Jackie Mac on Marcus Smart's RFA--"He's going for the money"

[Bad-Thoma]

So if Smart isn’t on our team next season, who will be the next player on our team that garners as much love vs hate and that we create countless numbers of threads over? I’m guessing Rozier or maybe Brown(if he doesn’t continue to improve)?

Maybe Yabs too, I know he won't play much (if the team is healthy, fingers crossed salt thrown and wood knocked) but the fact that he isn't a standard NBA build and isn't a high ceiling player will probably have people calling him a fatty, lazy, etc.

Anybody know why Smart QO is 6 million but Jabari Parker QO is only 4.3 million? I assumed Jabari would be higher as he was a higher draft pick and had a bigger rookie deal.

Where are you seeing that number? I believe the correct QO is 7.375 million

There is language related to playing time in the calculation of the QO. Noel had same issue last year.

I feel like Williams is an obvious candidate.

That or everyone converges on Morris.

Both good candidates.

We won't see much of Williams in his rookie season to have strong opinions on him one way or the other. If he continues missing appointments or practices, maybe we'll have something to talk about.

Morris isn't polarizing.

Probably Rozier, whose RFA is up next.

TRo is a good possibility It will be a sign of great progress if Yabs can advance to the point of being controversial (in his play, rather than just his weight).
