We were living for today not thinking about tomorrow.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
There have been rumblings of the Wizards wanting to move on from both Beal and Porter (feelings they overpaid Porter)
LAC wants to move on from DJ, they are actually negotiating a buyout, and they also want to trade Harris (no plans to re-sign him), so we may be getting the best return, but it's all players their respective teams no longer want

If I'm not mistaken Cousins 1st year of his max would hit somewhere around 30-32m. I can't remember the exact number off the top of my head. Then factor in 8% raises each year for the length of the contract.
If I remember correctly, the first year of a max for Cousins would be something like $30.3m. Assuming 5 years, with 8% increases per year
Year One: $30.3m
Year Two: $32.54m
Year Three: $35.14m
Year Four: $37.95m
Year Five: $40.98m
Total Contract Value: $176.91m
That's assuming the 8% increase is cumulative and based on the previous year, which I think is how they calculate the increase.
Basketball.
Getting Rondo to take the nonbird money would be huge so we can use the tax payer MLE on a wing player.
My history with this team says they give him the tax MLE though.
I could see a nonBird for 4 years though. That way he still gets his 16 million as he's unlikely to be worth the roster spot the final year or two of that deal, but Rondo doesnt know that.

Per MM they have a 20% raise on his previous 3.9mil contract on the table. If you think about it why go higher. No playoff contender can give him much more or needs a PG. He could likely get more from a non contender but then he would be miserable on a losing team. Just can't see the pelicans giving the tax MLE for him at this point. Time will tell.
MM has been posting on the tigerdroppings pelicans board. I think what he's saying right now is the pels want to bring back tyreke and have an offer out to cousins that is incentive-laden and a team option in year 2. Cousins wants a player option.
Well... he got what he wanted (if what he wanted was more than $8MM a season.
I believe he wanted a 2 year $16 million deal ($8 mil. per season). I thought he was worth every penny of that and it believe was reasonable.
Think about it, someone was stupid enough to pay Trevor Ariza almost that much for 1 season!!!
