Why is it always your argument that people don't watch the NBA if they disagree with you.  Many here watch the NBA, and watch with their eyes and not only calculators.    Dion is not really any overwhelmingly better than the others who got around 4/40 - he may not be any worse, but what exactly has he accomplished in his career to say he is better.    He is a good defender when he wants to, but he is not always consistent in that regard.     The people that also look at efficiency date have observed that the NBA is very much concerned about shooting efficiency and how one helps to spread the floor.   To claim otherwise means you are not following the existing trade and FA signings and the trends of lineups in the NBA.

GM's didn't make any major plays for Dion - I think that stands pretty much on its own.     You can argue all you want that it is only one incident but he has a rep as a malcontent / immature and that appears to have really been a differentiator in the market.     But of course it makes more sense to blame Dion's GM for "ignoring" or not trying to get the 4/40+ offers out there.   That makes more sense -- you don't think if an NBA team wanted him they would have contacted the agent?

Could he have got more than 1/2.9 -- certainly, I think he took the best situation when the 4/40+ deals were not out there.    I hope it works for him.
