Haliburton on His Return, Preseason Thoughts, and Most Intriguing Players!

Friedellorder to do so, he's not going to be anywhere near another max extension. Draymond is a 27 million this year. He's not going to be anywhere near that if he ends up wanting to stay.

LoweBut that would, in my mind, I'm ballparking like January 1 or something like that for Jimmy, which is a lot of the season. It's half the season almost.

LowePorzingis has only $3 million guaranteed on a player option next year. I feel like they're going to keep his contract on the books for trade purposes, at least through this season, and then decide. The cap space thing is super interesting because it might impact how they approach this season.

LoweRemember, when Jimmy first came, weren't there like 24 -7 with him? It was like some crazy record, right?
