Holmes re-signs
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
Given some of the crazy money handed out to players today, this Holmes deal is almost a bargain. Fair deal for everyone.
We could offer up to ~$46.5m over 4 years and anything over that would have to be some performance based incentives and/or trade kickers. So roughly $11.6m
Noel signed for 3 year $32m deal with the Knicks today which is roughly $10.67m.
Bottom line is that Holmes is a much better player than Noel and there only around $1m per season difference between the two (and Holmes is around for 4 years).
We can't complain about that! Very good, cap friendly deal.

Probably the agent, Pedro Power. Gotta flex by showing an inflated # even though he just got the exact deal he was getting all along. But Pedro Power got him a number $6-10 million over what everyone else was saying. We should all sign with Pedro Power.
I gave it a B because it's basically turning in your homework on time here and for this team to turn the corner RH is a backup.
But people spent much of the last year lamenting who we were going to have to trade for nothing so we could clear space, and now we are complaining about incentives and kickers he'll probably never get when even if he did it would pay out around 13.5-14 million per year. C'mon guys.

Now the question is how to move from buddy and bagley. We need to generate some depth at 3 and get some perimeter defense going. Super stoked the TT deal fell through. Id rather have Len and DW (who I really want to use the nickname Dark Wing for... As in "Jr Uh Oh" and "Dark Wing" made them have an "Off Night" !) than TT any day. It gives us tremendous leverage with TD who will likely resign as i think we can still offer the most for him (at least for 1 year QO), BUT we need to flip some of these guys for better wing defense and ideally a shot blocker (looking at myles turner)
Literally my only major problem with buddy is his willingness to be a team player. He is better off the bench, its better for the team and his numbers. In that second unit with Mitchell and Wright, he could be a killer and not be asked to play anything but passable defense. He likely would still be in the 5 player lineup that finishes the game (fox/hali/buddy/Barnes/holmes). Bagley has injury and attitude problems. He can be a star if he can stay on the court but that is the big issue for him. But he seems to think the reat of the team is holding him back (you know, not the 52%of the possible 247 games he's missed).
It's all about minutes and production with him though. Play him backup minutes and he puts up the coinciding productivity and what appears to be a good contract can become an albatross. And this franchise has learned that time and again. Some people were overjoyed at the deal JT signed, then proceeded to watch Vlade melt a 1st round pick with a magnifying glass to get him out the door.
