also. max kellerman mentioned on first take that we'd essentially have brook lopez and paul george's bird rights.
that said. maybe magic and rob actually know what they're doing. let's give them a chance.
For me....I wanna wait till PG becomes a free agent. Then the max we can offer him is about $10mil less per year than what we can (have to) offer him if we sign him this year, and then resign once the contract expires.PG is no fool. He knows this....and is of course eager to see a deal reached now. But it would be much better for us, if we waited and signed him as a FA next year.
uuuhhh no... every team can offer him the same base contract at 30% of the cap (because he'd be a 7 year vet)
the difference is that whoever holds his bird rights can offer PG 8% raises as opposed to 5% raises, which amounts to 3% difference over 2 years and 9% difference over 3 years of the 30% of the cap
if the cap was 100 mil (for simplicity sake), 30% of the cap is a base 30.0 mil in year 1, 32.4 mil in year 2, 34.8 mil in year 3... (no compounding), whereas we'd be able to offer 30.0 mil in year 1, 31.5 mil in year 2 and 33.0 mil in year 3...
of course, we'd be offering a 4 year contract, and indiana could offer a 5 year contract
overall difference across the first 3 years is 2.7 million dollars, by then we'll earn PG's bird rights and then re-sign him for 35% of the cap if the cap has risen further enough for 35% of the cap to be more than the 4th year number
