Just thought I would mention that MU has slowly created the following scenario (Acy, Amir, Aaron, KL obviously non MU pieces)
Austin Daye - 2 years 2nd year non guaranteed.
Amir Johnson - 2 years 2nd year non guaranteed.
Aaron Gray - 1 year expiring
DJ Augustin - 1 year expiring
Quincy Acy - 2 years 2nd year non guaranteed
Dwight Buycks - 2 years 2nd year non guaranteed
Tyler Hansbrough - 2 years 2nd year non guaranteed
Kyle Lowry - 1 year expiring
Q-Rich - 3 years 2nd and 3rd year not guaranteed
Rudy - 2 years (2nd year player option)
Only DeMar Novak, JV, Ross and Landry are guaranteed beyond this seasonFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

I'm cool with this signing. He's a stretch 4, which the team lacked so he brings some more versatility to the lineup. He had a .531 TS% last year and shot .418 3pt%. He also shot .765 FT%. So a pretty good shooter. Those who said he is a better version of Bargs are spot on. He rebounds slightly better than Bargs, and is a much better shot blocker. We needed more shooters so why not? He's young, cheap, and can easily earn that contract. In addition, he might turn into a long term role player off the bench since he is young enough to grow with this squad. Glad to see Ujiri taking chances on guys like this instead of junk like John Lucas or Caron Butler.

Perception of age in terms of young/old is subjective. The league average is 26.7 years.

All of Masai's signings have been like this. Augustin: if he returns to form he's a bargain, if not, whatever. Buycks: a rookie find with real upside and if he doesn't pan out, not a big deal. Psycho T was clearly underpriced so he'll get some minutes and then, most likely, some team thinking he's worth double his current salary and needing a solid backup big will call, and if we don't need him we'll get some quality trade value from him.

As a note, 2M for 2 years is literally the minimum for a player with his experience. Could not have spent less on him. Especially considering the 2nd unguaranteed year.
And a note for the list of unguaranteed contracts someone posted above - Amir's contract is guaranteed for 5 of his 7 M next year - no way they waive him to save 2 M.

Masai signs contracts with the intent of creating flexibility. Literally every contract signed since he got here has been been fair, to below market value, high upside, low risk, high reward, easily moveable deals. If two out (Daye, Augustin, Buycks, Novak, Hansbrough, or Richardson) either find their form, regain their form, or settle in to a role we win.For still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar
