ETA: I see what you're saying now, it would take way too much damn time to go through every team and attempt to determine which rookie scale players are actually higher than 8th in the rotation

Yea, I don't think just going through and sorting a team's payroll and looking at the 8th highest guy is the right way to do it.

But I agree, I'm at a water park today, and definitely won't be going through and sorting lol.

My main argument is, you're looking at, at worst, an average NBA player. And that's fine for the 8th dude in your rotation. But if you want to keep an, at worst, average player who is an RFA, you have exactly zero chance to do so at $3.5 million. If you want to keep that person, you should expect somewhere hear league average salary. So around $8mil. If you feel he's not worth that, and we have dudes to replace him and that's a bit high, that's fine. I'd probably disagree but we're probably not that far off .

If you feel he's worth a max of $3.5 million, hey this is all opinion and no one is right or wrong, I'd just think you'll have very few who agree, and I'd also bet there would be 30 GMs who would be fighting over getting him at that price. And the Pels would have the last laugh with ultimate control of where he lands.
