In reference to the IQ overpaid,
Remember when everyone thought Ujiri overpaid T-Ross with a 3 yr/33M contract for a high-volume athletic 3-point shooter

Ross was one dimensional & nothing like IQ

15% vs 25% of cap for non-reactionary context.

That still was an overpay for the time though, not sure what you're getting at here.

Yeah it was a bad deal in the short term to offset a sort-of bad deal down the road(oh the cap’s rising 25% so pay everyone double smart smart smart!). It was dumb and so is this. Good comp.

Huh, I thought the guy who suggested a separate thread for this topic was only joking.

Anyway, yeah, still an overpay. Dude was being overrated around here for all the wrong reasons. Because those people hated DeRozan.
