Maybe, but depends on how he plays. If he maintains his career avg of like 28% from 3 and 40% from the field, and is terrible offensively, I am unsure. Depends on who else is there. A year younger with those career #s he got less than $2 million. So he likely won't be in high demand.

It will be interesting if we spend our exceptions or if we try to get under the tax, because that repeater tax will start to increase exponentially fast.

Tony Allen was in a different era of basketball. But if we can get him for the minimum, or if he is the best option out there at the BAE, maybe. Would you rather have him than Craig who can hit the 3 at over 39% and is better from 2 as well and a better rebounder? Okogie is a better defender and shows flashes of some very nice plays at times but I am unsure I'd want to commit more than 1 year to him.

I would prefer to have Okogie. He is the better overall player. Much better ball handler and passer, higher IQ and better POA defender.

I would have said so after a small sample size, but he seems to have reverted to what he was...a 3rd stringer. Craig has played meaningful roles for teams for a number of years now. I get frustrated with him, and I wasn't even nearly as excited as others to bring him back (thought it was odd so many were so excited and always said they wanted him back), but he's definitely more valued around the league than Okogie..that's for sure.

Maybe Okogie can get back to what he did in those 5 games or so and it's more indicative of future value than his other 300 games, but not so sure.

If Okogie would average an efficient 18 ppg when playing great defense he would get a $100M/4 years contract.

He isn't a third stringer and he deserves to start for us...and that's what he has been doing for a month even with a full healthy roster.

Craig is OK but we are talking here about a much more impressive player who already probably is one of the better perimeter defenders in the league.

And Craig has past his prime and Okogie is entering his best years, you have to take that into consideration for their next contracts.

If he shot around league average for 3's he would be looking for a lot of money this offseason.

Josh Okogie has 5 years of service but as a non-bird FA also got a 120% raise, so his contract is:

Year 1 - $2,815,937
Year 2 - $2,956,734 (PO)

If JO has a strong season, he will have the ability to opt out & sign a longer term more lucrative deal using Early Bird Rights.

I also expect him to have no trade power this season.

Tuff angle for Okogie and his hairline. Over under on time until he breaks out the bic is 1 year.
