Now I´d be hesitant to pay him the full MLE based on six good months on a horrible team.Ya, I get the hesitancy on Wood, I think MLE money isn't so bad a contract that we can't move it later if he isn't what we thought he is. I think he gets at least MLE money though and he is a good defender.
That Lonzo deal ain´t happening in a million years. Lonzo/Ingram/Zion. That´s their core.
OPJ is very available imho. Bulls will look for the financially most advantageous offer. Given that nobody in the world will absorb his full salary, I think the previously mentioned scenario with $12.5M cap relief for next season is realistic.
Yep, the David Aldridge report is the only reason I'm putting that out there. I do wonder what other teams would pay for him. I don't think he's gonna reach the hype he got when coming out, but I also think he'll improve going forward (as shown with the improved 3% this year).
Stop getting me all excited about OPJ, I'm gonna be so let down when he goes to another team for peanuts.
