Minny may have his Bird rights and be allowed to match a big offer, but they're in a bit of a pickle from a cap perspective considering they are trying to keep Love happy.


They're looking at $52m in contracts for next year before Pekovic (RFA), Budinger (RFA), Stiemsma (Team option), and Cunningham (Team option) are dealt with, assuming AK47 picks up his $10m player option.

If they go above the cap, they're pretty much standing pat with the current roster give-or-take a MLE offer to someone.


It's going to come down to keeping Pekovic now or worrying about how to put a team together with Love, Pekovic, and Rubio making about $50m combined in a few seasons.


Or, if it's low enough, they just re-sign him for the hell of it for the same exact reason the Pelicans resigned Gordon. You don't let assets walk away for nothing. You have to either give up assets + pay Pek or overpay Pek.

No way.


I'd take Jefferson at the right price, which is unlikely to happen considering the money guys like Deandre Jordan, Hibbert, Asik etc get.

Guys like Al Jeff and Pekovic are exponentially better than those guys. Unless Demps can work all this "magic" that I keep hearing about, then I don't want to overpay. Nothing over $10m give or take.

There are like 4 centers who average at least 16/9 and shoot 50%+ from the floor. Those guys are 2 of them

they'll possibly deal love, but if they want to win, they're going to have to pay this money to this level of players
