The Wiz literally got a handful of magic beans for Beal and KP, and Collins is not all that. In fact, neither is Capella. Okongwu is one year away from requiring a 20mil/contract despite only being potential.
Sorry, my guy, but young and cheap is the new CBA market efficiency. I'm not a big Lively fan but I'll take him on a 4yr/22mil deal any day over Okongwu, a rapidly aging Capella or anything to do with Collins.
You and I clearly have a different valuation on Okongwu.
Beal hasn't played at a star level in years, has a massive contract which includes a player option for 57 mil in his year 33 season, and he had a NTC.
KP is a massive injury risk and needed a fully healthy season just to get his value above water.
Those are both unique cases. Its crazy how the pendulum swings. Gobert goes for 5 picks and we don't have the assets to get anybody. Then its the new CBA and we can get anyone for peanuts.
