I would love to get PJ Washington but I think Charlotte is gonna match any offer (well except something close to the max but doesn't make sense to do it)
Is PJ Washington a 100/4 or 85/4 type player ? I think that's the type of offer that will get him to OKC but I'm not entirely sure that's reasonable with the money OKC will be tied up with in the future. What do you think Dadouv ?
I believe CHA will most definitely match any offer within 20M a year.
I think he will get between 80 and 88 millions (maybe a bit more since the cap space is supposed to increase a lot every year but the new taxes restriction could impact players too so I'm not sure).
I wouldn't feel good about giving him more than 22 millions/year tbh. I don't mind overpaying a guy for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 season but after that we will have Giddey's second contract (and hopefully Chet's and JDub a year after that)
I wouldn't touch him for that kind of money. We've been good about finding guys like Kenrich and Wiggins. I trust Presti to find someone with more size. I think giving that much money to Washington is really forcing the issue. I don't see where the value comes from. At best, he is inoffensive and fills a hole, but that's not reason enough to throw that kind of money at it him. I'd save that money to retain our own and keep working at the margins to find players whose utility exceeds their contracts. I'm not saying I am averse to bringing in someone on a larger contract, but I need a compelling reason to. Until such an option appears, I'd keep my powder dry.
