We'll be out on Fournier, Holmes, and Reggie Jackson at those numbers.
I'm not projecting anything.
I don't know what Holmes number will be, but like him at one number and not at the much bigger ones. However, what team will have a way and desire to pay him the numbers in the upper teens?
I don't know what Fournier's number will be, but Hollinger gave his projection, and I'm definitely interested if he's right. That's all I said. If he's not, then his attractiveness changes, and whether he is preferred becomes a comparative exercise to options like "So what does THJ cost? Or Powell?" and "What might Dragic cost after a buyout?" and "Derozan's price, might it be too attractive to pass up?" and etc.
I don't know what Batum's number will be, but the places he's linked with appear to only have taxpayer MLE money. Or less. I'd certainly offer more than that.
I don't know what Jackson's number will be, but if LAC pays him all they can pay, I agree that's a dead end ...but given the rest of their payroll and roster, it's fair to wonder if they are willing.
