Yes I get everyone's point about irreplaceable asset and we're capped out blah blah blah. All I know is we can't give away THJ at $17m. Signing JB at $28m puts a hard ceiling on our squad.

How exactly does it put a hard ceiling on anything? Whether you pay him 17 or 30, whether you pay him nothing at all and let him walk. It has literally zero effect on our ability to sign free agents or conduct trades. So, worst case scenario, we're stuck with a bad contract for a few years. Every team in the league has bad contracts.
