It will be for at least the amount that favors got, and very well could be the max. If he is playing this well and still not in shape, and kind of tentative, imagine what a full strength big turkey can do.

I bet he commands at least the 4/52 that Hayward was asking for, and the jazz won't hesitate to pay it. Kid is a beast.

probably max
 
Max if he keeps 16.7 ppg 10'ish rebs?
Otherwise too much money for an inexperienced Turkey, methinks!
 
I'm gonna be really unpopular right now for saying this, but I think if Randle is BPA, then Lindsey is gonna take him and trade Kanter next year before we ended up having to pay MAX for him.

I have to respectfully disagree. Kanter's 21, completely raw, and coming off of a major injury - and is still putting up 17 and 10. He's going to be a monster. I don't think you trade that unless you get a sub-25 All-Pro in return.

If Randle's BPA, I'm not convinced it will be by a vast margin. But if so, I say draft him, assemble the most savage frontcourt of the decade, and let playing time, extensions, etc. work itself out.

I dunno.. unless you're the Durants, Wades, LeBrons, perennial All Stars in this league... it's a big commitment to MAX someone. And that's what you're gonna have to do to lock up Kanter. He definitely won't take Favors' money that's for sure.


In drafting Randle, you get the same talent IMO, albeit an inexperience one. But what you keep is cap flexibility and a financially prudent position.

Add in the fact that he's a first time starter.

He's going to be really, really good. He + Wiggins/Parker would be a legit 1-2 punch for a contender.
 
He's not a max player. None of or guys are max players. I hope by the end of the season we have one or two approaching that category but we sure don't right now.

you guys know that max money depends on the players accolades during their rookie contract, right?

Seems to be on track for huge growth though. He has looked god, despite coming off an injury setback.

Hayward thinks he's worth at or more than $12.5 million a year and Favors got just about that contract. The stats for this season are a ridiculously small sample size and are pretty simple but I think fairly accurately captures what's going on so far this season when players have been on the floor. Kanter is second in efficiency/production only to a statistically aberrational performance from Burks where he's The Man against the bench. Kanter is also the only player in the group that just missed a year of playing despite being the youngest by a large margin, having played the fewest minutes of The Four in the NBA (Hayward has played >TWO AND A HALF TIMES more minutes, Favors almost twice as many, and despite Burks being curiously benched for significant stretches of his first two seasons), and having incalculably less experience heading into the NBA than his peers. And he's doing this after an injury that prevented him from basically having a real offseason and he doesn't look quite right IMO.

So, he's definitely getting paid.
