Jalen Brunson was the best because nobody saw the magnitude of his greatness. The others were obvious contenders.

none of those guys were 2nd round picks and none were 6'2.

I think they meant biggest bargain as FA that surpassed their ceiling

Shane Walsh :
I’d argue it’s better than those others but not in a conventional “how much did signing X result affect that team winning a championship.” Lebron, Durant, and Shaq were all already best players in the league so signing them wasn’t a risk. Brunson wasn’t even the best player on the Mavs and was a backup PG at the time, so I’d just say it’s great in a non conventional sense

I dunno Joffrey Lauvergne to the spurs in 2017 was pretty special

I agree I think when we look back on this free agent signing we’ll compare it to gus Williams to Seattle

The argument is the best free agent snipe of all time a guy who was overlooked but turned out to be a steal I would put Nash in that category as well

Some are ridiculous. Wilkes to Lakers? Why even mention that lol. But I agree Shaq, Lebron and KD all changed landscape NBA for 3-8 years
