As to your question, I gotta say I would dislike giving up on Frankie at this juncture. He’s cheap. He seems like a good dude. Why not hang onto that investment another year?
Joe Ingles as a backup here? I guess he’d have to sign for the taxpayer’s MLE, which is about $5 million, right? (That or a vet min contract is all we can offer free agents this summer.) If he’d take that money, and if he’s close to his former self, he immediately shores up our big rotation and our playmaking issues. Great signing! But why would he take that kind of pay cut if healthy? That’s less than half of this year’s contract.
Well, technically you're right....
My idea was more of an illustration that if we can get busy in FA, we can upgrade some of our rotation - even if means sending our sack of nothing for their bag of dead air. My guess though is that we end up sending a package that includes one or two salary-fillers along with TH. In return, we get better rotation players.
