2017 NBA Manifesto
Ersan Ilyasova
PF, 6’10, 235lbs, 30 years old, 9 years of experience
Usual Ilyasova year; plenty of charges taken, good stretch big shooting, high IQ, nothing fancy and not much in between. The evolution of the NBA, with its focus on stretching the floor and rotation-heavy defensive schemes, somewhat suits him, and his midseason addition plugged a significant hole in the roster. Resources on the team might be too limited to bring him back, but if he took slightly less or roughly the same amount he just played for, he would be a good retention.
Player Plan: Expiring $8.4 million contract. If Millsap is retained, his Bird rights be-come useful and he is a good candidate for being re-signed in a similar price range. That price range is the non-taxpayer MLE price range and feasible for him, but using his Bird rights, he can be re-signed without needing to use it, which allows that asset to be used elsewhere.
