they are going to match any deal.
i would be shocked if Sean Marks offers an insane deal to another RFA following our acquisition of Russell. RHJ is going to get paid. Russell is going to get paid.
the next difference makers that will wear Nets unis will come from Toronto's two picks that we have this year, or our own 2019 pick.
You do realize he signed RFA Otto Porter to a max offer sheet after acquiring Russell right? And then traded for Crabbe, who he'd signed to large offer sheet last year. One could surmise that Marks primary strategy has been to pursue young talents that fit via RFA. It's enormously unlikely we get Gordon, but that doesn't mean they won't attempt it even if it's just to tie up the Magic's cap. You're putting an awful lot of faith in a non-lotto 1st and a 2nd if you're expecting difference makers.
we won't have the cap room.
also, we got both LeVert and Allen with non lotto picks.
