The Duncan Robinson recognition is nice, but Derrick Walton?

That list is hilarious in general

I get that Walton does have a great 3pt% at 41.5%, but he’s only attempted 41 3 pointers over 4 years.

I’m guessing that they must have some sort of formula using SportVU numbers to calculate shooting numbers “objectively” based on shot quality/type. Otherwise, idk how Walton could find his way in the top ten like that, ha.
Wow, can’t believe they left the guy I created in My Career off the list. Shame.

Skolnick adds “the Miami Heat’s pursuit.” Still pretty opaque, but I imagine it could mean that Houston wants Duncan in exchange.
Based on the numbers last year, Duncan is one of the most valuable player in the NBA from a win shares/ salary perspective. I get why any team would want him, but it’s so hard to get a guy like that I feel like it isn’t worth it for Miami to give it up
Lol yeah Duncan in no way should be stopping the Heat from trading for Harden

I mean for James Harden you do. From a win shares per dollar of salary perspective I’m sure Duncan is hard to beat, but he’s going to make $16-$18 million in a year, at which point that metric will take a hit.
Most rumors have it as Herro, Robinson, and the two first round picks they’re allowed to trade.
I hear you, but also not sure I see Butler and Harden meshing…
Harden doesn’t seem to fit “Heat culture”

There’s the increase in pay plus the fact a dime is worth more than two nickels if you only have room for two coins.
From what I understand of James Harden, that’s for sure!
It’s not like Jimmy Butler suffers through folks that don’t give it all. We saw that when he was in Minnesota, and I think it’s why he left Philadelphia.

The problem with Harden is not that he doesn’t work hard. It’s whether he has to have the world revolve around him.
