Well I never said he wouldnt contribute to post-season winning. That's just the only avenue someone would regret signing Giddey. I think he is undoubtedly a very good player. But yes he has some flaws/warts that may prevent him from translating his full game to the post-season, or he might not.
Depends on the price but he really goosed his numbers post AS break and if you are buying based on that... there could be some buyers remorse if he is closer to 12/7/6 than 21/11/9. He has been a post AS break looter. Even at 25M per year I have real reservations.
Definitely goosed them, but I also think he is legitimately good. Had a crazy triple double game vs the Lakers in a win during the late season, so it wasnt all empty calories vs bad /not trying teams.
Yeah I $20M per year like him. I $30M per year kinda hate him. He likely gets closer to that and I could see them regretting that one if it gets there.
Also OKC wanted him out the door. Red flag?
Not really. He didnt make sense on a team that needed shooting and off-ball defense around their star trio of Williams/SGA/Chet.
Walker, no question in my mind. He will always have value, even if he gets a bit overpaid. Teams will still have helio-centric ballhandlers that will need a lob threat, and Walker is one of the best in that regard.
