These guys don’t deserve raises quite big after a nice 6 win streak. Fans are giddy and we want to keep the team but reality is league gets better, these guys get older. There are other “castoffs” to be had and we have picks coming in, and yoot to either play or cut loose.
Nobody saw this coming and at the same time nobody can see what’s next either. Enjoy the season.
Lock up Noel long term, trade Mitch for picks, lock up one of the two Bullock or Burks whoever agrees to a 2 year deal at reasonable money

But we need to keep as many of them as possible. 1 year overpays, or multi-year underpays are obviously most ideal. What those numbers are, I don't have a clue. The core is Randle, Barrett, and Quickley in my opinion, but the guys you mentioned are so critical. It would be a shame to let some of them go and lose what makes this team what it is.
After watching him— are u sure some team won’t give Gibson a 1-2 year 5-6 mm per?
It's weird, Gibson is playing at the same level as he had been doing last year and got no offers. Maybe he wanted to stick with NY?
We got Gibson for the same reason we were able to sign Wallace, Thomas and Camby in 2013 at cheap money. He’s old and GMs assumed he was done
If Taj doesn't turn into the next Herb we should all protest
1. I see posts like sign one of Bullock or Burks. They're not the same player.
Out of Burks and Bullock Reggie is most valuable versatile guy he always guards the best player for the other team.
We survived most of the year without Burks. Burks is a bench player. Bullock is a starter.
Priority is Bullock.
2.
Mitch is better than Noel (and under contract). Noel is better than Gibson. Gibson is better than Pelle. But the theme is Centers are easier to replace. There is no priority here. Get the best value you can out of this mix for 48 minutes. If it means letting Noel go, so be it. We can replace him. If it means trading Mitch, so be it, we can sign Noel.
There is no center priority between Mitch and Noel just get the best value return. But no matter what Gibson is the backup C.

We have a ton of cash to spend. These three guys must be retained they are Thibs veteran backbone team identity glue guys.
Reggie can be offered 10-12mil which is a little more than twice his current salary.
Rose. 8-10mil which is a small raise from his current salary.
Gibson 4-6mil which is a small raise from his current salary.
Basically take Noah's stretch money he got this year and give it to the above three guys.
4.
Burks is the guy we can afford to let walk away and so is one of Mitch or Noel. But in reality it won't break the bank to bring them all back.
