It'll also be interesting once Zo/BI go from rookie deals to being paid $20m+ a year too. The expectation knives will sharpen.


Will Ingram and Zo be $20m+/yr players? Teams aren't handing a lot of those contracts out to guys coming off rookie contracts lately. The list of $20m+ players from the last three draft classes entering free-agency is pretty small.

2014: Wiggins, Embiid, Gordon, and Jokic. Lavine is close @ $19m/yr
2015: Towns, DLo, Porzingis, Booker. Turner is close @ $18m/yr
2016: Simmons, Murray, Brogdon

I can see BI getting Brogdon money.

BI showed flashes of being an all-star when the offense ran through him. If he stays healthy I think he'll get a big pay day.

Lonzo is a guy I wanted to keep because I think he'll be undervalued. I think he'll be in that $13-15M range, similar to Beverly. If he develops even a league-average jumpshot he will far outplay that contract. The way he rebounds and controls pace is underrated.

The question will be whether BI can continue having the offense run through him on a Pels team where a lot of mouths want to be fed. I agree that's where he looked the best.

Zo, I think he'll get more than 13-15m.

But this is something that is surprising when you see top draft picks re-up or the teams just walk away from them (or trade them) b/c the price is too high.

That's not a core. It's just Kuzma and three random guys.
