Message: [QUOTE="NYCorange, post: 1777988, member: 4918"] The thing is, that's actually the role of everyone on OKC not named Durant or Westbrook. Spot up in the corners and be ready to shoot or attack closeouts. It's not the worst offensive strategy, but it doesn't put optimal stress on a defense. What I would pay Dion would depend a LOT on what sort of team I had. If I was a team who needed a star or a competent wing player in the worst sort of way, and had a coach I was confident would hold him responsible, I would absolutely roll the dice for 12-15 mill a year for 2-3 years to see what he could become. He's still really young (6 months older than Gbinije) and could become a really good player in the right role/system. In other words, if I was the Dallas Mavericks, I might offer him a lot even though I had Matthews. And if I was the 76ers, I'd give him a lot too. [/QUOTE]
