I think it’s totally fair to question all these moves tonight. The dramatic exaggeration on the evaluation, yeah, it’s too much, but I guess we all as fans at some point have fallen pray to the seeming doom of a moment.
In reality, I think the Burks deal is totally fair and earned. Evaluating this as bad is just exaggerating.
The Noel signing is uncomfortable, but arguably earned. He was a bargain last season, which gave a sense of luck in having him. Now he seems overpaid to some, while in general seems to be fairly paid for a market that is paying a lot. He helps and is a super bench player, but does make you wonder what’s the future of Mitch on the team.
Fournier’s deal seems ok, but understandably frustrating when in the end it could be our biggest move. He could be a perfect partner for RJ either at SG or at SF. Brings shooting and hopefully the third strong scoring presence we lacked in the playoffs. Durability is a concern and his impact doesn’t look sexy, but could end up being a huge difference in us actually improving next season.
The Rose signing is very confusing. We kinda hoped and expected to resign him, but at a lower pay as we expected him to be a limited reserve. But his contract is very rich for that spot and the way Thibs relies on him, you can argue if the plan is to start him and balance with the trip of young PGs: IQ, Deuce, Pablo 2.0. If that is the plan, that is a very questionable strategy of Rose remains as limited as he has been in the last seasons.
