Does Jimmy re sign? Discussion

Player option on the table...yeah he is definitely re signing but let's say he doesn't and he goes out on to the open market as a free agent and leaves for nothing, that gives Miami cap space especially going into 2026 free agency and list of free agents in 26:

  • Lillard
  • LeBron
  • Beal
  • Durant
  • Lavine
  • Trae Young
  • Doncic
  • VanVleet
  • Kyrie
  • Harden
  • SGA
  • Ayton

A long list including Jimmy

Players are going to keep getting a big reality check with the player voted addition of the salary apron. Couple players are going to turn down their options to then realize nobody can afford them anymore thus signing a cheaper vet deal.

We are at a point where if the player wants 50+mil and is 35 or older they better just opt into their player option.
