You really think someone will give him 2/50-60m this summer?

No. Bojan got 4/$73 and he is better than Bogdan.

Bojan got 4/73 in a talent rich FA class where he was MAYBE top 20 talent

You can't look at what other players got, you have to look at money available and the talent available..

Now, Boban wont get the 4 years Bojan got, but he will get paid high for 1-2 years just so teams have that cap space spent

Agreed. Was thinking more in the “solid starter” range which is 15/yr and up. So more of a 4/65 kind of deal, but I’ve been wrong before. We’ll just have to bookmark this and revisit it in the offseason

After watching Portland make a cost saving trade, I wonder if they would be open to some construction of Darius Miller for Trevor Ariza. This would bring them another $5m closer to ducking the tax.

Portland wouldn't even have Ariza's $1.8M obligation next year. The Pels pick themselves up vet depth and a larger potential salary slot they can use next year for more trades. Seems about as win win as you can get.

adds wing depth, kicks the miller salary can down the road

There's alot of money available (something like 12-13 teams with over 30 million in cap space) in a VERY weak FA market..

Which is why a lot of teams will not sign long term deals and look forward to the 2021 free agency which is supposed to be much better.

Would be a solid addition. I mentioned him as a possibility in a trade with Kings, but forgot about it once he got traded. However, he can still be traded one for one (just not aggregated). He fits what we could use on the bench.

Which is why I've saying the ENTIRE time that he will get 25+, but it will be on a 1-2 year deal

Jesus christ, pay fricking attention guys

He won't get $50 million over 2 years. That is a massive overpay. I cannot imagine teams are lining up to blow $25 million a year on him. I believe he will be restricted, so it would take an overpay, but that seems like an extreme overpay.

With so much money available 2 years 50-60 million with the 2nd year being a team option is not insane..

It does 2 things for a team

1)They use their cap space on what could be an asset they can flip at the trade deadline for draft pick(s) and take back a bad contract from a contender, or if they are buying they can flip him with draft picks and take back a max guy.

2) It essentially gives them a tryout to see if the guy fits with their team (a great idea for someone like Atlanta), and if he fits great they have him signed for another year, and it gives them his early bird rights

It's essentially what we did with Miller this season

In other news, Pelicans have "pulled back" on trade talks and want to make a serious playoff push per WOJ

What does that mean, “pulled back”?
So we aren’t looking to add anyone?

Just watched the clip, it sounds like they are not looking to move anyone according to Woj.

It sounds like teams have been calling about Jrue and JJ, but we are not listening to anything involving them until 6-7 games to see how everyone plays with Zion

Heres the clip LINK

Probably means they like the roster as is and they aren’t looking to trade anyone in the rotation right now. Griffin’s been pretty consistent with that.

This argument is might be practical in theory but is unrealistic in practice. No team is going to overpay one player by that much just to fill out the cap and defer their space to a better FA year. The Knicks did the closest thing that you are talking about and still only gave Randle 3/63. NBAPA, as just one example, is not going to allow a team to pay a player like Bogdon 28m, rather than spread it around on a few players.

I understand what you’re saying and your reasoning, it makes perfect sense, but it’s not going to happen.

The players association can't tell a team how to spend their money..

With Trae getting upset in Atlanta, they will overpay Drummond and someone like Bogdan to try to appease him

And the Randle deal happened in an offseason with a great fa class and it happened after pretty much all the money dried up

Put Randle in this offseason where he is probably the best available guy that a team could bring in, and he would likely get a full max or close to it

That's a pretty big difference. He may not take a 2nd year team option in that scenario. That puts all the risk on him and pushes the decision into a free agency period that should be loaded. He would want control, not the team (or at least a partial guarantee). That is effectively a 1 year/$25 deal.
