I saw TnT legend Smitty say some stuff about that on the bird app. Makes sense, especially considering that it’ll be an accelerated free agency.

My biggest thing with Bertans is that he’s a guy that a competing team would sign but none of them have more than the MLE. I’m not sure who offers more than the MLE except Washington.

I think a number of older vets are getting overpaid on this list. I think a number of young guys will go for more.Mamba4Goat wrote:Hi guys, thought it would be a fun project to break down this year's free-agent class into tiers based on their expected contract range...I'll leave off guys that will likely accept their Player Options (DeRozan, Drummond, Porter Jr, Hayward, etc.)

If I missed anyone I either legitimately missed them or deemed them not worthy of mention because I'm a jerk. Lots of people fit into two ranges too so it is a little fluid.

Maybe New York or Detroit perhaps?

That's fair though I could see Atlanta making a bigger offer or the Knicks making a big offer on a 1 year deal (a good FA PF for a change of pace). I mean you're right that these are not necessarily contenders but neither is Washington and its not like he's a lifer there.

I would sign him for $10 Million if that’s all it took

With this summer's money probably more like $20M/yr then $25M/yrMamba4Goat wrote:$20-25mil annuallySpoiler:
I expect Fournier opts in. The others do seem to be in the 'just above MLE money' range. Crowder, Joe Harris or Bogdonovic might join them. Dragic may even get more but just on a 1-year deal to preserve Miami's 2021 cap space.Mamba4Goat wrote:

Crowder/Dragic/Harris/Ibaka/Bogdonovic could get more. On the other hand I don't see Plumlee, Thompson, Saric Melton, Holiday,Augustine (or Milsap or Gasol if for more then one year) getting this much. And I'd expect Giles to be way less.Mamba4Goat wrote:

Clarkson, Hernangomez and Harkless could get full MLE money. Many others on this list could be down to vet min deals given how little money is out there (Portis, Moore, Galloway)Mamba4Goat wrote:

I could see Craig getting more. Solid 3 and D SF is a very in-demand role.Mamba4Goat wrote:
