The Spurs need outside shooting and depth on the frontcourt and Markkanen seems to fit both those needs, but how much is San Antonio willing to overpay him to snag him from the Bulls. He’s a versatile forward who hasn’t seemingly reached his full potential. Oubre is unrestricted, but looking at a deal around $22 million per season. Markkanen is restricted and likely to get a deal around $15-18 million per season. Other options at forward include Chicago’s Lauri Markkanen and Golden State’s Kelly Oubre Jr. He is expected to land a lucrative deal around $28 million per season. Collins is a restricted free agent, meaning the Hawks have 48 hours to match. I would imagine San Antonio still sends him a max offer sheet. For weeks, it appeared San Antonio would be in the mix to sign Hawks forward John Collins, but recent reports indicate he is leaning toward staying with Atlanta. The San Antonio Spurs forward will reportedly hit the open market yet again as he will decline his player option for the 2018-19 season, according to. Let’s take a look at who San Antonio has been linked to in free agency outside the current roster. Rudy Gay is becoming a free agent once again.
