I'd let the market dictate his value but if I'm his agent, McGee's deal is my starting point.Exactly and I don’t know that there is even 1 team that wants to pay a 32 yo backup C any more than vet min, let alone the full MLE. Say what you guys will about counting stats, but teams pay for them and consequently don’t pay for the lack of them.

Maybe with Kyrie we will start to attract quality vet min guys, but it has never been the norm.Name the teams that are paying Dwight Powell more than vet min this offseason.
Powell currently has the highest net rating on the team. There is a lot of noise in that, but his production has been well over vet min. You can make a strong argument that it's not MLE level, especially since he is a big and they are cheap, but he is significantly more than your typical vet min.
