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

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..
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.

I compare the two because they play the same position and are in direct competition with one another. I'd rather keep Jones, on the cheaper deal, than extend Murphy to push Jones out of the lineup. IMO, it's one or the other. Neither one is a two guard and both are too light to play the 4. The only way to keep/play them both, is for one to play out of position at SG, plus we then have to trade away both Ingram and McCollum to ensure they both have a spot.
Great players want to start, make big money, put up good numbers and win. All in that order. So who are you benching? Cause they are forcing their way out by mid-season.

Jones took a bad deal. It's true. I'd love to tear it up and give him something more fair. He's a franchise cornerstone.
I don't know where or how you derive the value for Murphy. People are worth what others are willing to pay them. I'm sure he could get the 25M/year. I wouldn't give it to him. He's not proved it yet and he's not a starter for this team.
