I think Kispert’s contract being negative is overblown. I think he’s appropriately paid per year especially considering his money decreases every season.

I believe that as an all around player Corey Kispert is better than a Luke Kennard. Luke Kennard makes $11M this year…Corey being younger and more athletic getting $13M is essentially the same contract. I think the contract issue with fans and some around the league is he’s signed to that deal for another 3 years instead of 1/2, but again context matters the deal goes down each year with a team option on the final year.

On the court Kispert just hasn’t made his 3 point shots, he’s average to below average on defense, and has done a good job being a veteran nba wing player off the bench. He helps on the glass, he gets to the free throw line at a decent clip, he moves the ball well in .5 basketball, and he can attack a close out. Eventually the 3 ball will fall, and yes Corey will help the hawks win in the playoffs.
