I think the Bulls will hold their nose and match the contract. Still think the Jazz should kick the tires and see what happens.Who else we going to pay in the next 4 years? Walker is the only upcoming RFA we have to worry about. He's 22 coming off a career season. Seems like the kind of smart risk to take. I just dont think it's really realistic given teh Bulls will probably just match whatever we can come up with.
Im not smart enough to know all the rules regarding S&T's, but I would give up Collier/Sensabaugh to make it work.I think the Bulls will hold their nose and match the contract. Still think the Jazz should kick the tires and see what happens.
Yes, Collins was a good player, Gay was not. I enjoyed having Collins on the team.Getting off $6.5M of Gay to get on $78M of Collins?
The problem is is defensive suckitude….Yeah, from what I read the Bulls want him at or under 25 per, and Giddey wants the Suggs contract (like you said 30 per year).
I think I would be OK with paying him 30 per year. He had a 3.0 BPM with the Bulls, and I wouldn't call his teammates great. Averaged 20-10-10 in the last two months of the season (obviously the least impressive time to do that, but still impressive). Was also the only player on the Bulls to show up for the play in game.
Just think he's kind of a perfect fit given the lack of playmakers we have, and he's become a reliable wide open shooter. He just kind of makes everyone the roster make more sense together in a way not a lot of obtainable players can.
I think if the Jazz want him, they’d have to work out some sort of sign and trade deal with Chicago. Otherwise, I agree that the Bulls match. Not sure what they’d want back, but they’d almost certainly want to get back more than they gave up to get him.Im not smart enough to know all the rules regarding S&T's, but I would give up Collier/Sensabaugh to make it work.
We wanted Collins though... he wasn't a means to get out of Gay's money. It was 100% about getting Collins the player and not a salary move. We could have paid Gay and used like 20M+ in cap space that offseason. Might have even been at the floor.Yes, but we got to roll Gay,s salary into Collins instead of paying them both.
Just get them next year when whatever team pays them regrets it and is willing to attach an asset.Kuminga and Giddey are basically in the same boat as players/prospects. Think I’d prefer Giddey just because of the type of player he is. We are over indexed on prospects with low IQ and want to score.
No one is going to regret signing Giddey unless they make it to the PO and he isnt that kind of player, but he will put up great numbers in the regular season and contribute to winning.Just get them next year when whatever team pays them regrets it and is willing to attach an asset.
