We do - you probably can't bring Graham back. I think he's going to command every bit of that cap space.

I could be wrong, but that's my guess.

We also have 5 centers on the roster currently. Don't have space for another Center body on the roster without moving one.

Let Graham walk if he wants anything over 8mil a year.. He is a backup PG.. If he can get more let him go.. Alot cheap FA point guards out there as well..

 

You have 1 C on the roster right now who has played NBA minutes.. Reality.. You're not going into the season like that.. Kai is spending most of his season in Greensboro.. I'm willing to bet on that.. 

Just my opinion they are bringing in another FA big and not depend on Nic and Vernon yet..

I hope we bring back Graham too.. $10m a year for 3-4 years sounds about right

John Hollinger is projecting 3 years for Graham at close to $19M!!

I don't think he will command that much. Absurd lol.

I do think he will be every bit of $13-14M per year for his next contract though. That would fill up the roster and eat up the rest of the cap space.

Want is one thing. I think teams will absolutely be willing to GIVE it to him.

I agree a little bit on where you're coming from with Devonte, but that type of player is extremely valuable in a 7 game playoff series. I guarantee that Phoenix would have much rather had Devonte over Cameron Payne and Milwaukee would have definitely rather had him than Jeff Teague.

I put value on the off court benefit Devonte provides too. Big culture boost for the team. I think $13-14M is fair for 3 years.

I disagree.. I know they like Graham but Mitch is to smart (I believe) to handcuff the team for a backup guard.. Miles is a priority now.. You can't give Graham that much money and hope to build a team around Lamelo... 

Team construction right now is very important now that you have a star .. Mitch can't screw this up going with a loyalty move and not a smart move...

Don't forget that Charlotte is projected to have over $20M coming off the books next off season.

Terry, the Martins and McDaniels all expire. They'll have the money to pay for Miles.

The year after that, Plumlee and Batum's stretch will roll off freeing up $16M. PJW is the extension candidate there.

After that would be Devonte's hypothetical extension and Hayward's contracts rolling off just in time for the LaMelo max.

The money is spaced out enough to where they can keep key guys even if they extend Graham for $13M this offseason.

A non lottery pick 1st round for a guy this year who was considered in the same spot... If the team sucks you lose nothing.. If the teams good you're really not wanting to add another young player anyway... At that point you're looking at adding a Fa to take you over the top...

Not that hard to understand...

Calm down man…jeez

Good point...But I'm still not paying a backup guard.. That's not good team building..

      Evero HC requests!

      By 45catfan · Posted

      They are obviously waiting on for someone o the Seahawks or Patriots staff.  If they wanted Evero, it would be a done deal already. The only silver lining is if the guy they are waiting for turns them down.  In that instance I do think Evero is their backup plan.

      Evero HC requests!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.
