Well, get ready for some surprising numbers as Hollinger continues his series placing values on the current crop of FA's. Today is the PF position. Forget AD (worth $43mm). He's staying in LA. Forget Batum and OPJ as they are not rated because they will likely pick up their PO. Still, there are 10 players with ratings above the MLE:
$19.1mm Gallinari (Team to watch is Phoenix. Very good player, but OKC may rebuild...and the other teams with Room all suck)
$19.0mm Bertans (May go cheaper if he stays...see above...as Washington will have big LT issues a year from now on Beal extension)
$14.2mm Millsap (Bad playoffs, but great regular season. Probably goes somewhere for a 1 + 1 MLE deal)
$13.9mm DJJ (Wow. Probably gets the MLE, but Super finisher and great zone defender at 23. Small cap hold, Miami could do big 1 year)
MLE Level
$11.9mm Parker (Yes, Jabari. 27 pp100 on .57 TS%. Small ball 5 who is only 25)
$11.8mm RHJ (4 position defender who is a good passer. Can't shoot 3's, but like DJJ is a plus defender. Probably gets 1/2 MLE)
Less than MLE
$7.9mm Saric (Suns may pull the ®. Best role is secondary ball handler. Suns got better when he was removed from starters)
$7.5mm Grant (Yes, Jerami. Most overrated in FA crop. Denver massively better when he sat. MLE isn't massive overpay, but more would be)
$5.3mm Hernangomez (25, Career 35.9% from 3 and a good rebounder)
Boucher, K. Williams, J. Green, Melo, J. Green, Caboclo, Bender and Kaminsky are in the $3-$5mm. He has MKG for the minimum.
Some national writers have suggested DJJ for Dallas. He was probably a target in the deal that fell apart that sent Butler to Miami. He is super young for a UFA and having one of him or DFS on the court at all times would help team D. By Hollinger's numbers he'd be a better use of the MLE than Grant. One issue would be playing him and Powell at the same time. One space killer who is good at cuts, rolls and dives is OK. Two won't work.
On the agent front, Saric and RHJ are both Excel guys.
