Last summer I argued that there was little risk in waiting to extend Diaw because there was so little likelyhood that any team would offer more than the Suns could match. If anything this summer is even worse to be an RFA (Restricted Free Agent) than I projected.
Unless I'm missing something, there have been no RFA offers from other teams so far this summer. Anderson Varejao has had some interest from teams like the Griz, but, nothing has come of it. Andray Blatche's name comes up, but there are no reports of direct negotiations let alone signings.
As it is, there are not many teams with cap space left; Charlotte and Milwaukee being the only two and neither seems like great prospects for making a "you won't match this" offer to either guy.The growing reluctance of teams to overpay RFA's may be due to the best guys being already taken off the market through extensions. But it could be that teams don't like the economics.
