Which non Blazers door are we at when free agency starts? What’s your guess as to who we are eyeballing?
I like Jalen Smith as well. All the talent is there if he can just put it together. Seems like the high upside type swing that Cronin likes.
One of Bamba, Hartenstein or Smith. Probably expensive in that order as well. Bamba...MLE? Hartenstein, TPMLE, and Smith might be BAE or less?
Hartenstein seems to be getting a lot of attention. I'll be surprised if he doesn't get significantly more than the TPMLE.
TB I'd be surprised of Smith went for the BAE, I think he's closer to the full MLE, was really playing well after the trade to Indy, he's my fave big target
He may.....just going off of some of the production/projected salary estimates. Then again, those same estimates have Ingles making more than Ant.....which won't happen. I think Smith has quite a bit of untapped potential and was just starting to show it when he got some run in IND at the end of last season. 13.4/7.6 with a block in just under 25 mpg. Also shot .373 from '3' in those 22 games. Not a huge sample size and certainly better than anything else he had ever produced, but it's an encouraging sign.
