I'm now wondering if the Nets are pointing to Bledsoe's extension & trying to use that as a benchmark. Right now, I'd put DLo & Bledsoe on about the same, borderline allstar tier. DLo should get more due to the age gap, but how much more? Bledsoe was extended at 4/$70mil. Does that set the market? Probably not, but I'm sure Marks will use that as a starting # in negotiations. That brings me back full circle to a $20mil per average. I think that's fair, but in FA everyone gets overpaid.
I have no issue with 20-22 mil per.
Hmm i wonder if Russell is willing to play ball...
Wonder if we can offer him a $124M over 5 year deal. We can basicly start him at about $17M for 2019, lowering his cap hit by $4M from the hold. This SHOULD be the space we need for a Durant MAX.
Now, to make it worth it for Russell, we would give him an Player/ETO after two years.
Why 2 years? Because that would give him 6 years of eligibility, which means his MAX at that point is 30% (instead of the 25%).
Basically, we can resign him to a fair deal that gives him security while maximizing our cap space to go after a Durant.
And if Russell is really balling, he can ETO in 2021, make up the money he "lost" earlier to sign a larger max deal.

Someone will offer the max, I'd assume. Do you think Brooklyn matches?

I'm also not fully convinced that Russell will find a max offer sheet. There are not many PG needy teams with max cap space. There's a chance that a team w/ a PG & max space that gets shutout in FA rolls the dice on maxing Russell in the name of talent acquisition, but that's not a guarantee. There are a number of good, starting caliber PGs that will be available in FA. Orlando already took a gamble on Fultz. Phoenix may try to roll with Garland or White.
I've felt for a while that Russell will get a 5 year deal for less than the max, but more total money than the 4 year max. Something like 5/$130-135mil.

The ideal is to have him hold tight while the Nets make necessary roster improvements and then go over the cap to retain him to a number that both sides are happy with.

yup, it is also on marks to now VERY early on if he is going to sign 2 max guys or not.... you can tell Dlo to sit tight if you know you will sign him. cant do that if its 50/50 you may renounce him. thats doing russell dirty... MArks has shown he values trating guys right over team building.
I think Marks will try for the big FAs, and if they say that they wanna pair up with another max FA (like KD with Kyrie), then at that point, Marks will probably make the decision to renounce D Lo. What works in our favor is that teams can't officially sign RFAs to offer sheets until July 8th. So even in the worst case scenario, the matching period won't start until the big FAs make their moves. It gives Marks about a week to see which direction to head in.MrDollarBills wrote:Prokorov wrote:MrDollarBills wrote:I agree with the line of thinking that if Russell even entertains an offer from another club, discussions between his agent and the Nets have broken down.

I don't see the Nets letting Russell walk, but right now I have no idea what Marks is planning.

So I think he does work on it but the might only get so big
