PPG, 10 RPG, 3.5 APG, 2 APG on 48 FG, and significantly improved 3 (20% to 41%).

Same type of games, athleticism, instincts, versatility.

And Hill is only like 25.

[Kawhitstorm]

Average? Solomon Hill fucking sucks. He's like Kyle Anderson statistically.

If Kyle was an average athlete he would be getting the max.:lol

[baseline bum]

If Kyle was an average athlete he would be getting the max.:lol

He'll probably get it anyways :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

I'm assuming he's expected to start at SF since the Pels have no one else.

Wasn't Tyreke signed to play SF?:lol

[Pelicans78]

Wasn't Tyreke signed to play SF?:lol

He was really signed to be a 6th man combo guard/wing type, but the lack of depth at SF did force him to play there as well.

[Kawhitstorm]

He'll probably get it anyways :lol

Matt Barnes could fetch a 1 yr 20 mill contract for a team trying to preserve their cap space for next summer.:lol

Lance Stephenson is going to be extra motivated trying to recoup the money he last the past 2 seasons.:lol
