    I thought we wanted to wait first and get everything else done because he have his rights and can go over the top for him?

    So 1.9 mil to make sure we can match? Good decision IMO.

    From NBA CBA FAQ:

    In order to make their free agent a restricted free agent, a team must submit a qualifying offer to the player between the day following the last game of the NBA Finals and June 29.

    You have to extend a qualifying offer do do that:

    The Blazers will need to make a decision on restricted free agent Jake Layman before that date. If they offer him the $1.9 million qualifying offer, he’ll become a restricted free agent. Other teams can sign him to an offer sheet once free agency begins, but the Blazers would have the right to match the offer. If the Blazers don’t give Layman the qualifying offer, he’d become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, which means he could sign with any team, including the Blazers, but Portland wouldn’t have the right to match a contract offer from another team.

    Counting Little, this will give the Blazers 12 players. 3 spots open for tMLE and vet min signings.

    This makes sense, but it begs the question: what is the highest salary you match to keep Mr Slayman?

    Yup, there is basically no reason not to unless they wouldn't want him on the team for the QO amount of $1.9 million. My guess is they'd be happy with him taking that.

    5M a year would be my ceiling. But he may be offered more.

    For me, this completely depends on whether or not we open up the Full-MLE. I'm in the camp that I think it would be a mistake to let Layman walk so I'll give my answer two different ways.

    Hard Cap - We would be stuck with a max salary we'd be able to be pay Layman which would probably be somewhere between his QO and around $3 million unless there was a huge salary dump trade.

    Non Hard Cap - I'd probably be okay with up to about $5 million but could probably be talked into going as high as $7 million on a shorter term contract.

    After the big names are signed, there will be teams with money to spend.

    I hope we keep Jake around on a reasonable deal...he's got skills and seems to fit pretty well

    He seemed close to really contributing last year. I would like to see him for one more year, if the price is reasonable. If he can't beat out Harkless/Bazemore/Little/Trent for playing time then let him go as a FA next year.

    Yes, more like a Woj-ladyfinger. Or one of those little snapper things you throw on the ground.
