re: Trey: At the end of the day it’s not about money

This is like wondering why Ant Edwards makes less than Bradley Beal…they aren’t in the same contract situation.
Jones and Murphy came from the same draft class. Jones has massively outperformed him (Jones is a finalist for DPOY). They play the same position and role. Murphy is more than likely going to be his back up. But you want to pay Murphy more than double on the hope that he becomes a 20+ppg bench player as the 4th or 5th option?
Just because he can be paid that much doesn't mean we have to be the ones to give it to him. He's a good player, possibly a solid starter as a specialist. I just wouldn't give him a big deal and make him a top 3 guy on my squad. Guys like him are valuable, on rookie deals. Not so great when they cash in..

Lets make a deal, if Trey signs a contract valued less than Herb, I wont post here until September (and I love my damn Summer League Threads). However, if he DOES sign a contract valued more than Herbs, you dont post here until October.

Herb's salary will always be depressed due to the CBA and being a 2nd rounder who re-signed with his original team.
We are lucky to have a below market deal for Herb. You can't use that as a baseline to compare to anyone else.

Sometimes I can’t tell if you’re intentionally obtuse about this shite or you just don’t watch/follow other NBA teams and understand the league as a whole.
Multiple people ITT have told you that Herb is not a good salary comparable because his specific contract situation within the CBA fricked him on this contact, yet you keep comparing the two players.
Herb, like Trey, is a 25 million dollar (and more) NBA player in today’s NBA. He is not capped by the CBA in the same way Herb was, so Trey will make an appropriate amount.
