As did David West. Other than GS, Cleveland, SA and now the Rockets, nobody is taking those type of deals. Those are called ring chasing discounts
That is no excuse for that Noah deal and I think you know it
Retrospect is nice to have in your back pocket. The deal was ass due to one bad year, ONE.
That said considering 90% of the cap needs to be used (yes 4yrs was too much) who were we going to pay (center) then, this offseason and the next? Mind you unless you have a room filled with crystal balls no one knew how sevisable Willy was going to be.
Thus far due to his injury and if long term yes it was an ass deal. If Noah goes back 8-10pts and 9-10 boards while having a decent +/- on the defensive end then it's a market deal.
What the hell did I just read?
A. You don't have to spend 90%. If you don't, you split the gap amongst remaining players.
B. I didn't need a crystal ball to know this deal was garbage. All I needed was the basketball reference page to look at games played and his stats.
C. There's a 7-3 guy who can fill in a lot of time at C and would actually be a mismatch in our favor
D. You had KOQ under contract
E. There were so many options for lower guys on shorter deals that we didn't even explore. See signature
