Any offer for THT (which will be matchable) will be limited by, and complicated by, the Arenas Rule. That lowers the offer possibilities to a starting cap hit in about the $18-19M range (but no higher).
Not that I think he will get offered even that much (or is worth that much), however - THT's a DFS type guy (only with Lakers' hype), and DFS got $4M a year at a similar juncture in his career.
