I'm on the opposite side of the fence. I disagree with a lot of what he says:
1. I hate the idea of extending Bagley for 4yr/$60M. I'd rather lose him for nothing than overpay him. Maybe if he wasn't a walking injury waiting to happen or showed consistent improvement last year, but at this point I don't know why they extend him.
2. I think he's underrating how much Holmes might get offered on the open market and misjudging that Holmes wants to stay in order to get paid. I think keeping in Sacramento will require him to accept less than he's being offered elsewhere.
3. I think he's highly overvaluing our tradeable players. Would the Pacers give Warren and Lamb for Buddy? I don't think so. Brooks, who was the second best player on the Grizzlies during the play-in and playoffs, for Bagley? Why would Memphis do that? The trade scenarios seem very unlikely to me. And losing Barnes for Precious and Iggy wouldn't make sense to me if indeed Monte turned down packages like the Celtics were rumored to be offering.
