2021 NBA Free Agents Tracker

List of all of the potential upcoming free agents this summer

Orlando has our pick and we're not getting in the top 3

I think we will actually - This is the sort of luck we're due.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Even if you renounce all your non guarantees, you'd have ZERO shooting. If y'all want Ball, why draft PWill?? They don't fit.

The Vuk trade set y'all back about 5 years. You stuck in limbo... sorry, not sorry

Williams already shoots 38% from 3

How is Okoro doing.....uh huh what's up ok shut up

Sexton is legit
Garland is whatever
Okoro could become ok one day but could just be Stanley Johnson Jr...not looking great so far

You have nothing else lol

So enjoy your Walmart version of Dame/CJ

How? Minny, Detroit, and Houston are in the top 3 I believe Orlando (their pick) is in 4th and Okc 5th blatantly tanking.

Explain how we get into the top 3?

We're not is the reality.

We'll be seeing just how much Zach "loves" playing with his new 31 year old "AllStar" teammate and veteran head coach next summer

This was always expected.

He's eligible for a much larger contract if he waits until next year.

Zach LaVine likely to decline contract extension this offseason, become free agent in 2022, per report

• [*]LaVine will be eligible for a traditional veteran extension this offseason. Such a deal can last five total seasons (including any years remaining on the deal, so four new ones in LaVine's case), can start him off at a 20 percent raise in the first year of the new contract (so, starting at LaVine's $19.5 million salary for next season, would therefore start at $23.4 million) and can include eight percent annual raises thereafter. In total, this would allow LaVine to sign a new deal that would guarantee him roughly $104.8 million in new money over four years. When you see the next set of numbers, you'll understand why he's very unlikely to accept this offer.
  [*]LaVine could, in theory, do nothing. Then, in the summer of 2022, he would be eligible to sign a five-year contract with the Bulls starting at 30 percent of the salary cap that would include eight percent raises, or a four-year deal with another team starting at the same figure but with only five percent raises. The projected 2022-23 cap is $115.7 million. Therefore, LaVine would be eligible for a five-year, $201.3 million deal with the Bulls or a four-year, $149.3 million deal with another team.

He waits another year to sign he can get an additional year and another $100M in his deal.

You're skipping over this part of that article...

The Bulls could use their cap space this summer to renegotiate LaVine’s current contract, which would allow them to extend his deal for a higher amount. A player-friendly renegotiation-and-extension is certainly possible.

Perhaps, these rival executives know a renegotiation-and-extension isn’t in the cards. This is the type of research teams do. They want to know which players are attainable and when.

Make no mistake the bulls could absolutely push up his pay raise with a renegotiation and resigning (instead of a regular extension that limits his max)... Zach is allegedly choosing to not push for a contract this off-season ... He's not being forced to make that decision and it's not because of money... This is what Jimmy was wanting to the Wolves to do for him but they didn't want to trade away the pieces to create the cap space to do so ... Zach may very well still end up staying however it won't be because he HAS to wait until next year to get that 100million dollar raise

Why wasn't Gafford playing for you guys? He's been spectacular in DC.

Inconsistent - foul trouble - we really didn't have the playmakers to take advantage of his rim running ability.

I think the playmaking must be part of it cause Westbrook, Beal, and even Ish Smith are finding him constantly for easy buckets.

Defensively... he's protecting the rim without fouling a ton. I mean, we haven't seen this in DC in a long time.

He desperately needed a pg to maximize his talents we just didn't provide that kind of pg play.

Might be feeling more comfortable with those two lead guards
