Dudes acting like players at or above Bridges in skill are going to sign for these teams for less, especially if they aren't really contending.
Like fr, unless a great player gets traded or a draft pick pans out, these teams ain't getting talent like that. Memphis is literally built from draft picks and young players they got apart of trades. They're near bottom in terms of players salaries, and are gonna have to start throwing money at their core or that shyt goes up.
nikkas gonna be 20-30m under the cap with nothing to show for it. No trades in the works, your team can't attract star free agents, etc.
Hypothetically if all of these guys were free agents, who going out of their way to sign to Charlotte?
Who is forcing a trade to Charlotte?
Jimmy Butler is gonna be making 52 million off my Heat at 36 years old
