My question about Alex---can you keep up your play for more than 18 minutes? I ask this because hes still going top cost 5-7mm. Hes going to be at a minimum an MLE player.
Demarre Carroll--by the time all is said and done may run his value to 9-10mm can we pay that-- depends I think Id pass at those prices.
Cory Joseph--again a team will have to pay past his production level to get him--he may end up as a value player
I don't know what you mean by deals here? I think each of these players will be getting theirs. You have 11 teams with cap space and the other 20 have full MLE's--so Im not sure what you mean by deal or that any player will be an ez get.
I'm not sure that Middleton will get the Max. He's a rising player tho and I actually think it would be good value paying him $15-17 mil whatever the max ends up being.
I agree that Ajinca hasn't yet had to be a high minute player, but he's got the game you'd look for in a big. I think he's more affordable than many of the bigger names.
DeMarre may also be an affordable player. This is after all Free Agency and players are going to get paid. They're not all going to come for peanuts or else why would they leave their current team?
Cory I think is a very productive player if given minutes. His Advanced stats suggest that very clearly.
I tried to be very thorough in making this thread. The advanced stats back up the notion that these players could offer good value over bigger names in Free Agency. There's always a risk, but if you want certainty then you pay full price for the big names.
