I said the option is fine. Beyond a year would not be all that wise. But whatever....I'm not worrying about this stuff until after the playoffs. I was responding to someone else who also mentioned age. I agree that he's not a multiyear piece unless it's a huge bargain, but I see no reason to worry about his age on a 1-year deal considering how he's playing now. In fact, one could argue that having him on an expensive but short deal is exactly what you want. It's the multiyear commitments that could really kill the payroll once Giannis gets the supermax. Lopez, for example, is a huge 7-footer with a history of foot problems. He's almost as old as Hill and might require a full 3-year MLE deal to retain, and I think any team that gives him that is going to regret it I love the financial meta-game, even during the playoffs. Not trying to derail the thread or anything but it's a great chess game. yeah no worries. I was mid post and thinking to myself "I don't really like or want to understand the salary cap stuff why am I even posting about it?" So it was more a note to myself rather than anyone in particular
