[F Gump]

1 Gump, that's Gafford money.
2 I guess I should ask: do you think Gafford is more valuable or of equivalent value to PJW? I sure don't, but you might.
3 If I'm PJW, I want to be paid as a starting 4, because that's what I am. You could convince me to come off the bench...if I'm being paid well.
4 This is why I assumed one of them would be gone, only...to me, it makes more sense to keep the guy with positional flex who helps in a variety of ways (and is just a better player, imo).

1 Nope. 
... 1a Gaff will be 16.67 yr 1. Or less.
... 1b Gaff got more than I wished he did. 
... 1c NBA economics had a seismic change (Jun 30) since Gaff deal was done.
2 I place PJW above Gaff, and my proposed numbers all say as much.
3 I assume PJW starts.
...3a In a Hard Cap World, if you have stars on a team, everyone who starts will not get huge money. For ones who play a big role incl starters but are not stars, it is an MLE-ish world. We're way at the upper end of "-ish." Overall, do the math and add it up, and you see. (See Myles who imo landed a bloated deal, which cannot happen if you want MANY good players w your stars.)
4  I prefer PJW to be a keeper (and Gaff as well) - but of course only if salary makes sense (like everyone else) in a HCW (which is inflexible and unforgiving). Every penny of all deals impact everyone now. PJW is no diff.
