re: So who do we sign with Jrue's cap space this summer?

quote:

Jrue signing a max or below max deal ain't going to matter. He will be the last player signed during the offseason and will be signed with bird rights. The only person his final number matters to is Mr. Benson.

Not that it would change my decision on whether to max Jrue out or not (I would), but the amount of money that he makes will eventually affect whether we're in the tax or not. Being in the tax or close to it affects team exceptions. That's a ways away from happening, but eventually Jrue getting a max vs., say, 90% of a max will have an impact.
