The only players worth a supermax are in those in that Curry, Lebron, Giannis, etc tier. Future all time greats, basically. Towns isn't one of them. I know he's eligible but being eligible doesn't mean he's worth that kind of money. Or does anyone want to argue DLo is worth a max because he can technically sign one?
Your arguments have nothing to do with each other. You also don’t understand economics.
Yeah, I'm done with this.
Hey, little late to the party....but Shangrila, I believe I get your argument as that's best practice on only giving that tier the super-max....which sure from a theory standpoint makes a ton of sense. But that's not current marketplace right & if I'm going to have a championship caliber roster....don't I have to play ball? In the fast food industry, difficult to make a profit paying employees $20/hr right now, but if I don't the alternative is joint is open less making less revenue because I lack staff to run it? Now, KAT still needs to still be in next tier to be worth the overpay, whereas one could argue DLo is too many tiers (not sure if that's exactly the right way to explain it?)...but that would be the counter right on why yes for KAT & no for DLo...no?
I mean, I get getting squishy on the end of the KAT deal, but we can move him if needed after that fact? If you want to deal him now...then for who do you have in mind?
Or if you low ball him....aren't you going against everything Arod & Lore are trying to say is different now with the organization...that we're 1st class & no longer cheap? Even if your trying to do it for basketball reasons...that's how it will be perceived? Or maybe you can thread some crazy line...where you extend KAT for less than supermax...in exchange to keep DLo & extend him at some absurd #? Which okay...you may be closer on KAT, but now stuck on a overpay on DLo?
I think I understand the principle your trying to stand on, just don't think because of us being a smaller market that also lacks a fair amount of credibility...it just isn't a reality at this time.
