    I don't think about how much money he's going to get. I think about how lightning quick he is, how well he shoots from the outside and imagine him on the Nash/D'Antoni Suns. He makes my imagination shine.

    Is Bazemore worth the max? i've seen him have some explosive games this year when he is the goto guy. Might be another steal.

    While from a cap perspective this is true, I'm curious if there will be a cost to move Ariza/Brew . We'd all love to move those guys for contributors at other positions or maybe future draft considerations, but how much value do they have ? I guess maybe teams that wanna fill out the salary minimums ?

    He seems like an excellent fit next to Harden. He can shoot the 3 and pump fake and drive off the pass.

    That makes our offense go way up.

    ariza seemingly has to have value. ariza costs 8 and he could probably get 16 in this market.

    even brewer could probably get close to his 8 in this market and certainly shouldn't cost anything to move. if he was a FA then he would basically just be a mediocre signing for $8M to get you to the floor so getting rid of him should be free (or at least i wouldn't pay anything to trade him).

    He shot 35.7% from the 3 point arc, 35.1% for his career. Not that great. He is a fine player, but not a $19M player.

    Equivalent to about $15m/yr under old cap

    With next years increase, it could be equivalent to $13m/yr

    That really isn't bad. He's definitely worth it

    This "he is not a $19MM player" business needs to stop. We have never seen this kind of money available in the NBA so we don't have a baseline for telling us which players are worth what.

    He is not a 20% of the salary cap player.

    still overpaid, 16 mil is 16 mil

    four-year, $64 million is ridiculous

    Well in '17-'18 is he a 17% of the cap player? Because that's what he will be on a $107MM cap.
