What if the team simply decide to trade them? That wouldn't be fair.
Bensational wrote:The problem with supermax salaries is how much they kill the team's ability to add other talent. They need to limit how much is actually applied to the cap, say the max amount of $35M or whatever, and everything above that doesn't count against the cap. But teams should be limited to just one of those salaries, so you can't have Curry and Durant, for example, getting paid $50M each, but only counting for $70M total on the books. And if that player gets traded, they should lose that extra 'off the books' amount. That way, if a Jimmy Butler or Davis forces their way out, they're costing themselves money.
Pick your franchise player, and pick them well. And players, pick your team, and pick it well.

"I was more or less sold for an undisclosed amount of money. I later found out (the Nets) used that money to pay for the entry fee for their summer league team, and with the leftover money, they bought a copy machine."
No, Korver wasn't joking.
"But it's OK," he continued. "Because a couple of years ago, that copy machine broke. And I'm still playing."

Because blocks aren't truly indicator of a good defense?

Its true, blocks aren't an indicator of good defense. You do have to look at them within the team context...similar to PPG on bad team and/or unit playing at a high pace.
But since Indiana had the #3 best defense in the NBA and he played in all three of their most used and best lineups, its fairly safe to say he likely wasn't undisciplined / breaking the defense chasing highlight blocks...and instead more likely his blocks/rim protection was key part of its success.

Could be, I don't really watch Pacers. Just saying that blocks aren't necessarily good defense, and perhaps, that Turner isn't someone that crosses my mind as elite defender.

Ah yes the Bledsoe debate days
He had a really good season but a lot of that was because of Giannis and company.
