I agree with what you are saying. Archived Message Posted by Mrap24 on April 26, 2022, 13:12:53, in reply to "The key to winning in the NBA is to have max guys who surpass their value" And the way this year played out makes it interesting. I think you have to trade Vuc. Can you trade them to LA for AD? I don’t know. I’m just not sure trying to build around Zach at 40mil per is a sound strategy, thankfully I’m not making that decisions. Previous Message That's probably less than 15 players because Zach will roughly make the same as Durant, Steph and Giannis. That said, I thought Zach was awesome before he got banged up. He never bitched about deferring to Demar and his defense has gotten so much better.
