How much do you think good complementary players get paid? Dude is a great player defensively and offensively who was simply depended on to do far too much offensively with the current roster. And do you just want them to get rid of everyone? That's not a great plan IMO.
I will bet TD will be a better player with bigger minutes with salary control
It has nothing to do about dumping everyone , its about properly slotting everyone within your team structure and more importantly where your team is going
Look around the league those good complimentary players are the ones killing their teams cap right now
Tobias Harris , Bledsoe , etc ….and teams would gladly take mulligans on those contracts right now
He was exposed in the playoffs relying on behind the arc to produce . He has no midrange game and was slotted perfectly last year when Jesus carried us .
You cant over pay him , he is not Lowry`s replacement long term .
He is your fourth guy at best on a contending team. We have 2 players hitting 30 mil and OG has to get paid and is a more important piece moving forward .
Masai needs to tweak this roster but not overpaying Fred on a lower cap
As mentioned Boston went hardball with Smart and at 13 mil is a better 2 way player
