By the end of year two we’ll be thinking $11/yr for Exum is a bargain.
There won't be any.
You have been around here a while right... we whine about everything.
Ya, but I'm not a big Exum believer, and I don't mind this deal. Unless there's someone here who simply wants Exum gone, I don't think anyone will be too unhappy with the deal. Pretty much mid-level contract.
Well if MVP isnt mad at the deal, I dont think anyone can be.A bit overpaid on potential alone but not by much. If 3 d year is a team option than it is even better.
This definitely signifies they are pretty much done in free agency outside of minimum type deals. I dont expect them to use the full MLE and dip into the tax.
I'd expect at least one of Jonas or Udoh to be waived an Utah to sign Niang, Bjelica, or some guy who isnt in the NBA (like Royce last year).
I still think the guy waived is Jonas.I think Bjelica gets more than what we will offer... I basically said the same thing. Depending on the structure of Exum's deal we can waive Jonas and Udoh sign a minimum guy and be about 6-8M from the tax.
That number includes Favs at his full 18M... so maybe only 16M counts for tax purposes? Not sure there.
Unless we get Bjelica on a multi year deal around 3/16-17 I think we waive Udoh and sign a minimum guy.
