Anyone think Danny will look to bring in a center on a team friendly deal? Maybe similar to the Amir Johnson contract. Guaranteed one year with team option for year 2? Might have to pay a higher per year amount in order for that control. Dwayne Dedmon, Kyle OQuinn, Aron Baynes?
I don't think we have the cap space to do that. We'd have to use MLE or an exception of sorts. I think they try to bring back Baynes using the MLE. If not, use it on another backup big (which I think will be a need if Baynes and/or Monroe leave in the off season). Or they could make a trade for a back up center who is locked up at a reasonable rate for another year or two.

Dwayne Dedmon, Kyle OQuinn, Aron Baynes?We can keep Baynes at $5.4 million per or go to the non taxpayers MLE max at around $8.7 million perWe can keep Monroe at $6 million per or go to the non taxpayers MLE max at around $8.7 million perEvery other FA big out there we can sign with the MLE up to that $8.7 million per max.That's all based on not going over the taxpayer limit before signing them, which I think Danny would be wise enough to work around.
Why are people down or not talking about keeping Monroe (unless I'm missing it)? In 19 minutes per game, he did 10/6. Aaron Baynes, in 18 minutes per game did 6/5. I'd think with a full year in Brad's system, Monroe might flourish.
