Ben Simmons and KP are both free agents. Ben wants 4/$147mm (starts at $33mm). KP understands his injury history and is willing to take 3/$101mm (starts at $31.6mm), but he wants a PO that final year in case he happens to have a really good run the next two years.
Do you sign Simmons at 4/$147mm?
Do you sign KP at 3/$101mm?
If someone made you sign one of the other, which would you sign?
Ben Simmons, without thinking twice.
