Breh this is riley here and just look at the signs of this season alone. Green and amare couldve got MLE money this season but came here and beno agreed to a buyout after having a season ending surgery. Drag even structured his salary to help pieces fit so i know whiteside not signing for 10m a yr but big jew elisburg will crunch the #s and appease everybodies needs.
Deng and joe kinda cutting into each others money but they both want to stay at least thats what they saying. Amare too and mcbob still on a cheap contract. He's our franchise but i hope this the last 20m a year contract wade getting. Hopefully 2-3 yrs at 14-16 m
Im saying dont bet/count on it. Of course i hope some make it work but I also understand that Wade has given up a lot of money so it's only fair that he wants to recuperate some of it back Especially since his time is short.
I dont expect WhiteSide will give discounts.
Deng and Johnson are likely to stay if they can make it work but i can easily see many teams offering Johnson double what we' can offer him so im not getting my hopes up. Deng is still in high demand in the league and now that Winslow's likely to start at the 3 next year he may leave.
I think Riley will go at Durant and Whiteside try to get them to sign first. Then coerce Wade to come back for one more run at a discount. I can see Dragic getting dealt to make room. At least UD and a few others come off the books.
