So what is the best case from here on out?
THJ + Kleber + Powell for Harris + Thybulle
Bamba for the TP-MLE
Dragic for the minimum
I guess Dragic is a lock now. It´s just whether it´s the TP-MLE or the minimum that will make a HUGE difference to our off-season.
Mo Bamba is going to become an UFA, which means Orlando values him at less than $10.8M. With Wagner + Isaac + Banchero + WCJ there is just no way it would be a good decision to stay in Orlando. I still have a hard time seeing him sign for the TP-MLE after what Robinson and Nurkic got, but there is always one guy in FA.
At that point MLE vs. TP-MLE doesn´t make a huge difference anyway. It´s about finding the right spot to set yourself up for success and future earnings. Still just 24 year old you sign any two year deal and get paid next time. In two years our cap situation should also be a bit more relaxed, especially if we pull off the Philly deal. *wink* Joe Smith *wink* Sidenote: Nurkic only getting paid 11M p.a. on his last deal and 17M p.a. now stinks to high heaven.
Doncic/Dinwiddie/Ntilikina
Bullock/Dragic/Hardy
DFS/Thybulle/Green
Wood/Harris/Bertans
Bamba/???/Bingham
That would be crazy.
IF Bamba + Dragic are secured I might even throw a lottery protected 1st at Philly to make that deal happen.
3pt shooting percentages of the projected starters last year
35.3
36.0
39.5
