Here's a quote:
"It will be an absolutely brutal market for players who want to make more than $10 million...While a few other franchises could clear functional space if desired, only seven look like they will use cap space this summer: the Hawks, Knicks, Pistons, Heat, Suns, Hornets and Trail Blazers, a group that could easily shrink if Phoenix chooses to retain Dario Saric or Portland keeps Trevor Ariza’s $12.8 million."
He goes on to talk about how most bigger name UFA's will likely move by trade (but you have to make it worth the other teams while to do a deal). He thinks RFA's other than Ingram will have a hard time leveraging outside offers. Our pick could come in handy here.
One other note...Derrick Jones Jr. is UFA this summer and Miami is hoarding 2021 cap space. If you like what MKG does the next few months, DJJ is a younger, better 3 point shooting version. Can you get him for the full MLE?
OK, one other...one other note...In a recent podcast Followell said Dallas LOVES Richaun Holmes. He's not free this summer, but he's UFA in 2021. Sacramento could see him walk for nothing. With a ton of PF's already on the roster, would they take our pick and some salary for Holmes this summer. If you like what WCS does the next few months, you will love what Holmes does. He's a better rebounding better defending version of what Powell used to do
