Seth Curry and Dwight Powell are bad contracts?

Again you have a rebuilding team getting older, taking on salary and losing a draft pick for a player that doesn't do much for them.

Again, READ BETTER. I said DWIGHT POWELLS bad contract. He makes 10 million a year and averages 6ppg.

Did I miss the memo on Jonas Valencunas not being a premier center anymore? . this draft kinda sucks after the top 3.considering the deal that OKC got for Serge Ibaka last year I think you "EXPERTS" are wrong about it not being believable.

Premier Center? Cousins, Jordan, Drummond, Townes, Lopez, Embiid, Gasol, Vucivic, Whiteside, Turner, Howard, and Gobert are all hands down better than Jonas. He's a starting center, bur no where near an allstar.

Although #9 is a little rich for my taste what makes the trade worse is that Mavs just got Noel. After the situation he left getting another center that would potentially start over him would just be cruel. Mavs will likely have their eyes on Markkanen as Dirks replacement if he is still available at #9 or go point guard.

This draft is believed to be very deep (12-15 or so) . The top 3-5 are certainly above the rest, but I think the next 8-10 picks are going to be high value guys, guys that would normally go 3-5 in past drafts.

Jonas is an average starting center. He's a top 20 center, but probably not top 10. He's paid an average amount, not overpaid at all.

Your comparison to Ibaka is very similar. And look at how HORRIBLE that trade was for Orlando. It's a cautionary tale for this trade.

4 people disagreed to a comment of Dwight Powell averaging 6ppg and making 10million a year. it's a FACT and not something that you can disagree with.

He makes 8.3 million this year, which isn't terrible for a backup center.

If Drummond is on the list JV is on the list both different players and Jv can be really good if coach would utilize his skills. Big guy down low with smooth touch and cam step out and hit the 15 footer.? Reminds me of a young bosh but much bigger. JV can learn to play better defence but he fades in games because he dosent get the ball? Defensive center don't fade because they there for defence but the offence sucks and guys like Drummond don't get touch. So if raptors were to trade JV for Drummond it would work out but do t tell me JV isn't as good as the other center.
