It's also worth noting that Moritz is an unrestricted free agent this summer and is free to sign anywhere he wants.

Not a guarantee he will be back. Might be offered more money elsewhere.

I hope we keep Moe Wagner. Every team needs a guy who’s an agitator on defense, especially up front who provides toughness and can fill in starter or reserve. Moe is perfect for this. He’s having a good year, why not reward him with some security? He and Franz play well together and Franz being a pillar of this squad, it doesn’t hurt to make him as comfortable as possible. I think we should resign him.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

He has drawn 13 charges in total all season and he has played almost 1000 minutes. The impact of his drawn charges is almost non-existent. And he is not Top 5 anyway.

I wouldn't get into a bidding war with him but wouldn't be upset if we resigned him either.

Remember in this NBA Brook Lopez became a decent tall defender. There is still hope for Mo in my humble opinion.

I agree with this. I think he will get 3 years 18 million. I would like to see 3yrs/12-15 but I bet he gets a little more.

There is no chance whatsoever that I'd be willing to give Mortiz 3 years, 18M.
