Steven Adams is a max contract player so uhhh unless you armchair GMs know more than NBA front offices I am pretty sure he is the best big between the two teams
Oladipo is the best guard excluding Harden and Westbrook
If you even say Eric Gordon is better I might laugh you off this forum [Reply]

What Harden did this season is worth an MVP. But what Westbrook has done is one for the record books. The guy lost Durant and brought a roster that would finish last in the NBA without him to the playoffs. He did this by averaging a triple double the entire season. The season he has had is insane. Something even the king LeBron has never done.
If Lebron wanted to average a triple double for a season he could easily. That is not to diminish what Westbrook did though. [Reply]

What is sad is you are continuing to use salary as a barometer for how good players are. [Reply]

It's the same in every sport. Players get contracts based on how good GMs, HCs, scouts "think" they are. That doesn't mean that they are actually that good. These guys aren't Gods they make mistakes all the time.
If these guys had all the answers do you think Sam Bowie gets picked before Michael Jordan? [Reply]

Ask the Magic who pay Jeff Green 15m per year. [Reply]

Please explain to me why Oladipo is so much better than Gordon??? [Reply]
so its Hardens fault his GM gave him Ryan Anderson as his next best player and he won 50 games with it? And because Westbrook has an overpaid bum like Enes Kanter as his next best option that Westbrook is the better player because he couldnt get his scrap lineup to 50 wins but Harden could get the journeymen and injury prone guys he was given to the 3rd seed cause those guys are better?
I actually cant believe this forum shits on Lebron than will say Eric Gordon and Trevor Ariza are the reason Harden looks better than Westbrook [Reply]

No, but we're talking about big contracts. Max deals go to guys who've been in the league. GMs should, at that point, know more about how good of an NBA player a guy is. [Reply]

I hated that deal when it happened, but it may not be a horrible deal. He played the third most minutes for the Bucks in the win the other night and had the third highest +/- on his team in that game as well. I think they gave him the $9 million per for 4 years for that experience/leadership. [Reply]
