POD: 2021 Trade Deadline etc.

[raptors]

Nick, Clint, Merv and myself hop on to discuss the trade deadline, the playoffs, the upcoming tournament of champions, and other big baller-adjacent items.

Cojo going for $5Mx3 in FA? Not worth $10M? The guy is a top 5 PG in the league at age 30 with no birds! I would understand it if everyone on this pod secretly wanted to bid on him so they’re tryin to keep his profile low I guess???



If someone gets Cojo on a sub $10M AAV multi year deal they can go ahead and have my vote for Sorcerer GMOTY right now

At least. Think about it this way - at a quick glance among the actual PGs, Kyrie, Harden and Jrue are ahead of him (although he’s a better scorer and rebounder than Jrue). Then you’ve got Steph, Cojo, Fultz, Murray in some order after them (Luka/Lebron kinda their own thing) - you can argue about the order and who you’d rather have, but that’s the group that’s in the conversation. If any of those other big name guys were hitting the FA market at age 29/30 with no birds, they would undoubtedly get multiple vet maxes. Cojo not worth $10M???

[Derek]

yeh I haven't listened to the pod but CoJo is awesome and I knew my coring rights on him would be useless, as even a 1y x 10M would likely steal him. Guy fucks

[heimer]

cojo is getting the galloway contract at minimum!

Im not a basketball guy irl, and as ive learned a bit about good stat lines in sln ive noticed people in this league look at names and irl caliber wayyyy more than actual SLN production, i naturally dont have that bias because i dont know 70% of these guys but it still surprises me when people over or under value players imo because of their name.
