expiring contracts after next year

Yeah I'd really like to know more about how we could use cap space this summer to extend him if we can like Denver did with Gallo and Chandler. I don't really understand that

I agree if Jrue is part of the future he should be extended now. He said he still worries about His leg so maybe hes willing to take the garunteed money. Offer him a 16 mil per year deal with bonus for all star games.

Triple post

I agree with everything you said though

but if we commit to him a year early when there are serious health concerns, I expect more significant savings.

Unless the health concerns are valid and you don't get anything for your money

that assumes holiday would consider an extension...
he'll be 27 yrs old when his contract expires, and if he has a 70- 80 game season next year, he'll have all the leverage

now if he misses 20 games its a whole different scenario

The thing that irritates me is that Jrue is not a max guy.


There should be maybe 20 max guys out there, maybe 20, not close to 40 like there is now.

Gordon Hayward, Parsons, DeRozen and Barnes are good players. Max players, they are not. I mean for god's sake, you should at least have to make an all-star team before you can even be up for a max contract, maybe two. That should be a rule. i wouldn't care if they said you had to make 1 all nba team to get a max contract. At least DeRozen has all-stars appearances.

Jrue makes an all star team once, in a weak east, then follows it up with 120 missed games over the next 3 years, and he deserves near a max contract b/c he might play well and be healthy for 1 year?

Owners need to nut up and quit giving money to players that don't deserve it. There should be more $12-14 million players out there. the ones that get max or near max money that have proven nothing to warrant max money, like Draymond Green.

2017 FA PGs include Steph, Westbrook, CP3, Kyle Lowry, Jeff Teague, even Tyreke is competition

fair on lowry, teague, evans, etc
but westbrook, paul and curry arent changing teams. yes they'll be FA's but they almost assuredly wont be on the market

i think holiday (if he plays 70- 80 next year) would be at the head of the line

I think you are getting way too caught up on the word max. Those guys are worth the max versus this cap. The issue is that there are at least a dozen players that deserve significantly more than the cap. Half the guys getting the "max" are not underpaid, the other half are significantly underpaid. You need to pay attention to the relative share rather than a fabricated "max."

I really hope the players fight for the exceptions to rise/fall according to the cap.
