I know this shouldn't be a surprise at this point, but this feels like a mistake. Is he even a top half of the league starting center?

Guys I'd rather have:
Jokic
Embiid
Gobert
Capela
Bam
Sabonis/Turner (I count both as Cs personally)
Vuc
Ayton
KAT
Wood
AD if you count him as a center

And I think he's in the same tier as Holmes, JVal (though he's a more useful player type than JVal probably), Poeltl, Nurk

Seems crazy to give him that much. Make him find an offer sheet out there

You do realize that of the guys you'd rather have, the only one making significantly less than $20m/year are Wood and Ayton? $20m/year is fine. Allen's career should be right in that Capela/Turner range.

Idk, the biggest domino of the FA season has already dropped:

Aren't we on summer roster spots sizes already? This we need a 15th spot thing isn't actually a thing.

I guess they thought it was rude to just say “yeah, he sucks” in the official release

Rumor that Memphis may be looking at Rose. Guess that is why Tyus was supposedly available.

Also props to Smitty for breaking TJ back to Indy.

Higher for 22-23 than expected. That's cool! League must be back on the up

Think I saw somewhere that the losses weren't as bad as expected and thus the decent bump

“Significantly” doing a lot of work in that sentence.

$20 million a year puts him behind Jokic, Embiid, AD, Gobert, KAT, Vuc and ahead of Capela, Sabonis, Turner, Ayton (for the moment), and Wood
