Keon Ellis

Mathirin with Keegan and JK…hmm

Keon doesn’t upgrade their front court but I suppose they see him as a back up to Nembhard. Maybe they want to dangle Benny Math to get Kessler or Gafford as they have been reported to have interest in them

or get big at the 1-3, with Mathurin, Clifford, and Murray

I’m not sold as Clifford as a starter yet. I think max definetly can.

I’m not even sure we could put a good enough package for matherine.

nobody is. It's a rebuild

Well I’d say Maxime could definitely be a starter. He has had the opportunity. And has shown he can. Nique hasn’t had the chance. I’d like to see him take a similar step with the time he gets now.

So I think what this says is a lot of teams may see market value on Keon as above MLE but below the big money that FRPs feel entitled to, getting Bird rights gives them an edge to signing him in that 16-20m per range.

Which if we are planning on keeping him maybe we would be able to sign him to a reasonable extension without him hitting the market. On the flip side I can see them also possibly thinking that if they can upgrade the front court with a player like Walker who is young and still has one more year on his rookie deal before becoming RFA by moving Keon with Doug or Saric, they open an extra roster spot on any other trades.

It's a pretty huge gamble that I wish we didn't put ourselves in the position to make.

It's also kind of annoying players like Benn are now getting the same treatment 2nd round picks get, at a slightly higher level. Prove it in 3 years or you're JAG type mentality.

Well don’t be a Debbie downer if I want to picture dybantsu here. Honestly any of the top 10 can be good. Look at max 40s now 8th is some rookie rankings

Fair enough. But if you didn't want my take, why did you quote my post? I only responded because your comment was directed at me.
