That is not entirely accurate. You can't S&T an RFA that has SIGNED an offer sheet. Dell Demps reportedly wouldn't even take calls from Phoenix and Houston about Eric Gordon. He signed an offer sheet and Demps matched. By not taking calls Demps basically told other teams he wasn't interested in S&Ts for Gordon.

Contrast that with how the Pels acquired Tyreke. Sacramento said they were going to offer him a deal valued around his Qualifying Offer, way under market value for Tyreke. That odd offer was intentional, they didn't want to resign him and were practically begging for someone to do a S&T.

A middle ground between those 2 extremes would be Griff telling Rich Paul that he wants to do a S&T so find a team with a deal he likes but don't sign an offer sheet and Griff will try to work something out.

Will likely get into a Bogdan situation with teams having so much space this summer. Kings could have done a S&T and received at least some minor pick back, but they tried to bargain too much and ATL just gambled on the Kings not matching a significant an offer sheet.
