Gimme Hartenstein already.
Is he on a summer league team or just sitting out there in free agency? He declined his 1.8 MIL from Cleveland to be a free agent. Isn't that more than the minimum he will get now? Seems he could make more money going overseas. I like Hartenstein though. We could use another big.

Yeah, I doubt he could get more in Europe though. Average salary is around 500K there. Maybe China, I’m not as familiar with their wages.

China is no more, they don't allow foreigners this year.

Maybe Hartenstein could find 1M net pay in Europe but i think he wants to stay in the league.

it was 1.7M which is probably a little less than the scale for a 3 year veteran.

he's gambling that some team will sign him for the minimum, and obviously, he wanted out of Cleveland

He's a talented bigman. Make's me wonder why he hasn't signed somewhere.
 
It probably did get slightly better.

With some health luck, a different offensive and defensive scheme with people buying into it…….who knows?

We aren’t a true contender, but maybe enough to win a series?

I still wish they would have traded Dame this year to start the inevitable rebuild
Teams can be in a rebuild mode forever. You milk it as long as you can with a generational talent. It's moronic to be in a hurry to get real bad quick. Too many people go into "give up" mode. Enjoy Dame while you can.

Milk what, purgatory?

Teams under the luxury tax the end of this season will each receive $13 Million each, the highest ever. I bet this factors into how so close we are to the luxury tax. If we can get out of the tax at the trade deadline it would put a hefty chunk of change in Jody's pocket.
That's maybe the revenue from 2 home playoff games in later rounds. If she lets 13 mil come in the way of signing someone or trading for someone of significance, I will pack Dame's bags for him. We better be in the tax this year-- it was essentially sold like it was going to be after desperately climbing out of it last year.

^ Josh Hart is BPA in terms of free agents left. I wouldn't be mad at that for the full TPMLE. But I think NO would just match.

they'd match for sure

I'm thinking Portland wants a 3rd vet minimum deal, and either save or not use the TPMLE. I'd be pretty sure they'd take Millsap for a minimum deal. I'd guess they have already offered it. But Millsap wants more and nobody is offering more

I'd be surprised if we haven't already offered something like a 2-year/10M contract with the second year as a TO. The 5 million a year allows us to sign Greg Brown using part of the MLE to a 3-4 year deal. The TO absolves us of his contract next year in case things go south. I suspect that's why Greg Brown hasn't signed his contract yet.

But I think Millsap is waiting to see if any contenders would give him that same contract. There are still contenders with a majority of the TPMLE/MLE still available. He was reportedly interested in Golden State before.

GS already has: Draymond/Wiseman/Kuminga/Looney/Bjelica in their bigman rotation.

Even Porter/Iggy can swing to PF.

Highly doubt they would take on any more contracts even at the minimum given their already ridiculous tax bill.

I'm not saying GS would want him. I'm just saying he'd rather go to a true contender. GS is not the only team with part of the MLE left. He has no reason to be in a rush to commit.

Also doubt the veracity of his interest. I would think he still wants a role where he can get 15-20 mpg. Those minutes just aren't there in GS. I read earlier he was interested in returning to ATL-- I believe that more.

That makes sense as well. ATL was in the ECF last year. Plus Millsap is in ATL at the moment. Maybe he lives there during the off-season.
 
Bring back Ed, I would think Chauncey would want at least some toughness on the Roster, great bench/locker room guy and a friend of Dames.
 
Svi is my choice

Instant offense off the bench.

Minnesota will lock up Jarred.
 
Dame in FIBA this year: 11.2 pts, 3.2 asts, 2.7 rebs in 24 mpg on 38% FG, 35% from 3.

Exum in FIBA this year: 9.0 pts, 2.8 asts, 3.7 rebs in 21 mpg on 57% FG, 60% from 3.

I would take a flyer on Exum for the minimum.
If CJ is traded for a forward that isn't Simmons then I like Exum because he can run the point but... right now I'd much rather have a big 4 that can play the 5. Also comparing those stats is preposterous.
