1 I went back and checked my numbers and FYI edited into my post on Turner.
2 I understand your point, but I think you are missing mine in your response.
... You keep focusing on how Indy can have MAX cap room for a renegotiation. But, why the max???
... I'm not convinced that $37M starting salary is likely to be his market in the summer. Or even close to it. He's a center, who is a decent but not great rebounder, not a two-way wing who creates offense.
3 So when you show how Indy can give Turner 37M this season (his max this season) as part of a new deal, I am seriously wondering about their NEED to do that.
.... I'm not saying the answer is Never. But because I don't think he would get anywhere near $37M plus raises in the summer, I think there might be lots of other ways (besides having to pay him 37M this year) to skin the same cat of getting him a deal he would be worth.
.... Probably part of the analysis is answering what sort of number he might get as a FA. I'm thinking it's WAYYYYY more likely to start with a 2 than a 3.
