Yes they match.

I think they’re perfectly happy with their lowball offer hoping he takes it, but the moment the market sets the price they match it - just like the Jazz did with Hayward and Charlotte. The big backfire was it allowed someone else to set the terms and the Jazz lost at least a year of his service because he had that player option.

I think there is a real chance one of these guys takes the qualifying offer. Right now teams could really dig in and say like 4/70M-80M and its better than anything available to them.

Not a surprise, but that payroll is going to get out of control real fast. I wonder if there might be an opportunity to get one of their “big three” here when it becomes unsustainable.
