J.E. Skeets

Well, Trey did say he could get Max money.

And he's barely under the max.

This is crazy, though.

This is close.

This is nuts.

This is the max that another team could have come in and offered.

Let's say the Nets, I guess, in theory.

But, yeah.

We're talking 53 a year over four years.

For a guy who's just traded for C.J.

McCollum, a 30-plus-year-old who's never made an All-Star game, plus Corey Kispert, who's on the fringe of rotations in the NBA, to get 50 per year, it's an overpay.

Oh, yeah, this is a big overpay.

This is one of the biggest contracts in the league for, like, at best, a star guard.

Like, the Wizards are hoping he's an all-star guard, and that's one of the worst mistakes I feel like you can make in the second apron era in the NBA is overpaying guys who are not true superstars.

The Wizards might be able to survive this, I'm kind of thinking, just because they don't start getting expensive until 28, 29.

That's when...

Alex Saar and Keyshawn George will be eligible for their first extensions.

I assume those are guys that they're going to want to keep around.

We'll see if they're still interested in Bud Carrington.

At the time, he hasn't really distinguished himself.
