I think you guys are underestimating the impact of COVID and associated revenue losses on the FA market. I think few non-contending teams will spend their MLEs. If I’m right, the available options will be a tick better than you guys are forecasting (though obviously there still won’t be game-changing talent available).
How the C’s use their tMLE depends on whether Theis is back. If he’s not, they have to replace him with some sort of stretch 5, which probably means they need to bring back Wanamaker, since the tMLE will be spoken for and a backup PG they bring in for league minimum will likely be worse than BW. Fortunately, they don’t need to play in the wing market — everyone (except possibly Semi) will be back, and they need to give Langford some minutes.
