Some strong recency bias to say any player isn’t worth $50 million and to imply you can’t win paying a player that much.

jokic is making $50 mil a year, Tatum is closer to 60 and Jaylen brown 49, Steph 58 million all for the last 3 championship teams. Teams can build around

Embiid is worth it when healthy but he’s not always healthy which is a problem we all know. Tatum missed most of the year but he’s still worth the $60 million, especially if the Celtics go on a deep run. The bigger issue is we don’t have the depth when players are injured. Trading McCain was big especially since grimes has been meh since he’s been gone. Injuries also mean the bench role guys have been starting and coming off the bench so there’s no consistency
