will post AFTER the draft as it is too hard to determine which positions we need to fill, at least the draft order, though I expect us to make some moves on draft day as well
I surely WOULD NOT offer the Qualfing offer to Shved, though I would not mind keeping him at the right price, the cap hold on him is too high to even consider
I would pay him backup money, like from 2.5m - 3.5m at best, depending if he wants security or a shorter term contract, comparing his contract to Sessions 2.2m /Bayless/and DJ Augustine 3m
If we do not acquire much Guards, he would get an opportunity to compete for a starting JOB if he chooses to stay in NYK, however, he will not be worth it to be payed STARTING MONEY
3.5m would be the most I think he would be worth but if we give him the qualifing offer it would be more than his qualifing offer and not worth that givin our lack of $$$ to spend
I would like to get Tyler Harvey as mid 2nd rounder if we can aquire one and Terry Rozier as a early 2nd rounder if he falls
However, if we draft Russell or Mudiay, the price would go lower, from about 2.5m to under 3m
I would like to try to buy low on and take a risk on Tony Wroten with his injury, like a swap of Tim Hardaway JR/Early with some of our possible FA's if they like and/or a 2nd rounder
I would consider a future 1st rounder for Wroten if Philly gave us back a couple early 2nd rounders and maybe a combination of other young talents on their roster
For SHved, I do not think he is starting material because of his defense, which makes him a suitable backup roation with a 2 PG/SG lineup
IF he does start, it would just be a TEMP job till we can find a better PG
Larkin could be kept as a 3rd string PG with a near vet min deal, with no guaranteed money for 2nd year *because it takes away our financial flexiblity, however, would guarantee that he would be kept if he signs a near minimum deal for further development/continued assestesment, we just need the financial flexibility*
He has the speed/quickness/ability to penetrate that we lack, and he can stay in front of PG's which we need, a young JJ Barea type PG/SG which uses his ability to penetrate/score to help facilitate a bit as a backup/rotation player, rather than paying Shved, if we upgrade the PG position...
