GS already has: Draymond/Wiseman/Kuminga/Looney/Bjelica in their bigman rotation. Even Porter/Iggy can swing to PF. Highly doubt they would take on any more contracts even at the minimum given their already ridiculous tax bill.
I'm not saying GS would want him. I'm just saying he'd rather go to a true contender. GS is not the only team with part of the MLE left. He has no reason to be in a rush to commit.
Also doubt the veracity of his interest. I would think he still wants a role where he can get 15-20 mpg. Those minutes just aren't there in GS. I read earlier he was interested in returning to ATL-- I believe that more.
That makes sense as well. ATL was in the ECF last year. Plus Millsap is in ATL at the moment. Maybe he lives there during the off-season.
Bring back Ed, I would think Chauncey would want at least some toughness on the Roster, great bench/locker room guy and a friend of Dames.
Dame in FIBA this year: 11.2 pts, 3.2 asts, 2.7 rebs in 24 mpg on 38% FG, 35% from 3. Exum in FIBA this year: 9.0 pts, 2.8 asts, 3.7 rebs in 21 mpg on 57% FG, 60% from 3. I would take a flyer on Exum for the minimum.
If CJ is traded for a forward that isn't Simmons then I like Exum because he can run the point but... right now I'd much rather have a big 4 that can play the 5. Also comparing those stats is preposterous.
https://www.nba.com/blazers/story/2021/8/12/trail-blazers-sign-greg-brown-iii Looks like we signed Greg Brown. Interested in the contract details.
i'm not comparing Dame to Exum. I was simply trying to show that Exum can play still and is finally healthy.
I'm sure it was for the rookie min but I'm also interested in the length... which I'm sure is what you're talking about. I hope it's like Gary's deal was and not like Elleby's. I like his potential a lot. His athleticism is out of this world, he can put the ball on the floor, his shot looks nice and has good length for a forward who can probably play the 3 or 4.
Yeah, he looked good and if we were going to add another guard, I think you're right that he'd be a good one to get.
Spotrac already has Brown at 925k for the year. If it's that value, most likely it's a rookie minimum and for 2 yrs. If his number starts any higher, then we used part of the MLE, but most likely for a 3 yr deal.
Spotrac does not know the details yet. Need to wait for one of their sources to find the information. I doubt we'll know until later today at the earliest.
Does Hoop Central have them all coming to us? That being said, i would love to add Josh Hart, and Markkanen.
How the fuck do you offer Meyers freaking Leonard $60M ? $40M is already way to much but $60M?? Dude is not even a minimum player
The other factor is if we can avoid the tax this season, it completely re-sets the repeater tax threat. If we're in the tax this season - then next season we get hammered with the repeater penalties as well.
We REALLY need a legitimate backup PG. Exum really isn't a 'true' PG - but he's probably better than anyone else on the market.
