[F Gump]

Would anyone be looking to extend Hardy or Grimes if they came in at reasonable numbers? Especially with Exum out. They are both restricted FA if I’m not mistaken. They will both be in the sweet spot of contacts that are valuable to collect for trade matching purposes. I think I would do 3yr-27m for Jaden and give him a full-time role. Grimes for Josh Green money? That’s a tougher call for me with him coming off an injury and traded twice in one year. 

I haven’t really looked at cap situations for free agency next summer, but I could see Hardy and/or Grimes getting some interest. Just curious what people think.

"Reasonable money" means different things to different people. But I have no interest in either at the numbers you propose. I think the odds are high that neither gets offers like that next summer -- I really think both have a lot to prove, frankly, and I'm not interested at much more than current salary for either based on what I have seen so far.

I'm perfectly happy waiting to see what they show, and taking my chances I can still re-sign them if I want to using RFA control, to a smaller deal than those. Maybe MUCH smaller.
