There are a bunch of ways to be a good shooter in the NBA. Some guys park in the corner and drill catch-and-shoot jumpers. Others fly off screens like it’s a track meet.

Rookie-scale contracts are the best deals in basketball, and the higher a team picks, the better its odds historically of landing a franchise changer. Most GMs would rather get fired swinging for a future All-Star than risk sliding down the board and watching the guy they passed on torch them for the next decade.

Or when the Thunder traded for Paul George even though he also wanted to land in Los Angeles? He liked it so much in OKC that he re-signed. Later, the Thunder flipped him for a war chest of picks and launched a new era. AdvertisementJust like Leonard’s Spurs and George’s Pacers, the Suns don’t owe Kevin Durant a damn thing.
