Speaking of value, I just saw a few hours ago that Cam Thomas, a player who's averaging 24 PPG in Brooklyn signed a 1-year deal worth $6M to stay. I mean a player that offensive only got that amount. I wonder why though. Huh

Yeah, for real, that’s way too low for a player averaging 24 PPG. Meanwhile, Pat Connaughton is making $9.4M while only averaging 5.3 PPG. Lol. Even if people say he’s putting up numbers because of the team he’s on and wouldn’t score like that on a top team, it’s still too low, and he’s still young, just 23. Other players with lower averages are getting paid more. Honestly, that feels unfair. His agent doesn’t seem great at negotiations. Cooper Flagg is even making more in his first season.

I'm not sure, but yes, when I say him played for the first time, I say that definitely he has the talent. But it could be just bad marketing on his part. Sometimes you really have to be just good guy role or you have that personality. Maybe that's what lacking in him, he is very a quite person, maybe he really needs to be that trash talking just saying, so that he will get all the attention.

But he is still very young, maybe after a good year, he could get he really deserves to be paid. Just work very hard, show us that bad side and maybe, just maybe teams are going to recognized this kid.

If it happens that he play long games last season maybe he will get more bigger or what he wants. But since he only play if I'm not wrong 25 games due to hamstring injury maybe he decide what's best for his career.

Since by accepting that $6m he have full control of his career next year. What he need is to show consistency or efficiency since there's good chance that he could able to get more big contract on next year.

What he do is huge gamble in his career so let see if he can able to make a good run this season since if it happens he's performance decline he might struggle to get those contract he target to get.
