Bleacher report said 25-26.


Yeah, an achilles is just assumed to be a year recovery. Since it happened in the last game of the season, there isn't any reason to think he'll be back. Maybe he makes a miraculous recovery and gets back for a playoff run but there's no reason to expect it.

Atleast they're opening up the checkbook.
If they stick together, they are VERY capable of rattling off more titles.
They'll have this core together for a bit but will have to start making the tough decisions next summer (Wallace/Dort/Hartenstein player options) and the following summer once all three max extensions are kicked in. Lucky for them they have tons of assets to keep making moves and keep cost controlled talent around that core three. Holmgren is the big gamble thought IMO. His health is a question and also, not sure if he's actually max player good.

I like Dort's game a lot. He's a grinder.

Way up there
He'll be getting 14 mil from Portland and 22.5 mil from the Bucks next year, two teams paying a guy with no expectation to play. Seems like a nice deal for Portland.

He’s getting $55mil from the bucks the next two years, so he’ll be knocking down about $70mil per year the next two seasons. The $22mil is just the cap hit the bucks take for the next five seasons to stretch the $110mil they still owed him.

Player option on that third year as well so if he bounces back he could opt out and cash in a little more. If not, another $14mil in his pocket regardless.
