People missed the absurd contracts they gave Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins also
Right here.
4/48 for Joe and 5/57 for Wiggins. Both are absolutely putrid. Hamstrung them for next off season. 30 mil per year on 2 guys who should not even be in the rotation
5/47 for Wiggins. Those two were really good for them last season. Played nearly 2700 minutes combined. They'll well and truly be in the rotation. Giddey's gone. Caruso is not a heavy minutes kind of guy.
I'm kinda surprised they got contracts that long, but not surprised at all that they brought them back.
Add Haartenstein 29 mill a year as well. 50 mill on a middling bench at worse is dumb
I think you're missing the point on Hartenstein.
They're paying now, before Holmgren and Jalen Williams get paid in two years time. Now is when they have the money, so they may as well address a weakness. And size and rebounding was their weakness last season. It's an overpay, but they're in a position to do that at the moment. And he's one of the few free agents who really made sense for them.
Maybe they can trade for a Markkanen somewhere down the line. On the other hand they may just back themselves to keep topping up with cheap talent in the draft.
