Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Yeah, it's amazing how quickly this board turned on PJ after one subpar season.  His contact is very tradeable if they want to move him.  Lots of teams would love to have a versatile wing oof his size and talent.

I am not sure his contract really is that great in the apron world. I would clame his contract is on an upper side based on his age and projected role on a contender. Not overpaid, but also not great. PJ is a good player, but not more than a 4th starter on a contender. His contract is almost 90 mil for four years, that is roughly 22 mil per. Here are some similar players (all of them could also be 4th or 5th best players on a contender) and their contracts they signed this summer:
- Hachimura: 28 mil for two years (only first guaranteed)
- Eason: 81.5 mil for 5 years (16 mil per)
- Collins: 51 mil for three years (17 per), only first year guaranteed
- Champagnie: 45 mil for three years (15 per)
- Wiggins: new 33 mil for two years on top of existing PO (16.5 per for the new deal)
- Dosunmu: 112 mil for 5 years (22 per)
- McCollum: 21 mil, 1 year only

Some other borderline starters: Wade (13 per), Grimes (15 per), KP (20 per, only 2 years), Mark Williams (13 per)

These are the only contracts so far that have higher per value:
- Kessler
- Reaves
- Norman Powell (22.5 per, only 2 year deal)
- Hartenstein (25 mil per, 3 years)
- White (25 mil per, 3 years)
- Dosunmnu (22 per)
