I totally would have done 5/110 for IQ. Lots of different numbers out there, and if we only offered 5/80, he was right to turn that down. But if it’s also true he wanted 5/140, we were right to turn that down.

Fournier our tonight after one game

It was all the effort he was putting in on defense…so unfamiliar, his body couldn’t take it…

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It must have exhausted him. He’s only got 16 minutes per season in him these days.

Well Geo, you’ve always got Turning Japanese by The Vapors

i swear d-mar that tune starts rolling through my head at the oddest moments…i think i’m turning japanese, i think i’m turning japanese, i really think so…it can potentially go on for a few minutes…

could be worse, could have “whip it good” plaguing my mind…

alright, i’m just gonna say it – devo kinda sucked…there, i am now unburdened from the thought that first struck me when i saw: DiVo…

i get the last name nickname…devo was very underwhelming though…now, the DDT – that was art…

If the NBA hits its 10% max cap raise, then 25% will be ~37.5M.

This is the risk of not extending, if the player goes off, then the raise is gargantuan. If the player stays the same or regresses, it might not fall that much.

Still a long ways to go in the season and IQ is shooting flames from every part of the court right now. Maybe RFA will save us a little bit, but we are approaching the “we’re just spending Dolan bucks anyway” financial stage… hopefully Jimmy doesn’t get tightfisted when the Sphere loses another $100M

Let’s get one thing clear about Devo’s biggest hit of all time: “Whip It” is not a song about masturbation, or S&M

well now, that’s disappointing 😞

Thanks, pt, and yes, I do remember that thread and your posts well. So 25% of cap is somewhere in the $35M AAV range, with 5% raises taking him north of $40M by contract’s end, right? Ignoring what he will ultimately be offered or accept, where do you think the absolute drop-dead ceiling be for him? Because, as I said, if you believe in IQ’s offense (and by extension, think it is transferrable to a starting role at the same or higher usage, see: OKC’s James Harden) you are describing a max-level player. If he gets offered that 25% by another team, do you match or walk?

and btw i still think there is a decent chance the market for quick ends up materially south of the 25% max and we keep him for less. rfa is a minefield and it was always possible that being extension stingy could have worked out for a 180 pound sixth man you’re playing 25 mpg with no good playoff history. i just think the risk reward wildly favors him being worth more than 15pct of the cap in his prime and you needed to at least make him say no to $120 million before risking having to match a shorter $30-$35mm deal with a player option. i also worry the offer reflects undervaluation that might show up in a trade.
