Continuing the Athletic piece assigning values to current FA's (leaving out Ingram and the minimum wage guys):
$17.0mm Hayward (Boston would benefit with an opt-out and extension of $75mm over 4 years)
$13.7mm DeRozan (Unlike Hayward, there isn't any conversation about opting out and extending
Mid Level Guys
$10.9mm Joe Harris (Could get more given how many teams are looking for a shooter)
$10.8mm Marcus Morris (Clippers go something above the MLE to retain)
$10.5mm Crowder (20 teams will chase with the MLE, but none will offer more...good as a 5th starter)
$9.3mm Justin Holiday (Good at 3's, good at D's, really low usage. Should get close to MLE on a 1 or 2 year deal)
Below MLE
$6.7mm Josh Jackson (Worth a shot at someone's Room MLE)
$5.6mm Kent Bazemore
$5.5mm Moe Harkless (Clearly a rotation-caliber player in the prime of his career. The "3" in his 3&D hasn't always held up)
My thoughts. Hayward is in high demand. The path to Dallas might be an extend and trade which is limited to 3 years including the $34mm year already on the books. I think that may look something like $34/$20/$20. Boston obviously has to play along and they may have better options than a THJ/Maxi based deal (all Boston trades start with Maxi IMHO).
Justin Holiday at some/all of the MLE would be a nice short term investment on a one year basis. I could see Bazemore or Harkless on a short term deal as well at less dollars tan Holiday. Hollinger's process is stat based, not market based and the market needs multi-position bench defenders. DFS suddenly look like an incredible bargain.
