Upcoming Player Options (decisions to be announced):

97 Lebron James $41,002,272 Out (players older than 36 under the CBA can’t sign a max extension; he won’t be eligible next offseason so he cashes in this one)
96 Kawhi Leonard $35,674,652 Out (least loyal superstar in the League— will assess options)
90 Kyrie Irving $35,674,655 In (can get a 10 yr max next offseason and PG-13 decision last season could be precedent)
90 Russell Westbrook $42,809,585 Out (dude is athletically declining and needs one more max payout)
87 Kemba Walker $35,674,651 50/50
86 Danilo Gallinari $31,173,829 Out (soon to be 32 with suitors everywhere— one last big deal)
86 Tobias Harris $33,299,890 Out (lots of money and options on the table this summer, and could be a beneficiary of strike outs in the top FA tier)
85 Andre Drummond $30,347,232 Out (26, near tops at his position, should command big money with at least 7 teams having one max slot)
83 Louis Williams $10,626,492 Out (34 and getting older— one last cash out)
83 Paul Millsap $34,915,620 In (Easy call— no one is paying him this at 35)
81 Evan Fournier $15,503,727 Out (Could get a starting role and more $$ on the open market)
80 Ricky Rubio $19,140,896 In (Same as PM— no one is paying him this rate)
77 Andre Iguodala $4,103,200 In (Complete shell of himself— might be lucky for vet min)
77 James Johnson $10,852,845 In (Not getting that kind of money)
77 Rajon Rondo $10,442,748 In (Not getting this type of money)
76 Glenn Robinson $9,000,000 Out (Young wing who could get a sneaky long term offer)
76 John Henson $7,250,000 In (No one should touch him at this rate)
75 Alex Len $10,000,000 In (easily could be replaced by a vet min/1-2 MM a yr type)
75 Avery Bradley $30,746,848 In (Next player)
75 Bismack Biyombo $22,177,800 In (See above)
75 Shabazz Napier $2,427,350 Out (Probably could get more long term)
75 Taj Gibson $8,709,772 In (Not getting this at his age and with his decline)
74 Nicolas Batum $18,500,000 In (Just like his real life contract, massively overpaid)
73 Ian Mahinmi $4,728,181 In (See Len)
73 Kenneth Faried $35,728,928 In (another massive overpay)
70 Jerian Grant $3,165,813 Out (still young, maybe a team takes a long term flyer on him)

Kemba is in the same boat as Kyrie. Teammates with the best player in the league, a revamped roster, historical loyalty, wanted to be on a playoff team, and is eligible for a 10 year max next year, Paul George precedent. Not 50/50 IMO

He’s over two years older than Kyrie, and guards his size post age 30 tend to historically not age well. But, to your point on PG-13 decision, that may come into play. That’s why I have him as 50/50 personally

[Tom Izzo]

At 31 years old, and eligible for the 10 year max, it'd be his last big contract. Even if he doesn't get the 10 year max, he'd be eligible for more money long term than what he'd get if he were to opt out this summer. We're talking tens of millions.

[Steve Nash]

Fournier has a starting role and has been killing it! Otherwise I generally agree. Is that actually true about LeBron? I didn't know that rule existed in the CBA

[Shane Battier]

I don't think it'll be an easy decision for Kawhi to opt out. It's easy to say that he isn't loyal after his recent decisions but the only reason he wanted to be out of San Antonio is because of how the organization treated his injury. It's not like he bolted out of San Antionio right after his rookie deal. If there wasn't a misunderstanding, there's no doubt in my mind that he'd be staying with the Spurs.

[Tom Izzo]

He left Toronto after winning a championship and with a really good supporting cast. I mean, imagine if Toronto had kept him this year. They'd cruise to the Finals again in the East.

So the rule on maxes was actually more punitive prior to the last CBA, where if a player turned 36 during a max extension (4 or 5 yrs), the contract had to end in the same year the player turned 36. The change to the rule was pushed significantly by CP3 and LeBron. Now it has to end when the player turns 38, so even now LeBron can only sign a 3 yr max this offseason, but under the old rules he wouldn’t be eligible for a max that was more than year to year

[George Gervin]

I agree with Tom Izzo here on Kawhi; if he had stayed in Toronto, I might buy more that it was just animosity between him and San Antonio for his recent actions, but Toronto sported an elite sidekick under age 26 (Siakim), three solid veterans (Gasol, Ibaka, Lowry), three up and coming youngsters (Van Vleet, Anunoby, and Powell) plus some intriguing projects (Chris Boucher, Lorenzo Brown) for Kawhi to consider and he STILL walked away from that roster AND a full 4 yr max to sign with LAC on a shorter 2+1 type max deal. I think all bets are off when it comes to how he operates in the FA context.

[George Gervin]

Logistical question from me Ian Noble: if the NBA has yet to resume its season and hasn’t made a determination on continuation/cancellation by June 30, does our OSFA go off on July 1 using the projected February 2020 cap assumption of a $115 MM salary cap with a 150% HC of that figure, or would we defer OSFA until actual figures are released? Technically they release those once all regular season and playoff revenues are calculated, so we could have an unexpected break that would be mid-June to September if the NBA tried to finish this season.

That's a good question. It's difficult to have a definitive answer for it though!

If we wanted to continue with a July 1st start date for OSFA, and we didn't have any word from the NBA, we could just continue with an unchanged salary cap level - I think that would at least be more sensible than using an earlier season estimate that doesn't have coronavirus factored-in.

Maybe it would be good to make that decision earlier rather than later so GMs know what to expect.

I think it would make more sense to have that contingency decision made or at least put to a vote to see what GMs would prefer. I’m not sure delaying all OS items is the best route, as that makes it a real crunch in the fall between this season wrap up and the start of the next one, but maybe other GMs would prefer full delay until the NBA has established figures on cap, HC, etc

[Andrei Kirilenko]

I'd personally be against using an estimate, even if we are using $109m instead of $116m. I think we should just wait until we see what happens with the real NBA so that we can get it right.

There's value to this approach, but there's also value to being a virtual league that can progress with operations regardless of what's happening in the real NBA.

I agree with my fellow Josh. We've always based around NBA's figures for the cap. Granted, we have NOT delayed/paused/stopped our season like the real NBA has, so that could lead to some differences, but I'm not sure that parallels to this decision.

And, we've just this past year done a delayed offseason for other reasons, and I thought it was okay. We always lag behind the NBA (until this COVID-19 craziness), so if we end up lagging 2 months or 3 months behind due to our OSFA process being delayed / waiting for the NBA to catch up, so be it. We can catch up the time over the next year or two by shortening our offseason (post OSFA to start of next season) break by a few weeks or a month or so.

I'd say we wait, personally.

[Tom Izzo]

This league is the only semblance of sports we have going on. We resemble real life, but we don't have to follow everything exactly. We are a virtual league. I like the idea of continuing simply because I don't want to wait... This is filling my sports desire and enjoy the simulation.

Got to wait until the end of season (like 10 days time).
