Washed Players... It’s Time To Buy Low and Pray

Devonte is a good player... I do think the hot shooting run he was on a year or so ago has him a little over-rated. Will be curious to see what kinda contract he gets.

Overrated? They moved him to the bench because of Ball. I’m not saying he’s wildly underrated but it’s under. Big markets aren’t wildly creative. They go for the big names. Like Kemba. He won’t be at the top of the list for Dallas or LA and if we’re talking Mike contingencies, he should be on our short list imo.

But I’ve made up my mind. The first two moves I’m trying to pull are Favors for a bag of chips and Nance for Bogey. These would save us ~17M next year, get us a lot younger, longer, versatile and more athletic, and allow us more options to make further moves. And oh yeah, it gives us a player who I think can quickly evolve into a very legit two way stretch 4.

Yeah I think some fans over-rate him based on his hot shooting to start the year two years ago. He was putting up bonkers numbers. He’s still a very good player but then you look at his shooting percentages and they don’t jive with what you’d think they should be. I think he’s an MLE type guy and I think most would put the consensus higher than that. I like him... just think he is the player his percentages say he is and not the player that couldn’t miss for a couple months.

That’s fair. I’m guessing he gets 3/33.

Aminu may be completely washed and that's everyone's concern... which means he could be very low cost and potentially very high reward. If he returned to any form he could be your small ball 5.

Outside of Favs I don't see great contract matching possibilities. I think he's a buyout guy potentially.
 
Prince is a total Jazz move and Is be 100% fine with that. Think there’s a lot of upside there.
 
In this whole discussion, remember that we've just dropped our director of pro personnel (probably the guy in charge of scouting these sorts of players). Nobody's heard of a replacement yet, have they?
 
Add Darius Miller to the washed FA list. He looked great after coming back from his injury the year before. Great shooter... good wing size... averagish defense.
