    I knew Nurkic was a RFA but didn't know if Vonleh was. Man he was young when he was drafted.

    Both of them are 22...they're not going to get max money but they'll probably get Allen Crabbe money...everybody in the NBA is getting a pay raise.

    Nurkic is definitely getting the max.

    I don't think so...he hasn't the resume to get a max deal yet...next time around yes but now he has to show a season of domination before he's in Lebron territory...he'd get the max on a lottery team if that's what he wanted.

    Man, The NBA is not going to be worth watching if "Good Players" want max contracts.
    I mean I get what you are saying, but this is getting ridiculous. Max Contracts should be left to the superstars and All Stars. Nurk may become an all star one day, but I doubt before he re-signs, and Vonleh doesnt have a chance. And I think they are part of our future, but max?

    Max????

    His max would be less than lebrons max. He's getting the max man. Watch Nerlens Noel's contract this summer. I wouldn't be surprised if someone gave him the max. Brooklyn for example. We just need to accept that contracts will rarely line up with a players real worth. Everyone is going to be overpaid. It is what it is.

    I meant hypothetically. I think if Nurk hits his ceiling then yes. Vonleh is probably a borderline starter no matter how hard he trains. But Nurk I can see getting paid.

    It all depends on what sort of year they both have. Fit Nurk and Noah with some added development and stroke. Yes please. With Vonleh I've always had the feeling that it's all mental with him, get over that hurdle and it's happy days!

    Noah will get between 10-12 million contract.

    Shouldn't we see how he performs this year before we make that determination? Or his his NBA book already written in your mind?

    I'm feeling somewhat optimistic that Noah has a bit of a breakout this season. It's time.

    If you can give ML 10 million than Vonleh will get that much too.

    In fairness, nobody else was offering ML 10M.

    It would have to have a real twist ending to be different from the one whose chapters we've already read. He would have to have a transformation that normally only happens when you've been visited by 4 different ghosts.

    As sure as one can be given the facts and circumstances. I certainly don't recall any reports of other teams showing interest in him at a comparable figure. The fact that he didn't agree to his deal with us until the end of the moratorium suggests pretty strongly that there weren't any other teams interested in giving him a similar deal.
