4/10/2023 0 Comments Phoenix point guard![]() Now it seems like any serious offer would have to be for at least $100 million over the next four years, somewhat limiting the potential suitors given the greater difficulty of meeting that threshold in a sign-and-trade. Jalen Brunson, PG, Dallas: $29,371,294īrunson’s strong playoff run for the Mavericks seemingly silenced some of the chatter that A) Dallas might be willing to let him walk and B) another team could get him for well below the max. With the cap-room teams mostly rebuilding and not really needing a point guard, and some other teams turned off by the assorted sideshows that accompanied his presence in Boston and Brooklyn, the Nets might be able to negotiate something short of the five-year, $245 million deal he’d be eligible to receive.Ģ. The other piece of this, of course, is assessing what options Irving has besides the Nets. Even in his limited time last season, he averaged 27 points per game with 59 percent true shooting … and it wasn’t a particularly good year by his standards. Irving will turn 31 next season, so the out years on a four- or five-year deal for his max don’t rate out as profitable, but in the short term, the numbers say he’d be likely to justify a max deal. Irving can opt out of his current deal that pays him $36.9 million next season and become a free agent, where his maximum salary for 2021-22 would be $42.7 million. No, BORD$ doesn’t have to deal with Kyrie Irving in the locker room, but he still rates as a hugely valuable player. Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn (player option): $48,497,568 Other players who fall under this category and aren’t listed below include Cory Joseph, Shake Milton, Ayo Dosunmu, Tre Jones and Gabe Vincent. ![]() By the same token, I’ve also declined to list partially guaranteed or non-guaranteed players who are highly unlikely to be waived ( Jose Alvarado, for example). On the other hand, I did list John Wall, who will most assuredly opt in to his contract for $47 million but is likely to be bought out afterward. Keep in mind that I’ve only listed reasonably possible free agents here Russell Westbrook and Kendrick Nunn, for instance, are near-certain to opt in to their deals for 2022-23 and thus were omitted from this list. While this method has some limitations - it’s a value for the coming season only, for instance, and obviously, factors like health, attitude and fit aren’t taken into account - it provides a 10,000-foot view of the marketplace and what valuations might make sense on player contracts for the coming season. Again, we’ll be doing what I’ve done the past two offseasons: Using my BORD$ valuations to help develop an idea of what these players are worth. We’re going to start with the point guard market, drilling down well into the depths of the minimum guys, before moving on to the other positions later in the week. We’ve already broken down the top 25 overall free agents in this summer’s market. ![]()
