he'll be cut and let go after the season. unless he'll accept vet min and a monthly subscription to cupcakes.
Remind me what is the "deadline" for both sides to need to come to an agreement before there's some kinda fallout? I have to imagine, for both him and the Rockets, the figure is going to come down to how things look like they're going this year... I'm sure a decision has to be made before the playoffs (presumably by around the trade deadline?), so we won't really have all the data we want, but we can at least get some.
idk but unless we make the finals this year, there's no way Stone is dumb enough to put us in the 2nd apron to pay just KD.
Looking at our 1st apron room next off-season, it looks like we have around 68.6M to pay KD+Eason and 4 other vet min guys. If you sign 4 guys to the vet min, that leaves us with about 59.4M of cap space to work with since Stone likely wants to operate under that 1st apron until we have to pay Amen the year after. So unless KD takes a HUGE paycut, like 80M/2years (which I highly doubt) or Tari is fine being paid much less than his worth, I don't see both of them on this team next season.
I do wish him the best in his next team, it was great having him here... A fan favorite, a gentleman and a scholar... Will miss you Durant....
