Would you do it: John Collins

[psman2]

I thought it might be fun to toss around some FA options here that might get more attention than in the trade thread. Mods feel free to move it there if you think that is better.

So under this hypothetical we are trading Val for the best draft asset while clearing a good chuck of Val salary. I will use this trade in this example: Charlotte 17-11 swap for Val. I would even add some 2nds/Allen if they swallow his whole contract but I will leave that part out for now.

Winslow is declined.

So this is what our cap looks like going into FA assuming we keep Porter

11 pick $3,462,000
Dillon Brooks $12,200,000
Kyle Anderson $9,937,150
Ja Morant $9,603,360
Jaren Jackson Jr. $9,180,560
De'Anthony Melton $8,805,976
Tyus Jones $8,376,286
Grayson Allen $4,054,695
Brandon Clarke $2,726,880
John Konchar $2,200,000
Desmond Bane $2,033,160
Jontay Porter $1,950,000
Xavier Tillman Sr $1,517,981
Total $76,048,048
Salary Cap est. $112,000,000
Cap Space $36,000,000

1. Would you be for or against giving John Collins a max contract? 1st starts at $28,103,550 and is a 4/$120,845,268 total contract.
2. Would you give up Clarke to bribe Atlanta not to match?
3. If you are against signing Collins what would you do with the 36m in FA?

I am good with your plan.

1. Yes
2. Yes
2. I would keep Winslow and wait until the deadline.

[psman2]

I am good with your plan.

To Keep Winslow and max Collins we have to clear another 4 million or so. Allen seems like the logical guy to trade them. I honestly think we could get Winslow back on a 2/20 with a TO if we waive him. I don't think a team will offer him the full MLE anymore.

[VCfor3]

1. Strong yes I'd make the offer

2. Yes though it hurts since Collins on a max is probably a bad deal but an on court upgrade

3. I see if there is a way for us to put a third youngish star around Ja and JJJ with our cap space as a way to add value in a potential offer. If that isn't available I see if there are any salary dump options (aiming for expiring contracts to keep space intact for 2022 offseason) or if there are any FA bargains. I probable decline Winslow's contract no matter what and if it looks like we don't have a better use for the space and have a roster spot I offer him a 2 year descending deal with a team option. I'm not upset if we carry some open space into the regular season since we might be able to get value for it at the deadline if a team needs to duck the tax or if cap space is needed to facilitate a trade. I'd also consider extending Kyle Anderson with as much of the money added to his 21-22 salary as possible to make him a bargain contract moving forward and a valuable asset locked up long term like what Crowder was a few years ago. If Anderson has another year next year that is as good or better than this year, him locked up for another 3-4 years fairly cheap might net you two (late) 1sts kind of like what Houston got for Covington.

3 TL/DR - Use the space to go after a 3rd star and if I can't find one I use it to acquire more assets for when a 3rd star becomes available

PS: Brilliant idea to start this!

Under this scenario Anderson is likely going to be a backup 4/3 but should still be able to get 25-30 minutes. So if we decline Winslow and give Collins his max that should leave us with around 7-8 million left in cap space (trading Allen could free us up some more). If we were to offer Anderson a 7 million dollar rise so lets just round that up to 17 and extent him on that flat rate or maybe even some declining aspect to it. Would he accept the 4/68 with an immediate raise of the 7 million? Would that me enough to entice him? Too much?

I am just not sure if I want Anderson on that contract as a backup, until we find our starting SG/SF (this is assuming Brooks fills one of those roles) do we want to lose salary flexibility by extending him? Or we trade Anderson if the return is worth it now, or just keep him into FA and see what are options are at that point.

I would hope under this sceneries maybe with pick 11 we find our SG/SF of the future, but that is no guarantee. We would have to make that decision on Anderson before we have a good grasp on that players capabilities which might take years to unfold.

That would be a tough Kyle deal to swallow. I'd imagine that it would either have max decreases or at least decrease after the first year with the former more likely than the later given the FO history unless we are trying hard for cap space in 2022.

So I think the max I'd do comfortably would be to start him at like 15m for next year with max 8% decreases. Including the bonus money added to next season, he'd get a total of about $54.7m of new money with the extension which is about $13m or so more than if he waited till next offseason and only got the full MLE. He'd have to decide if he thinks he can get $13.7m+ or not from a team the following offseason since that would be the breakeven point if he forgoes our proposed contract extension. For a team trading for him he would be able to be legally traded to a not-over-the-tax team for their MLE player salary-wise as soon as after next season which should make moving him to almost any team fairly simple. This is his last contract so maybe he prefers to wait and bet on himself, but there also is a chance he worries next season goes sideways and he misses out on his payday. This protects him against a bad season or injury.

Starting at 15m: 15m / 13.89m / 12.86m / 11.91m / 11.03m (New money: $54.7m)

For a starting-caliber glue guy/role player on a team that isn't too bad. For a 6th guy off the bench it is maybe a little expensive but not terrible. With JV gone in your scenario you probably have Anderson as your starting PF next to JJJ with Tillman starting when the matchup dictates it. Then if Clarke has a resurgence or via trade/draft you end up with a better starter than Anderson, you could trade him in the 2022 offseason to some team who want a long term cost controlled PF. You also have teams that went all in with their picks starting to have a 1st round pick available again so maybe they'd toss in one more pick to try and win now, which in turn makes that pick pretty valuable. Especially if you can get a pick swap or something too depending on how strong the market is.

-Minny could have strong interest if McDaniels can slot in at SF and they don't find a PF during that time.
-Golden State could potentially have interest if they are still win now (they should have interest now honestly).
-NOP could have interest if they plan on playing Zion at C since Anderson is pretty solid on help D (I think they need a center who can space the floor next to Zion but who knows what they are thinking). Atlanta may have interest if they end up losing Collins this offseason (I bet they keep him at a max or near max contract).
-PHX could have interest if Crowder starts declining (they could even trade Crowder as an expiring plus picks for Anderson next offseason).
-Who knows what Boston looks like a year from now but there is a chance they may want Anderson.
-Brooklyn is one that could be somewhat interesting. Maybe they do Harris, a pick, and a pick swap for Anderson+ok player if Harris has a rough go of it next season. Or maybe they do just Harris for Anderson to save money on a hefty tax bill.
-If the Bulls lose Markkanen this offseason then maybe they make a move for Anderson to keep Lavine? If they keep Markkanen and he isn't working out would they pay to turn him into Anderson (I don't know if we would want to do that though).
-Dallas really needs a star to pair with Luka, but if they are looking for quality role players to put around him maybe they'd have interest?
-Denver has Gordon right now but if he walks after next season they could really use Anderson especially if their guard situation doesn't change much. His secondary creation would really help plus his help defense would be good next to Jokic and MPJ. Only problem is that both MPJ and Anderson are best at PF so Anderson would likely log minutes at SF as well as maybe backup PF when MPJ sits.
-If the Pacers move Turner they might have some interest in Anderson
-LAC has Morris but maybe they have some interest? Probably not but who knows. Maybe they move Morris and trade for Anderson to get a little cheaper with PG13, Kawhi, and hopefully a solid point guard pushing the team into the tax.
-Could see the Heat having some interest. Think he'd work decently with Bam and a cost controlled starter may be something they are looking for at that time with Robinson either gone or on a large contract, Bam and (likely) Jimmy's extensions, and maybe a Lowry or VO contract on the books.
-MIL may have interest in him as a PJ Tucker replacement since after another season PJ may really be declining.
-Utah could use a PF right now since they keep having to play small and put a SF at that position. Anderson would fit the passing scheme, help Gobert on defense, and with his new 3pt ability still spread the floor almost as much as Royce was.
-Who knows with the Knicks, Kings, and Spurs since I have zero idea how each team will look in a year. If they are rebuilding then no interest. If not then the Spurs could use a PF, the Kings could use a PF if they move on from Bagley, and the Knicks might need one if Randle isn't on the team or if he moves to center and Robinson isn't on the team. Though the Knicks could use playmaking, I really don't see them as a good target.

Collins is the starter here under this scenario at PF.

I honestly think Anderson gets a 4/70+ contract if he has another season like this one from somebody. 2022 is going to flush with cap space. So the question is how much of a bargain is he willing to give to get a little extra upfront and avoid the other risks (performance/injury) with waiting another season before locking in his new contract.

So the question is how much of a bargain is he willing to give to get a little extra upfront and avoid the other risks (performance/injury) with waiting another season before locking in his new contract.

I was thinking in general with the Anderson thing, but either way I'd be hesitant to pay him starter money right now whether we have Collins or not. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but I'd rather trade him to the Warriors for say Looney+2022 GSW 1st Lottery protected then 2nds than use most all our cap on him when we need someone who elevates us so much more than what he can provide.
