KBD has earned himself some money. I would say at least $5 Million a season on a two-year deal.
If SA did bring KBD back what would the deal look like financially speaking?
I see he got 1.8MM this season

Woj: Lakers will match any offer on Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura, tabled D’Angelo Russell extension talks until after season
https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/...ract-extension
Yea I don’t see the lakers letting Reaves get away unless it’s some ludicrous offer, which is unlikely. They’ve been really good since the trade deadline and they’re going to keep this group together.
KBD has only ever made the minimum. This is the first offseason of his career where he is in a position to negotiate for more. My belief is that he needs to find a deal, here or elsewhere, where he can get some generational wealth.
With so many contracts on the books, three draft picks (maybe more?) in June, and lots of salary cap space, roster spots are pretty valuable. I'm not sure if it makes sense for both sides to continue their relationship. If the Spurs think he is a worthy veteran influence to keep on the team, I would give him a contract that is generous in the first year but protects future cap space (unguaranteed or partially guaranteed future years, declining year-to-year values).
There are some juicy 2024 free agents.
DeJounte UFA (not a fan tbh)
Jaylen Brown UFA
Anthony Davis PO
LeBron PO
Paul George PO
Kawhi Leonard PO
Domantas Sabonis UFA
Pascal Siakam UFA
OG Anunoby PO
Some good Restricted ones as well like Maxey, Ant Edwards, Haliburton but these restricted guys are usually a pipe dream without overpaying significantly.
Might be better of just being patient trying to put together a monster package for a big fish such as Luka or Giannis at the end of 2023-2024. You have to hope they are disgruntled and want to leave and the Spurs have to show they have a bright future during next season with Wemby.
Out of the potential 2024 FA's.
Quick and dirty rankings in terms of fit with the current Spurs.
1. Sabonis might be a good fit next to Wemby who would cover Sabonis biggest weakness (rim protection). Will be 28 in 2024.
2. Jaylen Brown could play 2 or 3 but would mean one of Keldon or Vassell is gone. Will be 28 in 2024.
3. Siakam would be a good get but might be some fit issues with Wemby and Sochan still need a stronger C to play with those guys. Maybe Siakam can get by as a 3. Will be 30yo by the time 2024 comes around might be pushing it to align with Wemby.
4. OG has become overrated but he's a high end role player or a good third option on a contender if you have a strong 1st and 2nd scoring option. Will be 27 in 2024.
5. AD will be 31 in 2024 but he looks like he is one rebound away from having a season ending injury on every play.
6. Kawhi will be 33 in 2024 and looks broken tbh.
Devin Booker might be a 2nd tier star you go after with a trade package at end of next season if the Suns looks like they're heading into the abyss (Durant regression, injury etc.).
Brandon Ingram is another (Zion injuries, CJ McCollum being trash).
SGA maybe.
Reaves is another guy pumped up by his market. I'm not saying he's not good, but he's not worth more than the MLE. Some people on YouTube said he was worth a low-max, which is ludicrous. He might legit be a decent player on another team ala Caruso, but Alex was paid way more reasonably.
Reaves will get more than MLE money imo. And while it’s easy to say the lakers will match, a quick offer sheet could put them in a really bad spot. They might have some cap space this offseason if they renounce hachimura, for example. But Reaves has a very small cap hold. An offer sheet that comes in before they’ve been able to lock in a FA signing could be completely brutal
Send in the offer sheet thenI hope the Lakers have to overpay both
Don't buy into Lakers crap. Laker players tend to be hyped more than normal. Caruso, kuzma, Clarkson, bynum etc. When they move to another team, then they're good but nothing worth overpaying. The big market is able to hype up their players well. (warriors does the same, say making Poole or Wiggins sound better than they are especially last year)
Thank you.
Lot of Lebron hate here and elsewhere. Truth of the matter is Lebron draws a of a lot of coverage including doubles as well as on-the run. Is often fantastic at then dumping off to the open man.
That is how Reeves gets a LOT of his wide open Laker looks.
Creating his own shot when locked down on D? Ya very average.
I wouldn't mind Spurs just re-signing Tre Jones and filling the roster with cheap players. Spurs priority isn't winning at that stage of the rebuilding plan. It's all about letting the young players grow and seeing how they fit together and how good they are.
Saying that, if they truly believe in a FA or a mid to late first round pick, Spurs have all the assets to get him with all their cap space and future picks.
Reaves is a pretty much a complete role player and should play for all playoff teams. He is a decent defender. He is a decent play maker. He is a decent shooter. He can draw fouls and he plays hard. He doesn't really have faults for a guard.
The absolute max any team can offer Reaves is 4/98. I honestly think Lakers would match this as well, but do so grudgingly.
Imma be shocked if he doesn't get at least one offer of 4/80 or better.
Surely we try to get jakob poeltl....Would be nice to have a defensive big paired up with wemby for the next few years
Austin Reaves and Poeltl are the most likely FA to fit here imo.
The Spurs original plan for Wemby was for Poeltl to start at C and Wemby to play PF.
Reaves might be a starting PG.
Resign Jones for sure.
Mamu and Champagnie are probably yes.
Probably Barlow as well.
Naz Reid is a maybe for me but probably not.
He’s part of the churn, and I think he’ll get a decent contract from someone else for it. Like the idea of front loading a 1 year deal (with no/little guaranteed money next year) and seeing if they can get an asset for him in Feb or use his contract for matching purposes.
A player I would like to see us go after is Jamal Cain of Miami. I think he is a RFA but I would like to see us go after him and see what he becomes. That being said we also dont have many spots on the roster to develop players that are not already here so he might have to push someone else off.
Wembys not a center, no matter what the mock drafts say.
Damn, I feel old.
Yes, he is. That's the position that will take the most out of him and that's where he will play 99% of his career. Folks wanting to pair him with a traditional center ala Poeltl need to stop overthinking things.
First George Hill and now this. Damn time files.
Drive up his price.
