Vote Murray
Nominate Middleton

Yeah I think we might have messed up with Zion.

[meekrab]

Zion csn't be nominated he's not guaranteed even...

His salary is fully guaranteed at the start of each season, and then he can earn partial guarantees for next season during the current one.

If some team wants to take a massive PR hit they could dump a bunch of salary on the Pelicans in the offseason and then release him I guess, but there's no sense in which that looks anything but terrible for the entire league.

[gswhoops]

Same as last time

[tmorgan]

Yep.

Oh, and the first shoe just dropped for Embiid. Done for the year. We placed him correctly.

Incredibly hard at this point as I think a lot of guys would still pull some small value, so it is just making a guess about whether some of them will have negative value further into their deal. RN I think Murray is the right choice until he is playing again, but I could see him ending up as the most valuable of this entire group a season from now.

Murray isn't worse than Poole

Murray isn't worse than Poole

Poole will have one more season after next, so while he is a worse player, I'm not sure his contract is as onerous.

[Homerclease]

Quickley
Dame

[flranger]

V: D Murray
N: Bam - I know he will never make the list, but 60+ mil in 2028-29 for a 6'9" center that can't shoot.....not for me

[luciano-davidwesley]

V: Quickley
N: Jimmy Butler

V: Quickley
N: Jimmy Butler

How is Quickley a worse contract than Murray?

Vote: Dejounte Murray
Nominate: Jaylen Brown

[ReggiesKnicks]

Murray isn't worse than Poole

He has a longer contract and has 0% chance of being positive next year. Poole at least has some chance, albeit small, of being something positive next year.

Poole could be a 20 Million Dollar player next year. Murray is going to be a 0 Dollar player next year.

V: Ingram

N: Quickley

PWill might be the dumbest contract given. He's such a low energy player, exactly the same as he's been for 5 years, and we give him 5 years WITH a players' option
