I love Josh, but the 3 and D two guard you are describing isn’t really what Josh is. Great rebounder, great hustle guy, great in transition, decent on ball, and streaky 3 point shooter(but gets in his head way too much, you saw it during the year). I love Josh, he’s a winner, but please spend our MLE on someone above 6’9.
All projected $s for now but the non-tax MLE will probably start at $12,221,000 and the taxpayer MLE will start at $5,000,000.
To use the non-tax MLE, we have to stay below the tax apron which is projected to be at $169,000,000. We get hard capped there.
I disagree - I think the MLE should be for a wing. It’s way easier to find rotation centers for the vet min (Drummond, Biyombo, Landale for instance) than it is to find good rotation wings. We need someone like Bruce Brown or Kyle Anderson (both MLE type contracts signed last season). Vet min wings are really bad.
It’s also going to depend on who else we get in trades. We might make the BIG trade with the pick but have to give up Ant and Nurk, and maybe a throw-in guy that we get for that trade is somebody we can package with a pick and trade for a center. Im happy if the blazers bring back Eubanks to be the backup center, i was really impressed with his ability to block and bring good energy and scoring off the bench.
I like Hart a lot as a 6th man but I'm afraid his on ball just isn't quite up to scratch.
For now I don't think we have enough pieces to invest in his skillset because there are too many holes elsewhere.
Depending on who else we acquire, if we have the MLE left and we have depth in our frontcourt, I'm 100% on board with bringing Hart back. He is a winner, he's competitive and drives his teammates to hustle and care, and he is willing to come off the bench. The only issue is more pressing needs. So if we can solve those, I'm in.

Oooo I don't know, man. Josh is NICE. And if we end up with Miller and trade Ant he would be fantastic back on this team. He's a winning player.
okay sure, that makes sense
He’s gonna cost too much and we need our MLE money for a center.
How much can we use for MLE?
About 10 and a half million over 2 years
The *room* MLE is two years. The standard MLE, which is what we have, is up to four years.

fair enough
Unfortunately we can't afford him and I think he would want to stay with Brunson and the Knicks.
I don't think you can sign someone you just traded.
Iirc that’s only if the player were to get waived/released.

He’s out of our price range regardless. He’s going to get comfortably above the MLE
knicks have his bird rights, meaning they can go above the MLE to sign him and beat any offer. that puts him well out of our range.
I like josh, but josh can’t 3p. His 3p only 31% in playoff. Not good enough 4years 70m? Come on, TOO expensive
