2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

[mvossman]

I look at things differently.  He may not even be on this team when he hits 18mill per.  He's 16.5 mill year 1, 17 mill year 2 and doesn't get to 18 mill until year 3.  

The 16 figure is what matters to me, because that is what determines what we can resign this year.  Therest of the time, we'll be over the cap anyway.

We are probably operating over the cap this year, so that fist number does not matter.  In fact it makes more sense for the contract to be descending so that he has a chance of becoming an asset.
