Dennis got a lil bit more but he also had ties to the Raptors’ coach in addition to being guaranteed a starting spot, while he would be off the bench here. We also didn’t want to give Dennis the full MLE for cap purposes (smart)
We probably talked to Lonnie about a min but he saw AR, Dlo, Max, Gabe, etc in front of him in the rotation, and ofc all praise for staying ready last season but he probably didn’t want to do that again. Nets probably said we’ll give you more chances to play and aim for a bigger contract.
No, you’re right, just in other ways
