Just looking at the end of the bench guys. Total minutes played:
Frank 125
Green 121
Burke 37
Chriss 30
Brown 26
Boban 6
Right, all that tracks. Ntilikina played ahead of all those guys. Last year.
This year, he's not under contract. The team will be a tax payer for the first time in over a decade. You're assuming players with guaranteed money (on which tax will be paid, whether they're here or not) will be waived so that Ntilikina's new salary (along with the MLE and #26 salaries) can be added.
Even if you're right and they want to do that, do you think they will?
EDIT: sorry, I misread Kamm's roster sheet. Ntilikina IS under contract, just not guaranteed. My mistake. That changes things pretty significantly, but I'd still posit that he's in some danger here.
