    I’m not cherry picking anything, that was his performance last season, in his 3rd year. He would have to improve a ridiculous amount to be worth anywhere near 18-20 million. Is it possible? Sure, is it at all likely? No. Do i hope i’m wrong and he blows up? Of course. He will also be an RFA so there’s 0 risk in losing him

    LOL, kid why are you so obsessed with me? Look, I'm flattered, but you really should talk to your therapist about this. It's really pathetic and it can't be healthy. Maybe go touch some grass for a bit, whatever it takes.

    I know you're a loser just like most here do. Sorry you can't handle it. You can't hurt my feelings fat boy but apparently I can hurt yours

    When I say that you are cherry picking, I'm saying that you are using random stats that don't give a proper image of the quality of player you are talking about.

    To use what you picked KPJ having a 13.5 per, 53% TS, and less then 1 win share being "terrible", what would you then say about a player with a 12.5 PER (LOL at PER being legitimately cited BTW), 54% TS, and even fewer win shares than KPJ? Probably just time to give up on them completely right? Yeah, that's Jalen Green.

    Those random stats don't show Jalen Green's talent level or potential any more than they show KPJ's.

    Now as to the risk you run by not signing KPJ now and waiting till next year, you are now looking at having to pay him a LOT more to keep him. Basically you sign him now at a discount rate of 15-18 mil a year or you are forced to pay a lot more next offseason.

    Why not save the team a bit of money going forward and lock in the most vital part of the young core now?

    You have to know that you are nothing but a pathetic obsessed fan. I don't ever think about losers like you, but for some reason you can't stop thinking about me. That's why I suggest you seek some professional help. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, and you are delusional if you think a lolcow like yourself would be taken seriously enough to hurt ANYONE'S feelings. I'm legitimately concerned for your fragile mental state.

    Jalen was a rookie, if those are his stats TWO years from now, then ya i would not be willing to give him a big contract. You seem to ignore the fact that he will be an RFA, and outside of the top end guys they their markets are typically pretty weak. The other issue with extending him now for way over market value is what if we get to draft scoot? Or some other PG in the top 3-4 picks, now you basically have dead salary with kpj

    I didn't know you owned the site. I don't ignore people on the internet. Sorry, I'm an adult.

    Do everyone here a favor and lose weight.
    Look at his other account. Just sad

    They all have each other's social media and think we're too stupid to realize it. Took me like 5 minutes to figure out

    You removed his catch and shoot percentage and then you did it again in this very post, now you are trying to create rules to fit your argument.

    Being able to catch and shoot at a high level does not matter what position you play, you are trying to argue that the lead guard should not be a catch and shoot guy?

    So do you discount that Curry is a great catch-and-shoot guy since he is a lead guard?

    Either you have no clue on how NBA offenses operate or you are really reaching to find something negative on KPJ.

    I mean, why would you draft Henderson when you already have a better "Scoot"? Was it Henderson's 17% 3 point shooting in the G league that impressed you? Go ahead and make excuses for it.....but we're back to you making excuses for players who are not on KPJ's level while trying to run down his level of play at the same time. It's absurd.

    Why kick the rebuild back 4 or 5 years waiting on him to grow up hoping that he can one day replicate what you already have?

    When it comes to RFA, KPJ would be a "top end guy", it's not often that teams are stupid enough to let guys that talented hit RFA.

    SMH, you have to base your insults in reality for them to have ANY impact whatsoever. Clearly you need a role model.
