The fact that Clarkson has the shortest shorts in the league increases his value to us by at least a million.
That is a part of our heritage!!!

Royce just got $9 per year (4 years $36 million)
Exum got $9.6 per year plus incentives
Lou Williams makes $8 per year
Marcus Smart got around $12.5 per year
Dinwiddie makes around $11 per year
His last contract, from the Lakers...., was $12.5 per year (4 years $50 million).
I think if we gave him a contract making about $12-12.5 per year, it would be fair for both him and us. He is 27 squarely in his prime. Something like...
4 years $48 million all guaranteed
3 years $40 million
4 years $50 million (4th year team option)
It would be interesting to know who we would be competing against for his services. Where else does he fit and play this much? It's a weak free agency year so he could cost more than usual.

Something at the same range of his actual contract seems fair to me, and would'nt prevent us from look for a true sized shooting pf with our full mle (speaking in terms of not going to tax penalty before maxing out mitchell and gobert, as repeater tax is really much more maligned than luxury tax)

I don't know the details about his contract but does he become a restricted or unrestricted free agent after the season?
He'll probably ask what Bojan is making.

Very good question. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryant...summer-of-salary-cap-exceptions/#c73143bf0ee4
Five teams projected to have cap space this summer:
Atlanta: 49.21M
New York: 38.76M
Detroit: 34.86M
Miami: 26.50M
Charlotte: 22.81M
Those are the only 5 teams in the entire league who can give more than $9.75 million. Miami will not want to tie up 2021 money because they want target a max guy.
So, would Clarkson want to sign for Atlanta, New York, Detroit or Charlotte over coming back to what seems to be a good fit? I think we could try to sign Clarkson to $11 maybe $12 per year over 4 years and guarantee it all. That's likely more than he would get in the free agent market unless he wants to go to a trash team for a little more money.

I don’t know that any of those teams would sign him to more than MLE money. Most would have other needs and want a slightly younger player.
I think JC has played himself around the MLE market so 4/43... I’d try and get him at 4/40 and with likely incentives give him another 3-5M. Games played and **** like that.
I don’t think his market gets super frothy. We should keep him at any reasonable cost. It’d be nice to get something done now and get a small discount... can focus our free agent attention elsewhere.
