You have to pay a premium to pry players away from good situations

But high expectations come with paying that premium because fans associate big money with scoring. People get frustrated when their teams pay Jason Tatum type money for Harrison Barnes type production.

This is turning out to be an all-time worst take

Hey - don't speak too soon! Warriors could still lose 4 in a row.

Freezing Cold Takes should have a field day with this.

That's still a lot of money

He is overpaid for sure. But he's a good 4th option.

He is turning into an upgraded version of Iguodala

Keep him for $20M...not a chance!

You think someone is going to give him another $30M+ contract again?

I think he's a different player now than he was in Minnesota...

The W's make $9M per home game in the playoffs

Especially since they only had to trade Russell to get him.

They also got a first round pick which turned into Kuminga. Great deal for them.

That's what happens when you trade for buddies to make players happy.

Nick Wright is an idiot, but he wasn’t alone in not liking the Wiggins deal

I think people underrate how difficult it is to get even a good (not great) wing

You’re right.. talent has never been Wiggins problem…

Wait a second...aren't you just making my point here that you were arguing

But nobody ever really thought Russell would amount to anything.

I don’t know I’d say nothing. He was an all-star, he’s no superstar

Why do I have to be good at my job when all these other people can just suck at

His job isn’t to be right, it’s to get engagement on his takes..

Nick Wright has the absolute worst takes. Jokic lives rent free in his head.
