I gave you context to what might be behind all of it.
Might not be a good value if he breaks down. he has played just 101 games over his two seasons. Got paid 3.5mil over that two year span. Damn near got cut before last season.
Now, I love the guy and on record as as thinking he was a better fit than Deuce.
You like to bring up fair weather fans and look at you doing it after a chip!
Yes, I think he could have been paid more. IM not upset he resigned. But im not naive. The deal looks to be 4 years guaranteed. I don't know if he was offerd that for 4 years elsewhere. Perhaps he was offered more for less years per.

Is it a good contract? We'll see. Hope he stays healthy. Likey a trade asset at some point but that the game and the business. Maybe they move him cross town to brooklyn for a pick when our window is done.

It was freak shoulder injuries. Those can happen to any player in the league. It wasn't like his vagina was hurting.
You need to see if it's a good contract? Well , by that definition there are no good contracts in the league. Because they are all wait and see then... He might be a top 5 contract in the league.

im not the one running around putting words in Shamets mouth. Im just rooted in reality that he barely got on the team last year.
But im a big fan. He filled in the role left by DDV departure and PROVED to be a valuable piece and an great bargain. Im a bit rooted in reality that injuries happen. He fit MIke Browns system fantastic and it all came together great for him and the team.

Yes, all contracts are subject to hindsight but its a good value as PHilC parroted for many reasons including that if he stays healthy its a trade asset when the window starts to close or we have another need, He makes Deuce expendible either by free agency if it comes to that or he is a trade asset for this season. Obviously Mike Brown loves the kid. They were a great fit for each other and chemistry matters!

Thise 101 games were spread even over two seasons. If Deuce is traded for a big its perhaps Kolek or Dadiet are stepping up. one cannot expect any player to exist 82 games besides Mikal.

His last reported Drama was in 21-22 with Dallas. Perhaps the humility of being traded, injured, and ridiculed there taught him the dose of reality.

I can't speak to anything more than what I have read. You seem to have redundant issue with concepts that might have changed over time.

He signed for two years @ 20mil per. 2nd year he has a player option for year two. He has made $236mm thus far in his NBA career.

Here what logic kind of tells us:

1. When he plays, he produces. Fact.
2. When he does not, its due t injury or a condition not fully explained to the public.
3. Teams don't sign lockerroom drama queens or give them player options with out some due dillgence. If he is what you say he'd be on a min type contract and would have to prove himself otherwise.

All we have to judge each other is our posts.
