A 38-year-old veteran connector and locker-room glue guy — the kind of high-IQ passer and floor-spacer teams keep around for the intangibles. With no 2025-26 sample to grade, he's a deep-bench presence and mentor more than a rotation piece at this stage of his career.

Contract value2026-27: worth $2.9M
Unsigned, so there is no 2026-27 salary to measure against. This is roughly what his play would fetch on the open market.

Current deal: through '26. On the contract row the flat dashed line is this salary, so the gap to the 2026-27 forecast is the surplus.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
