If we were paying Harris $180M for the next five years, I'd be mad as hell. A trade was the only way we'd get value before he was gone.

Thats the reason i am happy we traded him otherwise we would have lost him for nothing.

He's insanely overpaid, ideally he's a 6th man on a contending team with his construction cone defense.

I don’t think trading Tobias Harris was a joke, trading our 1st round pick that became SGA certainly is though and I would much rather have kept our flexibility and him on our roster than getting Griffin.

I will say that my mind was absolutely blown by the contract Tobias got.
SVG would have given him that contract. I'm not sure Ed would though.

John Wall's contract is insane. Grundfeld must've had some good whiskey before he came up with that number.
But Westbrook's contract really has to be the 2nd worst on that list in relative value proposition.
