Wagner and Trey Murphy were my favorite players in that draft. Bad year to have a top 3 pick.

Then that’s much better because that’s a big expiring contract next season.

While he’s the best scoring 4th option in the league.
Plug and play TWO WAY player, that can fit on any team.
Top 100 player as per advanced metrics.

I also would say, everyone and their mother accepts Harris is one of the worst contracts in the league, if you need to bring him to argue Simmons's contract is not that bad, you're pretty dumb.

Are you ok?

Spoiler:
Ad Hominen?

Harris is better in every advanced metrics (WAR, RAPTOR &RPM) and raw stats.

Harris is a $39.2M expiring next year.

Ben is a laughingstock and a meme everywhere, averaging 7.5ppg.

A liability on offense all game and is not playable down the stretch.

Ben has 2 years remaining on his contract after this season.

1. i wasn't answering to you, I was answering to the Nets fan trying to defend Ben's honor.

2. the fact Harris's contract is expiring next year doesn't mean he isn't one of the worst contracts in the league, if his contract wasn't that bad he would be tradeable right now and he isn't. Moreover, a bad contract expiring can be good but it depends on the situation your team is, Westbrook contract is still awful because it has handicapped the Lakers's possible moves and he's an expiring

3. Admitting Harris's contract is bad doesn't mean I'm defending Ben or vice versa. Both contracts are awful, there see? easy.

4. Again, trying to use Harris's contract to defend Ben's or vice versa is dumb because both contracts are awful, and this doesn't mean one or both can't be playing good

You can like Tobias and admit his contract is bad too, he's massively overpaid, i don't think is difficult to admit that.

Rudy Gobert has the worst contract in the league and that's set in stone.

I would argue KAT contract is even worse, mainly because it's not even on effect yet :lol: :lol:

Difference between Magic and Raps is the guys Magic has like Wagner, Banchero, Isaac, Bol and etc., are all naturally good offensive player.

While Raps players are mostly long defensive player with role player offensive skills. This is why fit between each other (i.e Siakam and Barnes) is becoming an issue because their LIMITED offensive skills overlaps.

Franz is good, but don't you think he's actually been less well-rounded in the league as he was during his sophomore year at Michigan?

His rebounding has been dogcrap and he has no defensive impact.

His career is tracking like Gordon Hayward and Khris Middleton. A really good third or second banana. But unless Banchero develops into a phenom, not sure if that's good enough for the Magic to become a contender.

And if Franz isn't going to do F things like rebound and defend, why take him over Jalen Green?

Because his efficiency went from 56% to 60% with more volume? That's impressive for a sophomore

His rebounding numbers are also down because he's playing with Banchero and the Magic have ridicule size.

Jalen green is basically the same guy he was as a rookie but on more volume.
