Bertans is another name we can expect.

Bertans being a situational option could turn out very nicely. If OG or Randle miss time during the regular season, he or KBD could fill in for a solid 10 min per game.

He can fill in for 10 minutes on slower PF’s/utilize shooting if we can get going, not asking him to play Josh Hart playoff minutes.

As situational as humanly possible lol. Not advocating for real minutes at all. Being 6’10, he should be able to provide something net even for 10 minutes

Have a feeling it'll be Hayward for the tax MLE. He's decent Randle/OG insurance. Knicks can break glass in case of emergency with him and manage his minutes. It didn't work out in OKC but, his minutes in Charlotte were pretty decent last year.

State of Indiana legend, loved watching him at Butler.

Some of y’all need to take him off your MLE wish list now!

The problem with signing him is that he would demand minutes.

I thought with him making all-nba his contract extension would start in 200's

so that's actually pretty fair. We mostly have the main core locked up. Might as well go for it

How incredible would that be? But it is quite doubtful. It seems like Randle wants the bag

He left CAA and his comment was I am betting on myself. Usually that means a player wants the biggest payday possible. Why he came back to CAA is unknown but he definitely seems to want to max. By not extending and waiting until end of year he can sign for something like 5/310 I think. It is basically more or less what Brunson passed on to give us a more team friendly extension (at least in the short term)

If he doesn't accept the $181m extension (which high still might!) then he's getting traded by the Feb '24 deadline IMO.

Maybe by then the Bucks will be failing expectations and they’ll accept a 3 way deal with us and Houston :nod:
