Ayton and Mitchell Robinson are also restricted free agents, and Jurkic, Ibaka, Cousins, McGee, Drummond, and Bryant are unrestricted. There aren't that many teams projected to have cap space this year...Pistons, Spurs, Pacers, Blazers and us. I could see one of them offering the $10M MLE, and I would expect us to match. God please no. Don’t match any offer. I have no patience for any player who doesn’t give 110% percent. If I have to see him half heartedly jog down the court again it better be with a different team’s uniform on his azz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's hard is that Mo hasn't been around great vets to push him and hold him accountable. I think he needs that and I'm not sure we'll have that any time soon. The issue has never been an ability issue; it's always been a focus and hustle issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Isaac comes back healthy, and we get one of Smith/Banchero/Holmgren in the draft, he won't get much playing time anyway. I would match the offer to maintain the asset since the contract can be easily moved. Could Bamba's $10M contract, Ross' $11M expiring contract, and the Chicago and Denver 1st round picks get us anything decent? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This excuse and others have been given to Mo for four years. He either wants to hustle or not. I don’t see that he wants to. We can’t rely on others to motivate him. Four years of waiting for him to change his ways is long enough. And he only has big games against inferior players. Cut bait. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 293 Report post Posted April 6, 2022 Yeah, Mo is a sell high candidate. If teams see his good play against sub par players as a turnaround, let them take that chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s nothing we can sell really. I guess there’s sign and trade potential there, but I don’t see anybody willing to commit to him long term Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m agreeing in wanting to cut bait. I also won’t be surprised if he does well on a team with more vets (and stable culture) elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite frankly I think either is too much, considering how little consistency he has shown; but is it worth losing an asset? Nothing to say you have to offer anything close to that as a multi year deal. Would I hate him taking a one-year QO deal, and having to prove he can be consistent now he is finally healthy? I might take a flyer on that, or do a sign & trade if an offer comes along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
