he's playin so damn well that he may get a significant offer as an RFA, possibly pricing him out of our price range
If the Blazers were really serious about having a solid pg rotation they'd bring back Nate and Steve Blake.
Let's not get carried away yet. 8.5 PTS 50.0% FG 41.6% 3FG 75% FT 5.2 AST 2.0 TO is right about a 3.28 MIL player which is his QO. It certainly isn't over a MLE-player at this point. This isn't to say I don't think he is valuable. In fact I say he is more valuable to us then anyone else.
This is pretty much what I posted in another thread. He's driving the price up, and I think the guy could probably start for at least a third of the teams in the league. He's an RFA (if we choose to tender him an offer), so he's ours to lose. If we decide to keep him at almost any price, we might be stuck with Hickson because he's the only one we'll be able to go over the cap to sign.
think about a team like Utah, likely desperate for a PG next yr, Maynor is only 25 and actually they drafted him
I think he would get around 4 million. It's a good contract. I think maynor should get it if he keeps this up.
revenge of Utah? it was because of our offer for Milsap that they gave Maynor away to OKC for cap savings
He may get more than that if he keeps improving. PG is one of the hardest positions to fill in the NBA.

This isn't something new for Maynor guys. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/maynoer01.html Check his per 36's. He has always been this player he is just getting more minutes here. So if you are really worried about it then you just cut back his minutes a bit.
or? we've seen enough, we limit his minutes cause we want him, go for the 12th pick as well and don't drive up his value anymore. I know that won't happen but I can wish.
I was thinking the same thing. Except for the stuck with Hickson part. I think if Maynor's expected price goes up to a certain point, we may have to make the offer to Hickson, killing the rest of our cap space, to be able to sign and trade him. Even if we didn't trade him this summer, we could still trade him next year. No worries. Olshey's got this.
