I read the description and agree. Could be any team with cap space, so I preface with...I'm just going off CHI's history because while I read CHI is a placeholder...it's a likely spot for a dump. Let's just see what it'll cost.
Josh Bailey is the recent comp. There are plenty before him, but recency matters too. JB cost a 2nd round pick to spend $2,333,333M over 2 years. Mantha will cost $6.5M. (assuming the buyout window is closed and can't be reopened with arb filing etc...)
25 points 64 games and 44 points in 74 games the year prior.
27 points in 67 games and 23 in 37 games the prior year. Extrapolated mean 46 points in 74 games.
Over 2 years pretty much the same.
I think this is why he's still with WAS and likely will stay there. I'd agree with the argument that a 28 year old Mantha with something to prove looking for another contract has more motivation than a 33 JB, but motivation and injury history don't link too much.
I'll admit I was previously willing to take the BOS 2025 2nd for Mantha. With how expensive dumps have been lately. I'm now thinking it'll costs (2) 2nds, but it could also be more because there are less teams to available with the cap space to afford to take him on.
