Safe to say, we dont have to worry about the thunder for the next couple of years.

That's Kobe money for Adams.

[Clipper Nation]

That's Kobe money for Adams.
He's worth it more than Kobe ever was.

It's comments like this that make the Reading Room look awfully good.

So *that's* how much a ceiling to your playoff hopes costs.

[Mr. Body]

Both good players.

[DPG21920]

Both good players.

We will see on Dipo. That might be a big regret.

25 million on Adams holy shit

I mean, it's a ridiculous raw number, but you have to normalize it based on what salaries were vs what they are now with ever expanding cap.

However, (not you specifically) people seem to not realize Adams is only 23/24 years old. Just doesn't look like that, but with what he's already shown at that age, seems like a much better investment than Dipo IMO.

Yeah for me it was more like I'm still not used to this increasing cap but honestly, I'm not sold on the guy yet. Admittedly I don't watch him that much.

Players averaging 13/9

I know the sample is very small...but still...

[Mr. Body]

We will see on Dipo. That might be a big regret.

No, he's good.

[Raven]

Both good players.

are they really? good as a ceiling imo..

[Mr. Body]

are they really? good as a ceiling imo..

Oladipo has All-Star potential.

[gambit1990]

i wanted adams.

that is a lot of money though.

[Raven]

Oladipo has All-Star potential.

hm, i don't see it tbh...

[benefactor]

hm, i don't see it tbh...
For once, we agree.

[140]

Oladipo has All-Star potential.
N:lol

[benefactor]

I have about as much chance of making the All-Star team at guard in the West as Oladipo does.

[Mr. Body]

Say what you want, I don't give a shit. But he has the ability to improve into All-Star form.

[ambchang]

Adam is going to waste his time with OKC. He should go to a contender and make a difference instead of wasting that time. He could be a Bogut type of player and help set illegal screens, defend and rebound.

Oladipo is a clear empty stats guy, one of those poor man's Starbury or Jerry Stackhouse types.

But people going crazy over these deals forgot about the early 90s, when Webber signed for $74.4M/15 years as a rookie, or Shawn Bradley had that $44M deal, or how Glenn Robinson tried to hold out for a $100M deal. Sure the dollars are not as great as today's, but the basis is the same, that there is way too much money to be thrown around, and the owners didn't now what to do with them.

The problem back then was that bad teams get top picks, so they give bad deals to unproven players and exasperated the problem. In comes the rookie deal. Now, bad teams get to overpay middling talent in order to stay/be relevant, and this will only make them pander to clueless fans who really think Oladipo and Adams will make them contenders.

[Molotov]

25 million on Adams holy shit


This scrub would be riding pine in the 90's, but in :lol today's NBA he get 25 mil per...:lmao

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

25 million on Adams holy shit

Say what you want, but Adams was the main reason OKC beat the Spurs. Overpriced, yes, but the guy is a great one-one-defender and a very good (not great) rim protector.

[Chinook]

I mean, it's a ridiculous raw number, but you have to normalize it based on what salaries were vs what they are now with ever expanding cap.

I'm not going at you, but people need to stop saying that. They're using that as an excuse for giving guys the 2016 max who wouldn't get the 2015 max last year. Guys like Johnson (whom I like as a player) and Bazemore aren't being paid what they're worth in light of the new cap; they're being paid what they were able to command after a bidding war among teams that too quickly came into too much money.

It's like raising the minimum wage by three bucks and then doubling prices.

[Seventyniner]

Giving guys stupid deals isn't the new normal, it's the old normal.

I agree - but IMO, for Adams, he would be getting paid max (or near max) regardless of the cap.

[Raven]

tbh the early returns of the past offseason is that most GMs look fucking retarded...

[TDMVPDPOY]

the word allstar gets throw around alot, especially to eastern scrubs....

[RsxPiimp]

Oladipo has All-Star potential.

in the east yeah, western conference tho

[HarlemHeat37]

Adams is an above average C, a pretty good starter, but doesn't do anything at a high level, tbh..a good role player living off 1 good playoff run with favorable matchups(last year)..

Oladipo is OK, too early to get a read on him, as he has spent his career not doing anything notable on shitty teams..

[Robz4000]

Oladipo fucking sucks

[Kawhitstorm]

Adams is an above average C, a pretty good starter, but doesn't do anything at a high level, tbh..a good role player living off 1 good playoff run with favorable matchups(last year)..

Adams is the best PnR defender among true centers (Tristan isn't) & I remember him rag dolling Tiago/Tim/Baynes in '14-'15 which was his breakout season:

9qB6SZOrWZg

[benefactor]

Yeah...Adams will earn his check tbh. Oladipo's ceiling is a solid wingman for Russ.

[Thread]

Adams will have to average 25/5/5 and that still won't be enough.

[ambchang]

Adams will have to average 25/5/5 and that still won't be enough.

Or do you mean 25/6/6 you backtracking chickenshit.
