Maybe he does. It doesn't matter. He needs to legacy hunt and he's not going to get it done there.

Yeah he's probably gone
Although I do think international players seem to place a bigger emphasis on staying with a city that makes them feel at home in another country.

Yeah my guess is he leaves. He's the best international player since Dirk right? It was easy for Dirk to stay because Dallas was a reasonable market. The bronze fonz isn't keeping Giannis in Milwaukee.

Same amount as Cristiano Felicio with better stats last year in every category. Contracts are weird.

Carter brings nothing. It's like throwing money away. Felicio is young. You can justify paying for upside at least.

Close...Dwight Howard may be an all-star again by default or Nikola Vucevic gets a nod. He's underrated in my opinion.
Robin Lopez has a shot sadly. He's the best player on the Bulls.
Brutal..but so true

I didn't know that. Insane. I'm wondering why him and Richard Jefferson(I know not making the same) are still playing. But...why the hell not? 8 mill to barely play and provide "veteran leadership" or whatever.

That veteran leadership bullshit can easily come from an assistant coach with some NBA experience.

Because if you did you would see Carter has been a solid role player the last two years. Probably not 8 million a year too but certainly worth 5-6 million on a one year deal. Have to overpay a bit if you're the Kings.
