He's really impressed me this year. I thought he was pretty much value-less early on but he's improved significantly on both sides of the ball and is just a pretty good all-around player at this point. This year's free agency is going to be so tricky though. These are the only teams currently expected to have enough cap space to offer more than the $12.5 million cap hold:

Atlanta - roughly $30 mil in space
Brooklyn - roughly $14 mil in space
Dallas - roughly $17 mil in space
Indiana - roughly $32 mil in space
Lakers - roughly $60 mil in space
Philly - roughly $23 mil in space

Atlanta doesn't really make sense with John Collins there.
Brooklyn makes some sense
Dallas could make sense but I think they're aiming higher.
Indiana probably doesn't make sense given the presence of Thaddeus Young, Sabonis, and TJ Leaf.
Philly doesn't really make sense.

Brooklyn seems like the only real threat to me; MAYBE Dallas if they strike out on their other targets. That's why I think the qualifying offer might be an attractive option to him. He'd be unrestricted the following year and there will likely be a lot more money to go around.

If they're theoretically bringing in Lebron and Kawhi/PG13, I wouldn't hestitate to attach Brandon Ingram to him to get the contract off the books and make it happen.
