Guaranteed vet minimum to maybe double that? He's still not a floor stretch or true rim protector, though he works hard in that avenue and sometimes dissuades guys with height and effort, and can even block a couple shots here and there. But he's still a low minutes, situational big, and those guys just don't get paid. Especially not as he'll be 29 this summer, and there's no "potential" or whatnot.
I would imagine he re-signs in Boston for a bit over the vet minimum, and has it fully guaranteed, rather than having to sweat out the January cut down dates? And that Boston is happy to have him for that.
As a Boston fan I hope that is correct.
He is a good shooter and could stretch the floor if he was asked to. He does have limitations on being switchable and guarding the perimeter though.
I think many Boston fans are concerned he could get a bigger offer.
He hasn't shown the ability to reliably hit the 3 since 2018-19. And I bet that if he
could stretch the floor, Boston would happily ask him to? Teams don't often ask a player to not utilize talents that could make the team much better or more of a threat offensively. They usually ask them not to try to stretch the floor if they just can't reliably stretch the floor.
I think his role is as a rebounder, he is not going to get any boards out at the 3. That is KP and Al's role. Not as a Bol Bol type. And yeah, he is very limited on both ends of the floor. My guess is 3 at 3 per all guaranteed. I like Querta's upside and would not be that upset if he does walk
