Yes BKN is doing a complete rebuild (yes I misread that as NY, oops) and can spend wildly in a way no one else can.
But Mathurin isn't a FA this summer of any kind. The Pacers' only FA of any concern is Turner and he wants to stay. I'm not sure he even makes it to free agency.
SIDE NOTE: Kuminga? Should only be a matter of money for BKN, although who knows if BKN would want him. But no SNT - I see no chance GS makes him a RFA in a play to keep him (he's worn out his welcome in GS and his $23M QO is far bigger than his value and not worth the risk of putting on the table unless you want him).
