I´m also fascinated by the perception of Markkanen´s value. Is this a Euro thing?
23 year olds averaging 18/7 shooting nearly 50/40/90 will get paid for their potential alone. We gave Barnes 24 per year, averaging 11/5. Considering that we expect a post-COVID cap spike, I think that´s a fair deal.
Anything wrong with paying your 6th man, who is key to keeping the team productive and backs up your supernova star player, like a starter?
