Knicks eyeing Kent Bazemore, but price tag may be holdup | New York Post
Atlanta would have to use its precious cap space to re-sign Bazemore. The Hawks’ only other option is using the early Bird exception on Bazemore, but that pact would start at $6 million.Bazemore is expected to seek more than double that — a pact starting at at least $16 million. That’s more than the player he replaced in the starting lineup, DeMarre Carroll (four years, $60 million last summer).
Am I that out of touch with the NBA? I know Bazemore was in a few rotations recently, but this nikka came up like that?

I'm happy for Baze and that he's about to get paid, but if he's asking for $16 million, I'ma wish him well and move on. He is not worth that amount. He started the year off strong, struggled for part of the season & struggled with his shot/confidence. He's an undersized SF who can't consistently shoot. He's not getting $16 million if I'm running the Hawks

Cap went up so much a lot of these guys are going to be getting paid..seems like a lot but its not really in relation to the cap.
Yeah I'm familiar with that, but that still seems OD. Is that the new MLE?

I think Bazemore gets something around the range of 4 yrs/$52 mil

You have to look at the market. Guys like Shumpert, Ross & Lamb are getting $9-11 mil a year, and Bazemore is better than all of them

It wouldn't shock me if he got 16 a year but that's probably his best case scenario

I'm aware of the market, but the market shouldn't dictate the Hawks overpay for a player who at his ceiling is probably 12-13 a night with an inconsistent shot. I feel like I'm a little closer to the Hawks train of thought on Baze, would be cool to have him back, but not willing to overpay to keep him. $10-$12 is the max the Hawks should commit to him

He's good as gone. We can get Rudy Gay for a 1st round pick and Thabo/Splitter(3rd team to clear space) or trade for P.J. Tucker. Bazemore is not worth more than 10-12 for what we do.

I'll rather us our cap space for someone like Dwight Howard, Noah, etc and add an impact player in our rotation than bring back an mediocre wing who doesn't fit skill-set wise. We need a 3rd big who has an impact if we can't get Durant which is highly unlikely.
