Hard capped. Can’t use BAE. Depending on how dominos fall in certain directions. the NMLE is 9.7. Is offer Spence, Lou Will and JaMychal Green, Doug McDermott the whole thing.
Based on the fact I believe Kuz will be traded for a starter, as do Jamie and Tom.
DeRozan is pretty much the only guy out in FA who would take a discount for the Lakers/Clippers. I think he ends up with one of us or them.
We can’t use the BAE this year we used it on Wes for this season.
I’d be shocked if he signed for the Vet min. I think if you divide the NMLE it’d be enough.
He’s not a 3 pt specialist and he’s not gonna win DPOY. He’s gonna do his best on D and give you 20 every night. 5 mid-range shots, a few layups and going to the line 4 or 5 times.
Only vet mins and 9.7 NMLE to fill out the roster.
I’d offer Spence PO to entice him to stay. He loves Kobe and I think it’d be a chance of a lifetime. He may not sign here but we gotta try…we havemto try…
Rob was interested in trading for him, Im sure he will try and sign him.
I also feel like I need IRS tax code 📖 to understand this draconian hard cap system. 🙄🙄🙄
We need a point guard who is a better 3-point shooter than Dennis. That’s not Spencer.
If you traded for Buddy Hield those dominos could fall together.
Problem is Denver can offer the NMLE to Green same as we could. I’d still think we’d have a larger role for him, he’s stuck behind Joker Porter Jr. and Gordon…he’d be my #1
Rob tried to trade for him Tom, he will try and sign him. Doesn’t mean it will happen though.
