We matched SEVENTEEN per for Hardaway - and that was what will be five years removed.
That was a blunder.
Just 12-15 mil for Robinson as an RFA?
Myles Turner flat $18M's (4 years)
Capela $17M this year (3 years more with $1M increases per year)
Brook Lopez $12M (3 more years with $0.5M raises)
DeAndre $10M (4 years)
Those guys are all better than Mitch and we can only hope Robinson reaches Capela or Myles Turner level on his next contract. $10M -$14M range sounds like where Mitch should start out. He hasn't proved much yet, except potential. 3/$36 or 4/$50M seems reasonable.
Vucevic with a recent large C contract (4/$100M). Also, Embiid and Horford $28M (Al's drops and Joel's escalates over the next 3 years)
Be interesting to see what two previously overpaid defensive C's -- Whiteside and Biyombo -- get in FA. Also, Gasol & Ibaka (though TOR will certainly keep at leats one of those two). Mahinmi makes for another Defensive C FA.
Well, I only went through the East (and added in Whiteside).
Takeaways:
- seemingly everybody has their starting C signed for 4 years (3 more).
- not many teams need a starting C (CHA, WAS ...)
- lotta defensive C's will be FA's.
- a handful of scoring C's make big $
EDIT:
Here's the West quickly:
KAT 5/$150M
Jokic 4/$130M
A Davis $27M
Gobert $27M
Steven Adams $27M next year
(those guys are stars, except Adams who will get much less next contract)
Valanciunas 3/$45M
Nurkic 3/$37M
Zubac 4/$30M
there's also some cautionary tales:
Dieng with $17M left next year.
Dedman 2/$26M left
HOU & GS don't really have a C
