re: Demarre Carroll to the Raptors.

Are you really that stupid? That’s a serious question.

Are you kidding? You named other players on the basis of PER who maybe played 20 mins per game as if the Hawks could find Carroll's production for so much cheaper elsewhere.

The whole reason people were busting in their pants at the thought of resigning him (note: I have not been one of those people) was because he was quite literally a perfect fit in the Hawks' system. He was Kawhi Leonard lite.

He's not worth what the Raptors are paying him. The Hawks were smart not to try to match that deal. But to pretend like there are players a dime a dozen who could do exactly what the Hawks need is asinine.

The best move was to let him walk, but its a scenario where the business of the game is taking him away from where he fits the best. The Raptors are paying him like he can be a focal point, which is stupid.
