$40 million a year for a guard who has shot 40% from the field over the course of his career is insane. I selfishly hope that VanVleet ends up in Houston because he's going to take shots away from better players and depress their trade value and also because it will be a great test to see just how team-dependent a lot of these defensive metrics are.

apparently the Portland people in my twitter feed are going nuts about this.

When you are concerned about giving up a player like this and think you are one trade away from contention you have reached a new plane of delusion.

I’d be absolutely pissed if the Kings gave up on a 2nd year 22 y/o forward coming off 7.4pts 3.8rebs 2.1asts on 55/39.1/72 shooting splits.

He’s getting paid less than 2mpy for the next 2 years… with a team option.

They might be the worst team in the West next year so 1) I have a hard time putting stock in his numbers and 2) it doesn't change my point that the Blazers fanbase is delusional to worry about losing a Watford while eagerly trying to ship out just about every other young player to give Dame one last shot at glory.

Ohhh.

Zubac owns. Like really really hard. Amazing defender/rim protector, elite rebounder, elite efficiency. His literal only downside is he can't shoot.

That contract fits pretty well into our remaining space too. I would not mind that at all; just absolutely secure the back-up C slot with an amazing player that directly addresses some of our team needs.

Teams are so freaking dumb. LAL dumped him for nothing and now LAC, after him being a super effective role player for 4 years is about to dump him again.
