Because we were the only team in the league that was going to give him such a big role for an extended period of time and that big of a contract. It's easy to be loyal to that when you know you have no chance of having these opportunities on any other team. Comparing him to our other past stars is laughable. He was merely an average player until Clifford came here and expanded his game.
He would still get payed, regardless of team he went. He decided to stay with Magic, making im only allstar that did stay. He become Allstar BEFORE free agency.
During same free agency, Kemba signed max contract, Tobias Harris signed max contract, Middelton signed max contract, D'angelo Russsell and Horford both got huge contrats. Barnes also got ugly overpayed, Bojan got huge contract, Valenchunas and Rozier both got payed.
It's very easy to compare them, their money, their production and figure Vuc contract was bargin for Orlando.
But most people refuse to argue facts.
If you look at retrospective of 2019 free agency, Vuc was one of bets constructed contracts for value. Easly.
This is nonsense. He isn't a bargain. He is overpaid and overutilized. Even though he worked out his extension before free agency, he knew his market value. It's his agent's job to know it. It was the same situation with Gordon, but that hasn't stopped people from arguing that nobody made him an offer.
He isn't trying to force his way out because he has another contract to worry about and he stands to lose a lot of money if he changes teams or if this team decides to go in another direction.
aah here we go again.
45 th highest payed player in league that has around 400 players and around 120 of them can't even be payed more due rookie scale contracts. It's such an utter bulls*** to even reply to such an biased nonsense.
Overulitized, 25 ppg on 57% TS. On team that didn't have 20 ppg + 55% TS since 2011-12 Dwight, who, btw had worst TS% and average less points. Go figure
So let' me go through your line of thinking. Vuc refuses to be traded ( despite having no no-trade clause or anything like that, and has no control over menagment decisions, witch already busts your whole moronic logic) so he can angle a re-sign that can't happen for next 27 months? Jesus Chris this might be biggest reach to find "logic" in argument i have ever seen.
Why even bring Gordon? We try to trade him for years and only offers we get are -angry chivava Oubre and non-lottery pick from bad draft, lottery protected Blazers pick that won't land anywhere near top 20 and dead body of Ariza .
