DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[ItsGoTime]

Before the injury, I would've done it 10/10 times.

You would have extended Powell a year early 10/10 times? The unnecessary part was WHY? Why did they HAVE to do it? Why is Powell so important that we HAD to make sure we didn’t let him get to FA?


That was the discussion I was more interested in at the time of it happening. Yes, I still think it is an overpay, but that wasn’t the biggest issue with the transaction in my view.

DP was already overpaid before the extension, and the extension of course gave him raises. I think that what he brings to the court is worth about $5 mil a year, perhaps $6 at a reach. Is all of his community/locker room/citizen stuff worth another $5 mil a year? Not to me it isn't.

I think if Kleber is a solid contract, the same contract for Powell would be solid too. So IMO, I think it's a $2M overpay. At the time though, I had NO clue why they gave him an extension. You extend stars, not role players.
