There’s 0 percent chance we sign anything of note.
For hook or crook they will be going after Giannis and signing Harrell would impede that.
We will sign a bunch of 1 year deals and go with relatively the same group.
Ibaka is def gone and replaced with Dewan/FRP.

That said, I'm guessing he's hoping to make 20+ Million, which seems insane to me.
I think the only realistic way we could get him would be similar to how GS signed Boogie before last season. If we're without a starting C, having him as a one year MLE starter would give him the opportunity to boost his value for next summer when more teams have cap room.

Man...idk what playoffs you were watching but you sound like a pinhead right now. Pascal was arguably our best defender in the playoffs, especially in that Boston series. He struggled mightily on offence, but locked up both Tatum and Brown.

He is for sure a keeper and the Raps will focus on keeping him because big men who can shoot the three are extremely valuable. He also does a good job of protecting the basket and he is one of the best in the league in the screen and roll aspect of the game.
Keeping your fellow Africans will help to attract Giannis so I expect Serge to be our starting center next season and if Giannis ever comes here he can easily fit into his style of play or come off the bench. They may overpay him just to get him to sign a one year deal and that allows them to sign him to a longer deal in 2021 when they can go over the cap in retaining their own players.Steelo Green wrote:Harrel sucks in the PnR D, and cannot shoot.

No he doesnt. I dont want Harrell, but this is one area he actually excels. He's good at switching out onto smaller guards and wings and doing a decent job. Where he struggles is against legit size, like Jokic or Embiid and he doesnt have the wing skills to play PF in the modern NBA. It makes him far too situational for my likes

Is there a realistic way to sign Fred, Ibaka, Harrel AND maintain 2021 max contract cap space?

What were you watching? Overall those 2 dominated us. Maybe he slowed them down in small stretches but that's it.
