@BrysonAkinsNBA Here's 2029 estimates if all players succeed but only Sarr gets close to max:
Trae 59
Sarr 50
Bilal 20
Tre 30
Bub 15
Riley 30
KG 35
AJ 21
three 1sts 25
three mins 10

That's almost 30M above the tax, and v close to 2nd apron. Plus no AD replacement.

@YAHLIKEKICKS @BrysonAkinsNBA @Wiz_Weekly The idea that a giant 4-year contract will have no side effects is just silly

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@DCsportsXP I hope he wouldn't -- but how could 60M not massively affect things, plus Trae's 50M, when Sarr, George, Bilal, etc are no longer on rookie deals? It's just addition.

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@Domo8186 No Riley -- intentional?

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@MasriNBA Whoever they sign will be playing approx 10mpg, less if they really stagger Sarr and AD. I think it'll be fine.

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@OBtoojiveforyou You've given up on Bub, even as a backup?

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@lockedonwizards Sorber is still a possibility, I think.

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@strobersports What would an ultimatum mean in this context? Give him and extension or else... what?

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@JoshuaBRobbins @TheAthleticNBA What specific team was planning to offer Trae Young the max? Or was that contract already agreed upon?

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@Domo8186 Why would the Cavs do that?

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@Free_Thinking1 @GregFinberg I'm agreeing about 2027, but I'm not so confident about 2028: a 40-year-old Curry, a probably-retired Lebron, whatever's left of AD and Draymond, and not much youth.

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@Free_Thinking1 @GregFinberg Are those really low value after 2027? That lineup could crumble at any time.

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@GregFinberg @dcmadness202 Sabonis? He + Trae would be rough on defense, but he'd help the rebounding, at least.

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@The_DC_Bob @Domo8186 Doesn't seem like he's physically capable of starter minutes. (That said, I think he only makes sense for Wizards if AD's gone.)

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@pdowdy83 @BrysonAkinsNBA The 2nd point is true, tho there's a wide range of "winning." But the AD money will be taken by Bilal, Sarr, and George.

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@BrysonAkinsNBA You're fresh out of school, hungry for clicks. A bit of humility might be wise here.

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@lmbbbhg @BrysonAkinsNBA Agree it might not block extensions, but it'll limit their ability to do anything else. Are we really saying a 212M contract doesn't have any effects?

[Felix Farrow @FFFFarrow]

@pdowdy83 @BrysonAkinsNBA They'll only have MLE going forward, with limited options to replace AD or if Young declines/breaks down. And then in Year 4 they'll now be in the tax; that's why a 3-year deal was important.
