This one is for the collective bargaining experts:
Both will be RFAs. Even if C's don't really want these guys back, we need to make an initial qualifying offer to retain the right to match other teams offers and/or retain rights to do a sign and trade.
If a qualifying offer is not made, I believe they immediately become UFAs. And we all need to remember that their cap holds will be much higher than the actual qualifying offers.
My question is when must C's make offer? Before July 1, during early July moratorium or after moratorium?
Keep in mind C's have until July 3 to pick up Amir and Jonas's team options. If Durant, etc are taking meetings with several teams there could be several high profile UFA's not committed by July 3rd - it will be very interesting to see how the C's approach these 2 team option decisions with a lot of balls still up in the air come July 3rd.
Thoughts?
