Remember when people said $10M/year was too much for KEVIN GARNETT??

It's amazing how 12/8/2 can get you the max.


Not even a double-double and he's getting the max. Dude didn't even shoot over 50%

that noah contract is lovely

Anybody who says Pau ain't worth shyt is full of shyt. Dude would average 20/10 easy in the Eastern Conference. 17/10 on 50% shooting this season playing with Bynum.

What type of money is he looking for? Id see the celts giving him a one or two yr deal to show if that heart problem isnt a problem. But I def hope celts fans havent forgotten about that ugly series he had against the heat tho

he wants 8-9 million a year.

the length of the contract is too much at his age should have had a T/O

Indy can match with a 5yr/$79m deal

If they match though wouldn't get that, he would get whatever the Blazers deal is which would be 4 yr/$58M

He is young & over 7 foot

If he sucks in the 3rd year, just have to accept it. We'll be in rebuild mode anyway.

I wonder how much Kris Humphries is going to get paid for averaging 13/10/1.2 on 48% shooting. If he was 6'11 he'd be getting the max, but he's 6'9.

if kg start playing like trash, u can best believe he gon retire, and not just look to get money

 

[The War Report]

To be clear, RFAs can't sign offer sheets until moratorium ends July 11. Then, 3-day clock for existing team to match begins.

and they miss out on UFA in the process

Two agents with clients on the 2011-12 Utah team recently told The Salt Lake Tribune they're open to a sign-and-trade if their players don't re-sign with the Jazz. Jazz forward Paul Millsap is expected to seek a new contract worth as much or more than the four-year, $40 million deal Nets forward Gerald Wallace has reportedly agreed to.

The Knicks have had exploratory talks with Phoenix about a sign-and-trade for Steve Nash, according to an NBA source. If the Suns take back a couple of Knicks pawns, it would allow Nash to make more than the $3.09 mid-level exception the Knicks have now.

With the New Jersey Nets in talks of a potential trade with the Atlanta Hawks for Joe Johnson, the domino effect might make its way all the way to Causeway Street. The addition of Johnson could make the Nets less likely to re-sign Gerald Green, which might then open the door for a potential return to Boston for the former Celtic.
