i watch NBA occasionally, considered myself a casual here so forgive me for my opinion....
got so many wasted talent wtv happen to Jahil okafor no. 3 pick and Cauley-stein no. 6 pick. I find they have potential back then just not developed properly at all. Teams like warriors or lakers should invest in them

The picks is according to that point of time their team needs and now the style of play is different from the past

Now is almost positionless basketball a player has to move fast able to defend multiple positions at least or able to shoot 3s space out the court

They just cannot keep up with the style now.no choice go overseas play ba

they never improve their game. of course drafted into a shitty situation doesn’t help matters also

Still remember that Jahlil Okafor and Cauley Stein were both decent players. Perhaps the teams they were on just didn't really gave them the opportunity to play more.

Dame just wants the money. He won't win a ring in his career imo.
later better don't says not enough help need the team to do more in order to stay completely 😂

Look at what harden did to 76ers ..he give discount to them and they able to sign some players back..

Harden caliber he can easily get over 40m and above in next 5 years given how bff he with morely he sure fight for him

76ers now just at least 1 center 1 forward away to be perfect 1 to cover embid the other can cover tucker

Actually some teams did give them chance

Not sure about okafor

But wcs at least he played for warriors for awhile

Then he go mavs (think he got personal issues to settle that's y miss a few games if I remember correctly )

From there his career almost over liao

I guess Lillard already gave up on winning a championship already. Or else he would have demanded a trade long ago and definitely won’t sign this 2 year extension.

I dunno much about him

My understanding of him is he is more traditional centre like Duncan type that's y 76ers get him but over the years as game more evolve he cannot adapt that's y now like that

I see u tube sometimes got say his situation..

My view is if harden hamstring don't give him that much problems

He will be that guy...i mean I see him take less salary to help the team. Atleast shows he wants to win. If he got this mentality we will see a good harden who play D and he still a good player can play with embid.

Let embid Do the damage in the paint area and harden do himself with the pieces they got. Actually not bad if they get atleast 1 center cover embid maybe 1forward as insurance

If I am him after get this salary I will add one more thing

No trade clause to fully secure the deal and more satki :)

Not I see him no up or what

I know he is the face of the team maybe they do their maths give him so much can do competitive in the league and sell tickets

If I not wrong got is 60m???

To me that person atleast is mvp caliber or won rings before the team then pay them so much

Warriors pay curry so much is he literally bring the team from lottery team to a 4 championships 2nd highest value in the league.. Plus warriors "owe him "that's y pay him so much .

Even lillard is good but I feel blazers doesn't lack the next guy to replace them to be their "face "

Last time even got Brandon roy also very good

I feel Simmons got the star quality in him just replace him sua
