- If Richaun Holmes can’t find a payday from Toronto — a likely outcome if the Raptors take Dragic in a sign-and-trade — he may end up squeezed in this market. That could see him returning to Sacramento on an “Early Bird” deal for $11 million; such a deal could end up being a two-year deal with a player option that would let him test the market again next year.
Is that one of those "wink-wink" two year deals?

He must really want to stay in Sac if 60 million “might” be enough to sign elsewhere. I still think Richaun has untapped potential and I love his pairing with Queta so bring him home
I'd be fine with a 1+1 deal and does make a ton of sense from Holmes side too. Gets another year to show he's a stud and unlocks full-bird rights with the Kings for a bigger extension while still having the option of hitting UFA in his prime.
"Free Agency talks can start at 6"
Ah yes, the time-honored tradition where the NBA does like 1 billion dollars worth of contracts in roughly 5 minutes without ever talking to each other beforehand. Of course, of course.

Remember the Mozgov signing 1 minute in?

It has to be a 2 year deal minimum.

I know it's kind of a meme, but I actually do think Lonzo and Melo would work incredibly well together in the back-court. Lonzo defends the best guard and with his new shot, there really isn't spacing concerns either. That's a TON of playmaking/rebounding from your guard slots.
I also really don't understand why the Pelicans are so against just keeping Lonzo as apart of their core. Lonzo-Ingram-Zion is really really good. Just figure out the other 2 slots.

That way only one team has to put up with Lavar Ball.

2 Balls are better than 1?

They’ve got all three!
Not sure why if there is no market for Holmes (and interesting that now the early bird is 11 million, after all the Kings can't pay more than xxxx) we have to do "sweetheart deals". Seems like a 3 year deal at the full EB is a good bet for all involved.
That’s been the obvious basis for a deal for some time now. A matter of what else is involved because the Harris contract is huuuuuge

that would probably be the most complete team we have had in the last 15+ years. Not saying much but still

Buddy and Bagley for Harris Salary works - do it just for Balance Monty
But HoopsAnalysisNet not a credible source

holmes better be getting 16 reb a night with that lineup.
if i had to guess maybe we send bagley as well to match contracts? maybe we get a pick out of the deal

This is basically the “early bird” we’ve all been expecting right? Approximately 4/$47-50 mil
