Information from Basketball Insiders was used in the creation of this post.
Bradley Beal and Zach LaVine are the only difference makers. If both with extensions then 2022 free agency will pretty much be meaningless.
Read through that list and thought the same thing. There’s Harden and Irving, but realistically I doubt anything is going to happen there unless the upcoming season goes completely sideways. And there’s no way Westbrook doesn’t re-up and takes the player option.
John Wall will likely choose to opt out with such a weak class of free agents.
He will be giving plenty of opportunity to prove himself this season after missing 32 games last year. A lot of those had to do with the Rockets being super cautious after he missed two seasons, then he was shut down for the final 12 games. So he really missed just 20 games, which isn’t that bad considering. He will be a much hotter commodity next summer than people think, he might even fetch a decent return for Houston in a sign and trade.
Gotta say, I used to get excited looking at these lists and imagining the possibilities. Now though, I don’t care.
Everyone is available one way or another. If the best ones want out, they get moved. The best of the best ones, they still get to pick (seemingly) their destination. Below them, everyone can be had. So, whatever…
You can only attack 3 players by overpaying
Zach LaVine 29 years old max
Beal 30 years old max
Michael Porter Jr. injury history max
LaVine is 27? LOL
You are right
LaVine next contract starts at 28 and Beal at 29
Even the 2nd tier Ingels Thad Harris VO JJ Cov etc is pretty bleh
Can probably expect a fair amount of movement via trades again next offseason
Lakers are over the threshold as soon as Westbrook exercises his player option. At that point, the Lakers will have 3 players sighed.
If both Russ and Nunn opt in LA will just barely be over the luxury tax with only 5 players including LBJ, AD, and THT. Then they will have just over $6M from their MLE to sign a player or two for more than the minimum.
Plus they have no draft picks, so the roster will once again be filled with washed up veterans on minimum deals that no one really wants anymore.
