So you'd pay Hayward 190mil over 80 on Barnes? Hayward doesn't carry a team into the playoffs. 190mil is devastating
It depends on whether or not you like a player or think he is good. If we signed Barnes and he sucked, I don't want to come here in a couple of years when Hayward is balling and see "well, Barnes contract isn't THAT bad when you look at Hayward's".
It's like spending twice as much money on a computer that works very well, over one that gives you problems all the time.
I won't deny that I'm a fan of Hayward game but that much money no.... I feel like memphis made a horrible deal that can't be justified. If another team payed Hayward that it's in the same bout.
Hell of a player yes but someone who is a difference maker no.. And it's beyond a overkill of saying "overpaid" it reached ridicilous status unless he's a bonafied superstar who can take you to finals
Where are you getting $190 and $80 million? Harrison Barnes would get a similar contract to Hassan Whiteside, something like $96 million/4 years if he signs to a new team and $120 million/5 years if he stays in Golden State. If the cap goes up to $108 million next year like it's projected, the biggest contract we can offer Hayward is about $130 million/4 years. Still a lot of money, but he'll almost definitely get it.
