How These 5 NBA Teams Dodged A MASSIVE Bullet 

Dennis fumbling the bag will never get old.

TJ going to Brooklyn imo is the most interesting pickup of the off-season if he can give you 12-15 a game off the bench that’d be a massive acquisition

Dennis was perfect for OKC. Wish players would realize their fit in their then current teams would be the best place for them but hindsight is always 20/20

No matter what can be said about Oladipo's past with contracts, I'm glad he is in Miami. He may not get back to 100%, but what he has been adding so far has been good. He had some insane defensive moments in the playoffs this year.

I think the one for TJ is a bit unfair since the injury came later with his new team. Who knows if he's gonna be healthy if he stays

I would still consider the TJ warren deal an L move for the suns, they could have at least got something back for him. Right now their biggest weakness is a lack of offensive creation outside of paul and booker, which is a problem warren could have solved

2k14-2k18 talks about DeAndre Jordan like hes Vince Carter mixed with Wilt's height. I never really understand the hype for that guy.

Oladipo did what NBA fans always talk about wanting to see other players do and get to a situation where he can compete over taking the money.

You ripped Dennis to pieces dud

Sorry... the Lakers DID NOT dodge a bullet for not signing Schröder. Because he didnt, they traded for Westbrook. So they took a Cannonball, in the chest because they couldnt resign him! This trade never happens with Schröder on a long term deal. So the Lakers wouldbe traded for Hield. The team wouldve been WAY better with Schröder (while overpayed), Kuzma (would not have been traded) and Hield instead of Westbrook and... noone! And he wasnt horrendous in Boston. They just knew he would be a trade chip to start the season. Cause they couldnt resign him anyways. So they waited, looked what was needed and traded him when they found the right piece. Schröder wasnt great... but also not worse then White, who they replaced him with!

While I agree the Hornets dodged a bullet by Kemba rejecting their contract offer and instead go to the Celtics, I wouldn't call the Hornets rebuilding a "success". They signed Gordon Hayward to an even worse contract for 4 years 120 million, when Hayward, who has basically been injured 50% of the time since they signed him. Oh and also they are in exactly in the same spot as before, too good to tank but not good enough to make noise in the playoffs. I'll say getting rid of Kemba was good for them because they were able to get Lamelo, but I definitely wouldn't say their rebuild has been a success, especially given Miles Bridges recent domestic violence charges.

Add Houston to the mix. James harden turned down a 2 year $100 million contract then he got traded then injuries and bad playoffs happened

Dennis really thought he was worth more than 21,000,000 a year. He was lucky he got offered that amount. Greed got him humbled real quick 🙏

It's a false narrative that Dennis Schroder was looking for a better contract than the Lakers offer; he wanted to play for a team where he could start. After spending 2 years being Westbrook's backup, he didn't wanna go backwards in his career. Reggie Jackson had the same ambitions. You can subjectively fault both of them for believing they were starter-level PGs, but the situation was about basketball, not money.

Kemba got "lowballed" because of that shitty injury

Pacers fans loved Oladipo especially because he played at IU good enough to become a top draft pick, seeing him blossom was a special treat many franchises never get the chance to do. Almost all fans were ready and willing to have him come back for 110 mil even after the injury everyone who loved him thought he would come back at full strength. When he turned down the deal I know my grandmother literally cried and a couple people were ready to give him even more money if it wasn’t enough. Crazy to see how fast he went from promising young franchise player to oft injured benchie

On victor, just say the truth that dude wants the miami lifestyle over everything. He took a low ball contract from the heat to live in miami year around and did the same thing this year. It’s his life and his money but that’s why he is staying with the heat and unless some team offered him some max deal he will not leave the heat

These players need to grow up man!! When it comes down to business, you have to handle your business before it handles you!! Shoutout to Jason Black!!

Man, Oladipo was so good before the injury. He was one of my favorites.

The Warriors offered Harrison Barnes and Ezeli contract extensions in 2015. They both turned it down, and that ended up in us allowing us to sign KD in the summer of 2016

The Mavs may have dodged DeAndre Jordan, but the Chandler Parsons contract was just awful.

In my opinion, I don’t think Dennis Schroder is a bad player, I just think he plays cocky he plays like he’s the first option. He’s a very solid starter and better as a backup Pg but he needs to learn that there’s better scoring options than him

The Dennis one takes the cake 🤣

The mavericks should be glad that the clippers forced Deandre Jordon to resign with them even tho they ended up getting him in the end

Dennis said himself the 84million were never officially offered. Just fyi. He said this on a german Podcast

Let’s goooooooo New Andy video time!!

I love how Spreewell screwed himself. Serves him right, lol

This series makes me wanna subscribe

You really inspired me to start making content Andy. I've been consistent, and I'm really proud you are too. Thank you for keeping these posts coming!

Sad to see overpaid players (who were previously good) struggle to find teams or even consistent playing minutes. Some of these unlikeable contracts ultimately affect the quality of their careers.

If Beal were to decline that Supermax… My wizards would be on this list next 😔

Youre the basketball guy... lots of people making nba vids, but Andy is the standard. Nobodys as smooth wit it

Blessings to all, hope everyone has an amazing week and end of the week!!

At least some teams caught a lucky break to not give players the contract they were seeking for.

Dennis gotta joke to keep from crying…yikes lol i would never be able to sleep

5 years 160, 4 years 150, I think Kemba won that.

Deandre Jordan was one of the most overrated players in sports

Great vid! Though comparing Dennis Schröder with Russell Westbrook is completely off when reasoning the effect each SHOULD have on a team. The economics on DS Lakers offer are on point, I remember this and comparing it to the 1996 Jim McIlvaine contract that did happen...

its my first time being this early for andy hoops 😂

Thanks for the video

Travel in that 22nd play

love this video

Wow a new video different from Saturday. 😀

Yep that Nerlens Noel offer would’ve been a nightmare for my Mavs too if he would’ve signed that deal lol

Great vid

warriors missing out on dwight howard summer 13 or warriors missing out on kevin love summer 14

Dennis was not that bad at the Celtics. Furthermore they started the big winstreak before he got traded.

That that picture of Kemba Walker looks like a meme or something 0:38🤣

Kemba was a John Wall in waiting.

Andy makes 20/10 quality videos on a consistent basis and he only has less than 500k subs while clowns like Korzemba has 2+M subs,somethings not right here

Now that Schroeder has signed with the Lakers for 2 million the whole story is just that much more funny

Just comes to show you how fast shit can switch up. Feels like just yesterday Schroder was giving us hope here in Atl🤣🤣

Andy can you do a videeo with the most sucesfull rebuilds

Lakers even offering Schroder that contract shows how bad the front office is

Warren wasn't really a dodged bullet because the Suns knew him. The guy was injured every year. He's like a less severe version of AD when it came to injuries. The guy would hit his head every year and miss like 20 games.

So so many awful gms out there hurting the health of most sports

I want one of those mint green hornets jerseys so bad. They are pretty hard to find.

Dope video

Kemba gets a lot of flack for his Hornets run but they never built around him in my opinion. Bad draft options and questionable free agency signings. Kemba improved each year and they never capitalized on it.

Kemba was traded to OKC where he was bought out by the thunder. Being a free agent, he signed with the Knicks for a small short term deal

It's like these guys should just be grateful that they're paid MILLIONS to play a GAME. It's far better than any job regular people do.

The Hornets still are a middle of the pack team aka almost makes the playoff team And actually, as someone who LIVED, the joke was that Terry Rozier was better than Kemba already and that the CELTICS made a mistake letting him go after he led them to the ECF

I request a video on the opposite scenario… 5 Teams that took an RPG round to the dome. 😂

Ty

Even as a Suns homer, I feel bad for TJ Warren. Seemed like a good dude.

Cubes tried to sign Kemba to that 30 mil a year contract but he chose boston over his team. Cubes is mentioned here for Dandre Jordan and Nerlens Noel, But they also got lucky that Cubes was once again rejected by Lowly Lowry for 30 mil a year but he chose miami instead. All 4 of which could have easily made a top 5 mistakes by a Team/Owner. But Cubes did have Dennis Rodman move in with him and told his GM to let him make the decision on when and if he lets him select Gianiss with a mid first round pick(because he was trying to get a way overrated Center from Orlando a few hundred thousand more dollars with his free agent offer by trading down in the draft and then letting his GM pick Gianiss with the 19th pick.which we know he didn't last that long and that Dwight Howard didn't sign with him anyway. We also know that Cubes was enamored by Dwight Howard being the Defensive Player of the Year for 3 years, So much so that he broke up the only Championship team the Mavericks had ever had to pursue him. You want to know how badly he spiked the Punch Bowl, He broke up the Championship team and didn't draft Gianiss because he wanted the DPOTY, Which not only didn't sign but during this process they lost their Center Tyson Chandler to the Knicks, Who went on that year to be the..................DPOTY. Dude is actually worse than Jerry Jones and Dallas has them both.

Lol at Dennis Schroeder, damn

But wait a second! If dennis would’ve accepted that 80 milli contract then the Lakers would’ve probably been better last season with him than Westbrook. Because remember, if Dennis would’ve signed that contract then Russel Westbrook would’ve never been a laker

I thought of TJ Warren As a modern Adrian Dantley. In the way He moved and scored inside the paint Constantly That might be a stretch but the style of offences was similar

I think the Knicks dodged a bullet too by trading Porzingis instead of extending him

I don't agree that TJ was a mistake he just got injured at the wrong time cause Outside of two players on the sun's currently are the only two players who can give you offense and create their own shot TJ cud definitely help in that area as well and is a solid player worth that kind of money plus the sun are a cheap franchise they cud have pay Chris Paul if they wanted to

He is a good sports about it....Flexing his Bentley

Can you make a video 📷 on what would have happened had these super teams stayed together for a little bit longer

Gordon Hayward turning down the Jazz was a huge bullet dodged for Utah, as he missed 81 games the next year and hasn't been the same player since. And it berthed Donovan Mitchell as a star for the Jazz in his rookie season.

We’ll see what TJ can do healthy in brooklyn

i don’t see how you can say kemba & jordan not signing accelerated rebuilds as if them being there would’ve made any difference.

Man these players really fumbled hard!

If the lakers kept schroder then they would’ve signed Derozan instead of trading for Westbrook with an even bigger contract lmao, and the fit would’ve been better with demar

If Kemba stayed with Charlie he kept he would’ve kept playing like an all-star because of the situation he was in the only reason his play fell off in Boston was because he was around better players

Isiah Thomas will forever the best dodged contract. The moment I watched him say " they gotta back up the brinks trunk" live is when I knew It was all over

Didn’t know Warren and Booker were ever a duo…

Eventually the Mavs ended getting DeAndre Jordan in 2018 but traded him within the season to NYK (as part of the Porzingis trade) and bounced with many teams after and now, he won a ring with the Nuggets before the Clippers, Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. Also the contract they give to Kyrie this free agency and his performance with the Mavs (not including his off court issues) should be one thing to watch out this season. In Dennis case, at least he got a chance to redeem himself by returning to the Lakers a season after he left and though he's not consistent, some of his best games contributed to the Lakers' turnaround. (and as of this moment, he signed with the Raptors) Also Victor Oladipo is back with OKC, the second team he played for before and now if could bounce back from his slump, that remains to be seen.

How sad for Kemba Walker knee injury slowly ending his career

Schröder was always.... A very Special Boy.... Lets say

Ahh yes a Wednesday Andy Hoops video YESSIR

How is the Curry for Bogut trade that fell through not listed?

Nice.

Dennis Schroder might go back to Lakers with minimum contract😅

Dennis, was hast du gemacht?! 🤯

Dennis must’ve been on something good to deny that contract

#RobPelinka almost signed Schroeder to $20m, signed Horton Tucker instead of Alex Caruso, traded for Westbrook,put a bunch of non shooters around AD and LeBron. The Lakers biggest off season acquisition was Patrick Beverly. #FireRobPelinka

Chandler Parsons is still the finesse king.

My bad man I’ve been watching too many of your vids with subbing but don’t worry I fixed it 🎉

I’m a Lakers fan. Russ drives me crazy. But Dennis Schroeder is no where near his level. Dennis was just omg. I can’t even say nothing

Jordan finally made a great move regarding the Hornets.

Had the Lakers paid Schroder, they wouldn't have traded for Westbrook, a bigger problem.

Do a video where when teams dodged a bullet when they offered a contract to a player but then the other team matched it

Team that always fails to dodge? the knicks

Jaylen Brown next video Andy Hoops 🙏🙏🙏

Pelicans also dodged a bullet by not extending lonzo
