You could offer a contract below market value in certain circumstances and probably get them to sign. When a team is already over the cap and they have two former first round picks available you could throw them the Barrett Hayton contract (he of 0.3 PPG last year) of around 2.65 million a year or something similar and pick up a guy who is two years younger and averaged 0.28 PPG in the playoffs. You could probably offer that player 300K a year less than Hayton and possibly get him.
