It was a non-exclusive tag placed on Scherff...

Means other teams can talk to him..... interesting

Pulled from story on CBS Sports:

The team originally announced that it had placed the exclusive tag on its star guard, but later clarified that Scherff has instead received the non-exclusively tag.

Using the non-exclusive version of the tag means that Scherff is free to negotiate a contract with other teams. If and when he agrees to terms, Washington will have the right to match that contract or else receive draft-pick compensation in exchange in the form of two first-round picks.

Why would someone offer Scheriff a contract and risk two 1st rounders? Another guy that has missed quite a few games the last couple years.

They can negotiate a compromise trade, doesn't have to be 2 firsts....

.... also the tender is less for the non-exclusive tag

[EdmundDorf]

More likely that they are close to a deal and this is a place holder until the cba result becomes clear... the result, either way, alters the cap outlook

Also they could be wanting a one year deal to see if he can be counted on health wise.

That seemed way high to me, didn't make sense, but I pretty much know next to nothing about how player contracts work, so I just believe what I read.
