Who's the good player? Holiday is avg now. His offence is a negative right now and defense will decline.

Given your description of Holiday (negative on offence and declining on defense), you must think that the addition of Collins and #43 are what is going to make Giannis happy.

Side note: Lillard's contract is worse than Holiday's.

Not at all

Lillard: $120m for a projected 1yr of production. Holliday: $104m for a projected 3yrs of production.

You are technically right, but most franchises don't think like that, especially ones trying to get off of bad money. Paying Dame $37.2M less than Jrue in 2027-28 makes his contract better, if the goal is bad money off the books as soon as possible.

Most franchise don't think about the 3rd year more than the first two years. This is picking the result we want (Dame worth more) and reverse engineering a narrative to support that. That as soon as you read it back to yourself you realize how silly it sounds. Yes in the NBA of the 30 teams there might be one or two who are prepared to tank the tank 2 years and thus would prefer Dame's contract. The other 25 or so would prefer the guy who helps them.
