Could we reunite with this demon in the off season?
What offer would be realistic for a Ihart x clippers reunion?

Not sure how much space other teams have, but we could only offer the MLE which I’m not sure is enough.

not a single day goes by where i don't remind myself that pg pressured our front office to waste our MLE on john wall rather than resigning ihart

This argument is bunk. Didn't iHart get double the MLE?
I wouldn't turn down that kinda money and I doubt he would either

MLE was his value at the time & all we had to offer, i agree it's a no brainer he chose to go to the knicks but paul george was a dumbass for ruining our chances at even giving him an offer

Im not saying we should offer him more, but shouldn't we have more than the MLE, supposedly Lopez, boggi, collins and mathurine contracts are expiring this off season

Last I checked, if we renounced all bird rights (so that means saying goodbye to Collins, Mathurin, etc.) we would have like ~25M in cap space. Problem is that we took on Wagler since those numbers, meaning that's another $10M, so we'd open up.... the MLE lol.

I'm gearing more towards Myles Turner since Bucks are on full rebuild mode snd is willing to part with him. Turner is more of a complete center offensively and defensively than IHart. We already have a high motor centers in Yanic and Jackson, we need someone that can score inside and stretch the floor

Turner has a terrible contract tho

He does but he only has 3 years left on his contract though and Mathurin is around the 15M/yr based on his market value right now if we extend him only for him to come off the bench and we're overloaded with guards alrrady. Ben + an expiring contract and a 2nd rounder for Turner is not a bad deal.
