Dennis expected to garner Max Contract in 2017 Free Agency?

[Jamaaliver]

A throw away comment in the revelation that DS was almost traded to Philly, is that the 76ers front office views DS as worthy of a max deal when he hits free agency next summer.

...a source expects the Sixers and Hawks to revisit trade talks for him during the NBA draft on June 23.

A source said that the Sixers are prepared to sign him a maximum-salary deal.

NBC Sports's take
If the 76ers are truly interested in Schröder, they need Atlanta to comply by either trading them the point guard or not extending him and not matching a 2017 offer sheet. What’s a good way to get the Hawks on board? Convince them Schröder will receive a max offer sheet in 2017, whether it’s true or not. If they believe keeping Schröder will cost that much, they’ll be much more motivated to deal him first.

Philadelphia will be waiting with a package that may or may not appease Atlanta. Barring a trade, will that max offer sheet really come? The 76ers face significant roster upheaval before 2017 free agency, and it’s far from guaranteed they’ll still need a point guard then. Remember, they have several first-round picks in the next two drafts to stock their roster (either directly or through trade).

There are reasons for the 76ers and Hawks to talk about Schröder, but that’s a long way from the point guard landing in Philadelphia.

CBS Sports's Take
...this shows you the deal coming for Schroder in 2017 is going to blow a lot of people's minds. A lot of the money being thrown around is going to be crazy, but there will be a lot of interest generated for a point guard like Schroder.

Considering he'll be a restricted free agent (assuming an extension isn't reached this fall), that could raise the price tag even more to put pressure on the Hawks to either match a big deal or risk letting their supposed point guard of the future go for nothing in return. And if the Sixers are seriously considering offering a max offer sheet to Schroder in 2017, who isn't going to get a crazy max offer?

Is this a clever smokescreen by Jerry Colangelo to force a trade? Is DS destined to leave?
Could we go from too many starting PGs to none by 2017?

Thoughts?
Predictions?
Concerns?

Last year I got a man crush on Devin Booker. This year i'm getting a man crush on Denzel Valentine.

If the sixers (or any team) gets the #15 pick and Valentine is available, I would love to trade away Dennis or Teague for a shot at getting Valentine on draft day.

I don't think that Dennis gets max because at this point his potential is still greater than his production and the NBA is just saturated with talented PGs.

Dennis is our most talented player. We will pay to keep him. Due to his development, max while clearly not an option now could be in 2017.

Why? Denzel Valentine is not that good? The Hawks would not trade either player for someone like him. Maybe a stud but not someone that you like from college Basketball. Every year some fan falls in love with these seniors who are busts in the NBA

I will have no concern paying Dennis the max if he continues his upward trajectory.
Reggie Jackson, Eric Bledsoe, Ricky Rubio, Brandon Knight - all these PG got close to max deals coming off their rookie seasons.
This should not be an issue for the Hawks.

That article further makes no sense since we'll have to pay either Jeff or Dennis. So if Jeff is traded (hopefully this off season) Dennis will be here.

I'd rather pay Dennis than Teague. Teague has reached his ceiling and I have a bad feeling that once he gets his money the bit of aggressiveness he sometimes displays will subside, not to mention the constant ankle injuries.

If Dennis improves the way I think he will, then he'll probably warrant a max contract when he's eligible.

[PandaKidd]

theyll pay DS. And what they should do is trade teague in the offseason and give total control to DS next year and see if hes ready.

[PandaKidd]

the most shocking thing to me was that Bud may have been ready to move on from DS (the initial reports) referenced that Budenholzer was tired of DS being the alpha. That worries me.

Supposedly he didnt like Payne either.

I doubt much of that is true, and i doubt that trade was ever really thought of. Talk about the all time dumbass moves to move a key rotation player.

With news that the Colangelo family has completed a takeover of the Philly 76ers, any thoughts on how this effects their pursuit of Dennis Schroder?

[jayu70]

Before the takeover it was previously noted that Sixers would revisit trade possibilities in the t offseaon. Nothing changes.
Philly may be interested but the Hawks aren't giving him away. It'll be interesting to see how the Colangelo's value picks and young players vs Hinkie.

I hope Philly does indeed get back into the mix.
I'd like some sure value for him if he means that much to him.
However, I do expect a handful of teams to pursue him, but the list could run thin depending on any max offers.

[Jamaaliver]

Dennis for Dario Saric could be beneficial to both teams.

Dario can come sit behind Millsap for a year and learn the system. Dennis gets to go become the #1 option on a bad team and learn just how fortunate he's been these last three years.

I'd still prefer to move Teague as well, though. Seven seasons is enough for me. We get Heyward, Middleton, Oladipo, Motiejunas or WCS & McLemore and things can turn around here very quickly.

I think there is still a significant interest in Schröder (possibly Teague as well) from the 76ers despite Hinkie stepping down. Now that Bryan Colangelo is running the show, we shouldn't have to give up an arm and a leg in any potential Schröder/Teague to Philly deal. I could definitely see any one of Okafor, Noel, Saric being in play for Dennis or Jeff. Apparently Hinkie rubbed a lot of GM's the wrong way with having to clearly "win" every trade he was a part of--I'd like for Bud and Wes to call up the Colangelo's this off-season to gauge interest as I think the negotiations would now be much easier.

[Geaux_Hawks]

I'm starting to think we are going to trade Dennis this off-season. Ressler wants to continue winning, and Teague is playing well as of late(23\5 on good percentages). Dennis isn't becoming a better shooter, and Buds system relies on good shooting, which Teague is so much better at. If Dennis has some legit value around the league, then I think we should cash in on that and rid ourselves of this conumdrum we have at PG.

[atlantabbq99]

If the Hawks can work out any trade for a late lottery or early lottery pick that would get them Jaylen Brown for Dennis, the Hawks should take it. Any trade that is basically a straight up swap of Jaylen Brown for Dennis, which would be similar to the Kawhi for George Hill trade, would be worth it, because i think coach Budz can coach up Jaylen Brown to be an All Star SF, or slightly better version of Demare Carroll.

That was Leonard in that trade, but I do agree on Jaylen Brown being the target.

Ya sorry, I had Paul George on the brain when i was typing, my bad. I went back and fixed it.
