Agent probably looking at the market telling him he can make A LOT more than that next summer and QO is over $5 million anyway. I wouldn't mind him on the QO though now that we have Jalen and Jae. Saric wasn't that great most of the season...and I don't quite trust bubble stats/play.
I dunno, the money is drying up this year, and next year there will be a lot of teams with space but also a lot of FAs next year commanding that money. I think a 1+1 deal with a player option might suit both parties fairly well.
That makes sense. Maybe declining like $13-$11.5
I don't know if there are a ton of free agents next summer...just some big names and Oubre but the main thing is that a lot of teams are clearing cap space for next summer for Giannis and only one team will get him and he could stay in Milwaukee. That would leave NY, Toronto, Miami and Dallas with a ton of cap space, and I'm pretty sure a lot of other teams will have cap space too.
It's a pretty good class. Giannis, Kawhi, Paul George, Gobert, Dipo, Jrue Holliday, DeRozan, Drummond, Oubre, Adams, Blake Griffin.
It's definitely an OLDER FA class, but there is PLENTY of talent that someone will throw stupid money at. Watch the Knicks sign Oubre and Drummond and think they've got a shot in the East.
