2020-2021 AROUND the NBA: Archived

My take on free agency: 

1) If you can get a max player (who IS a max player) to sign, AWESOME. 

2) If you can get a STEAL on a player at any level (like Burke this year, for example), GREAT! 99% of the time, those "value" signings are going to be on a very small scale...Burke, DFS, Iwundu, etc. 

3) If you're a contender (a true contender) you can probably turn your MLE into at least one very helpful piece, though not always a starter. 

Anything other than the above is almost always going to be a mistake, imo. For that reason, as the field of targets I would feel comfortable offering the MAX next summer shrinks, my interest in translating those expiring contracts into the best possible targets at the trade deadline increases.

We are lock and step on this. Totally agree.
