According to this study done on the cost of retention: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/2023-trade-deadline-countdown-which-teams-will-be-third-party-money-brokers
This is the cost of 3rd party retention:
1st Round Pick: $800,000+
2nd Round Pick: $650,000
3rd Round Pick: $500,000
4th Round Pick: $350,000
5th Round Pick: $185,000
6th Round Pick $125,000
7th Round Pick: $100,000<
The trade deadline leaves roughly 1/3rd of the season to be played. Half of one third of Tanev's salary is roughtly $742K in actual cash salary. Putting the cost of retention for him in the area of a 2nd round pick.
Thanks for the generous offer, though. Good talk!
