Paul George is nowhere close to being worth this contract and might just be toast, but there's a chance he opts out to sign a 3 year deal making slightly less per year like Middleton.

LeBron, PG13, Jrue and OG all opt out and re-sign

Jalen Smith?

Maybe Caleb Martin and KCP?

Definitely, unless he really wants to stay with LAL and wants to give them some salary flexibility for one year (assuming he keeps his play up).

According to the report that just came out 2 days ago, quite a few teams would be interested.

I dunno. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I'm kinda distracted by this great Duquesne VCU game, but from the looks of it, they are mostly on win-now teams that have little choice but to re-sign them. I would expect most of them, who are getting good minutes, to look for more money, security, and/or flexibility.

Bro literally just called a guy who just made the all-star team toast.

18ppg, 6apg and 3rpg as a 3rd/4th option with limited turnovers, 32mpg, shooting 46/42/80. What reason for disbelief exists here?

Jalen Smith deserves a bigger shot somewhere else.

Pacers are very packed in the front court. Can see him getting close to the MLE (or at least $10M) from someone.
