It wouldn't shock me at all if he got more then $5 mil per, as a matter of fact i think he will and could get much closer to $10 mil. Maybe like $8 mil per. What did KOQ get from the Pacers? I think Vonleh showed himself to be better then KOQ and i'm a KOQ fan.
Yeah i can see him getting more, but big men are tough to predict. KOQ got about 5 mil from the pacers, but i think he will only get minimum next year. Obviously Vonleh is younger and still with upside, but the big man market is really volatile. Vonleh is a nice role player who is starting to space the floor which really helps. I love him though, and hope we retain him.
I forgot that KOQ only got $5 mil from the Pacers and thought he got more for some reason. I think Vonleh is a better player then KOQ is though. He's got that crazy long wingspan and he can shoot the 3 ball better then KOQ can and plays better defense then KOQ. KOQ's best work was his passing and his work around the basket. I would hope that Perry and Mills have already spoken to the agents of each one of our young guys to get a feel on if we're gonna be able to bring that back at a reasonable cost next year and if not then they need to trade Vonleh and any other player they know they won't be able to bring back. I'd absolutely hate to see Vonleh get traded but if we aren't gonna be able to re-sign him then we need to get what we can for him.
Why would another team trade for a player that is going to be a free agent at seasons end unless he can help them now contend?
And if they did, do we take back a longer contract? I want picks.
Vonleh is not that consistent yet and also gets that working in this environment helps his value.
We knew this going in. We can't keep all the good ones.
If the system works there will be other "Vonleh's to work with also. It might be better to keep attracting players on very favorable deals still knowing some will pan out better than others.
Vonleh has some good games and some that are not so. I sense your high on the kid at the moment and I do like what he has done. Im not convinced he is a keeper nor am I extending him and eating cap space.
I actually agree with you here
You can't really judge players in this environment, because everyone is playing for their next contract, showing they got talent, they put the team 2nd, and you can see that by the low assists as a team, the inconsistent play on both ends..
KOQ had a few solid games last season, but on a playoff team he's not even in the rotatio, same fro BEASLY..
