Now we would need a new poll on what price is right.
Some numbers to consider:
* Howard made
$22,359,364 this past year.
* Howard is a 10+ year vet, that qualifies him for a max contract of approximately
$30,189,800 (assuming the CAP will be around $92M).
-- To get Howard at that price, we would have to let Kaman, Henderson, and Leonard go.
* The max contract for a 7-9 year vet will be approximately
$25,876,971.
-- To get Howard at that price, we would have to let Kaman, Henderson, and Roberts go. We could retain the rights to Leonard.
-- Guys like Durrant and Horford will be going for this price.
* The max contract for a 0-6 year vet will be approximately
$21,564,143.
-- To get Howard at that price, we would have to let Kaman and Henderson go. We could retain the rights to Leonard and Roberts.
-- Whiteside is a 4 year vet, and will most likely be getting an offer at this range.
There's not a lot of quality unrestricted FA Bigs on the market this summer.
