And when Dallas makes it clear they are willing to work on SNT for him I think he's going to have quite a few names after him.
I think we consistently undervalue our own free agents. Same thing happened for Barnes and I was one of the ones saying that Barnes was going to get paid again. And teams are still fine with that contract. Gosh he's so mediocre haha. Great dude tho...
To be clear tho I normally wouldn't think THJ is a 20 mill guy in most markets. I don't think Collins is a for sure max guy in most markets but he's definitely getting maxed this summer.
Edit: I also would not be surprised to see Dallas offer him a deal over 20 mill to keep him for one extra year but not have to commit to him long term. That may even be the most likely thing.
Of course if they can sign both THJ and Richardson to sub 15 mill long term contracts, I think they do both of those. That's just a solid trade asset at that point.
So perhaps I should amend my original thoughts and suggest that I don't see them both here at the end of next season. Like very very little chance of that IMO.
Okay well holler back at me when THJ gets this 20 mil/yr contract in a few months. I would not include Dallas giving him a 1 yr 20 mil deal as nuts seeing as how they have his bird rights.
You would have to tell me if he doesn't sign with Dallas who these teams are that are going to pay 29 yr old THJ 20 mil/yr. I don't see it. He is a shooter and sort of in btwn a starter and 6th man so he has some value but not 20 mil/yr.
