thats way more than 8 per year.

It’s % significantly more but it’s not toxic or near it at that price.

It is if you're trying to sign another good rotation player this year.

We need impact players more than rotation players. You often have to overpay for them.

So Niko signed fr 6 and 80M in Europe. So all those that thought he left cause he’s a ***** were wrong... he got all teh monies and gets to play a lot less games.

I very seriously doubt that report. It doesn't make much sense. Euro teams don't have that type of money to spend on players. Barcelona had 37M budget last year. And this includes like... everything - player salaries, coaches, operation costs, administration costs, etc. The highest paid player in Europe last year was 4-5m last season. There is no way in hell they just payed 3 times that for a single player.

Portis at anything $12 or less would be an amazing deal. I like Bojan more, but Portis rebounds better and can help at C if Gobert gets hurt.

Then why are we overpaying for a low level rotation player in Portis?

11M for a fringe starter isn’t overpaying.

Bobby Portis had a box plus minus of negative 2.9.

He's a fringe rotation player. You're out of your god damn mind. The only reason I'd give him 8 million is he specializes in a couple of skills that are useful in low minutes volume.

DL said a while ago Jazz would not overpay for any player
Don't know what that means though

Dude. You're trolling. Again.

Portis played really well for two terrible teams as the 2nd, 3rd or 4th option. As our 5th option as a PF, he can shine with little pressure.

He might be a low level starter, but he isn't a low level rotation guy.
