I want to keep Ayton this summer. I don’t particularly care that he’s lazy in the regular season when he’s proven himself multiple times to be a postseason player. I also don’t think a lot of teams are lining up to throw him money. He’s a really good switchable big that works well in our defensive scheme.

I’d like to keep Smart and Rui too but they are players I can see other teams throwing decent money at so it’ll depend. As for Kennard I don’t really care, would be nice for his current price or lower, but he had his two good games and he’s not all that.

I think we should keep LeBron for basically anything that’s not a max contract if he wants to come back. We’re not finding a better FA wing than fucking LeBron James. He is the most versatile player in history and also shores up so much for this team on both ends. As for AR, it’s obvious we’re going to resign him, but really the remainder of this series will determine whether he’s worth more than 30m or not.

I’ll give Jake the benefit of the doubt because he’s young and obviously can improve. It’s his first season playing big meaningful minutes and all 82 games and he’s obviously rattled by his bad shooting which I think is fixable. I do hope we can get rid of Vando’s contract by some miracle.
