Well first, someone is going to have to watch @NBASupes 24x7 and take his shoelaces. Next, I'm going to have take a break to make 2 bags of microwave popcorn, melt some butter and cheese to pour over it and pour a tall cold beverage. Last, I'll have one of the lawyers on the site sue the Spurs organization for all the wasted bandwidth and the ensuing fires to the server room You're welcome! 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Market is what teams will pay. I can tell you I want $250k from you for my 2016 Honda Civic. But the market will tell you that people are willing to pay ~$17k. The $250k is asking price. The $17k is market price. A seller can refuse to sell for market price but a seller doesn't unilaterally dictate market price since that is dictated by the amount other people are willing to pay. What deals in the past do you see as the richest that the market has actually paid for someone with 1 season above a 16.5 PER and 1 season above a .087 WS/48? Let's use the richest deals in NBA history for such a player and assume that is the market. Who are your comparables and what did they fetch? I agree with you for the most part. But perhaps PER and WS are not representative of market value in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A one-time All-Star in his mid-20s? I just don't want to see us start using multiple All-NBA players like Paul George as comparables and think that makes any lick of sense when Murray doesn't have anything close to that track record. Whatever team trades for him is getting him coming off a breakout year that was unlike any season he has had and they know that even in that season he was well below league average in terms of scoring efficiency so even if you bank on him sustaining the leap without regression you know you aren't getting a big gun on offense. To compare, Paul George and Dejounte Murray both missed a season due to injury. Through their first 6 seasons, Murray totalled 16.4 win shares. George totaled 37.4 win shares. George also had 3 AS appearances (to one for Murray), 3 All-NBA selections (to 0 for Murray), and 3 All-Defense selections (to one for Murray from 4 years ago). George's worst TS% among his first 5 healthy seasons (.531%) was basically equal to Murray's best season (.533%) and no other season was remotely close. So let's not speak their names together. Here is basketball references list of comparables for Murray's first 4 seasons (this ignores the year lost to injury) before he made the leap this year (and I word it that way because for some reason they haven't updated this to include this year's numbers which should be a significant boost to the quality of players on this list): 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's use the richest deals in NBA history for such a player and assume that is the market. Who are your comparables and what did they fetch? Market Value: 1. Willing buyer & willing seller 2. Both operating in their best interest 3. Neither under any undue compulsion 4. Asset is exposed to the open market (meaning more than one potential buyer) It takes two to make the thing go right, sure, BUT it also isn't JUST one buyer and one seller. Theoretically, the market value would be the highest price a buyer (among many buyers) operating in their best interest and without any undue compulsion is willing to pay AND the seller is willing to accept (assuming the seller is also operating in their best interest and without any compulsion to make the deal). Even if we look at the transaction price of the very best players in the NBA to be traded in the last 25 years, it doesn't necessarily set the market value unless each of those deals actually reflected the above scenario. But it does give us a good jumping off point for negotiations. So I like your logic here. The problem with trying to figure out the "Market Value" of player available for trade is nearly every team is operating under some compulsion and there may not always be a competitive market of potential buyers. *NERD RANT OVER* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were pick-centric deals Murray doesn't have anywhere close to the resume that AD or PG had. They are not comparables in this context. Through their first 6 seasons, here are the numbers: DM: 16.4 WS, 0x All-NBA, 1x AS, 1x All-Defense PG: 37.4 WS, 3x All-NBA, 3x AS, 3x All-Defense AD: 62.4 WS, 3x All-NBA (all first team), 5x AS, 3x All-Defense Jrue Holiday is by far the best comparable on that list, although he was traded after 8 consecutive seasons with WS totals better than DM's 2nd best season so you were getting a significantly more proven player. But he is the best comparable for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The restricted nature of the NBA market (which is FAR from an open market given the cap restrictions, salary maximums, etc.) doesn't allow for a true market value the way we would normally think of it. The most important point from my perspective is that rumors about what a team is seeking in a trade deal means nothing as far as the true market value. At least consumated trades give some concrete point of reference but the rumor mill this time of year is filled with self-serving half-truths and whole fictions and should not be taken as a true representation of what teams are willing to pay for a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDawg#8 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 I remember thinking we paid a hefty price to bring in Joe Johnson, especially since he was just a role player with the Suns. Sometimes, these things work out better than numbers and analytics could ever predict based on past circumstantial proof. There is a reason why Pop, one of the best head coaches in the history of the game, is asking for so much for Murray. And I guarantee it’s not based on PER and W/S or anything else. He has his hands on the kid since day 1 and realizes what his ceiling is. Murray is still ascending and is already more accomplished than Joe was when we went after him. Consider how much people on here devalued Lavine, DeRozen, Booker and others. Just saying, what looks expensive now may look like a bargain later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is, we aren’t trading for Murray to be our top guy like we did with Joe. He will be number 2. Imagine if Joe was that good but only the 2nd best player on those teams behind a legit superstar that scared the crap out of opponents. Need I say more?

It's not his fault that they couldn't put the right team around him. It's not his fault that they picked Marvin Freakin Williams over Chris Paul. It's not his fault that Dwight Howard mopped the floor with Al Horford the first time we played Orlando in the playoffs. Joe had to play with the team that we gave him.. and then the fans turned on him and he left on Bad terms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
