I haven’t been a fan of him so far but 2 years is fine.

Really didn't expect he'd get a pay raise at his age and skillset. Good for Kelly though. Lol

almost the max he was eligible to sign right now.

also doug smith was correct.

Hope he starts to scale up on the # of 3's he takes. Have not fallen so far but 3.7 per 36 is not enough.

2 years is nothing.

This deal is a lower % of the cap than the deal he is on right now

For his production, it’s really not.
Good deal.

This isn’t too bad at all

I was worried it would be 3 years

$13m isn’t much in NBA anymore, but is full MLE

ForeverTFC · Post #14 » by **ForeverTFC** » Mon Mar 4, 2024 10:47 pm

2 years full MLE type deal it looks like:

This year MLE year 1= $12.4m
Cap rising next year by ~3.7% = $12.9 Year 1 Salary
5% raise for year 2 = $13.5 year 2 Salary
Total = 2 years / ~$26.5m

No discount but I guess they got the 2 year term whereas they could have argued someone could have tossed him a 3rd year in the open market. This I think pretty much confirms their first option is to operate above the cap next year, the trade allows them to do 2 full MLE deals.

This is great. We got 5 picks over the next 3 drafts. One of them will be a center and we are likely set at that position for a long time. If that pick comes sooner than later we could still trade poetl who is a useful piece for alot of contenders/friends contenders.

Still such a shame about koloko but that's life.

Welcome back, Kelly!

2 years for Kelly is good. Now we'll see what Olynyk gets.

Not bad at all, about what was expected. He'll hopefully be a fine vet backup for those two years while they mentor a replacement.
