I wish we could see players in action before extending Thuney. It might be beneficial to let Thuney play under the FT this year and trade him in the off-season *if* we have a viable guy to step in at LG.
For me, I'd extend Thuney now and grab the cap space. We're going to need it, and there's only so many Burkhead-type deals we can do. He's not the type of player who is going to fall off a cliff once he's been paid.
Shaq Mason has to know that he's on the hot seat this season after his performance last year. If he puts in another average season, it'd be tough to keep him at his salary in 2021, and cutting him next year won't have the same dead-cap implications - it'd be net-positive.
