Yeah, Giddey and Kuminga are not similar situations. Love them or hate them, they are still very much prospects and entered a market with no cap space. Kessler was a starting level player immediately and is still a valued archetype around the league. He had a large market through trade, and I expect he'll have a large market in RFA.
I'm glad you get it... I feel like I'm taking crazy pills at times explaining to people why this last FA period is not "the new NBA FA". The list of free agents is also really gross... letting a good young player get to RFA is the opposite of what a rebuilding team should do.

Maybe his ultimate ask would have been too high... we didn't bother to do the work. Honestly some pretty lazy ****.

I wonder if they will offer an final extension offer this week.

I see you, my dude. Come out of retirement - you’ll only need to do it like 18 times this year.

Deadline is Monday afternoon. So they need to have a weekend rendezvous
