So next year, Scotty Barnes, 38.6 million, RJ Barrett, 28 million, quickly 32 and a half million. And they just signed Brandon Ingram to three years and 120 million fully guaranteed for whatever fucking reason. I have no idea. I don't know who you're competing against. He doesn't play enough. And I think he's a good regular season score.
I think when things get a little tighter, as we saw Oklahoma city, just horrifying last year, I think that's, that's kind of real. So Those four players are going to be making $137 million next year combined. For what? This is a list of guys, and I'm not including Scotty Barnes in this. I like RJ Barrett a little bit until I have to pay him. I understand quickly until I have to pay him.

Brandon Ingram, yeah, he gets you some nice buckets. Even maybe a little side of passing.

At their core, they have guys that even if you kind of like, you don't want to pay. The Scottie Barnes stuff is not great. Three-point percentage are just kind of disastrous. The advanced numbers have dipped a bit here, but I like him too much, and he's too young, and the good stuff was too good for me to just kind of collectively turn the page on this guy.

I don't know that he'd ever be the number one option. And again, the number one option on a really good basketball team, I don't think that list is more than five or seven guys anyway. So to ask that of him is too much of an ask. And he's such a great in-between player and complimentary in the things that he can do. I still hold out a lot of hope for him, but like...

Yeah, I look at Palo potentially being the face of a franchise of a good team. I don't see that for Scottie necessarily, but I think the Scottie stuff's going to be a little too negative because of the dip in some of this stuff. I just don't understand the point of this team. Speaking of, let's talk Charlotte Hornets. 29th on offense, 16th on defense. Hey, look at those guys.

Their offense, 28th last year. Defense was terrible last year. If I bring it up here again, they were 29. So, yeah. I mean, that Charlotte defensive number is so surprising. I'm checking it again here. They were 6-9 at one point. Then they went 8-37. They're the worst shooting team in the NBA. I like some of the pieces, sort of. Miller's going to be a player.

Mark Williams part two has been really good. Salon in. I don't know what it is. That might be scary, but I'm in. Only three players have played 50 games for him this year. Josh Green, Seth Curry, and Diabate. Lamello, three-point decline, four straight seasons. Lamello, 21.9 field goal attempts per game, the most in the NBA. 41% overall from the floor. Those two numbers can't happen.
