I still maintain that if retention is involved, I’m holding on to Petey.
Which could be a horrible idea. Part of me thinks this ample cap space situation provides a unique opportunity that will be short lived, similar to the NBA with the 2016 summer and the Mozgovs and Biyombos getting dumbass deals.
But if you think he can get you 70 points this year, I’d just wait it out.
It’s not just the fact that you’re fixing in a significant retention cost, but more so that you only have so many contracts you can retain on. And for us, we should be utilizing those every year to churn assets. At least leave that door open through these next two years.
But hey, if you’re betting Pettersson is literally just a 45-50 point guy the remainder of his career, get out now.
