$9.5M player option.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Reportedly opted out to seek a payday and long-term security. Doubt the Spurs have a chance with him.

[TimmehC]

^ We already have a much cheaper version of him in Kawhi. No reason to pursue this guy, especially with the kind of money he's looking for.

[elemento]

No doubt in my mind he is looking for a Jefferson type of contract. And I am sure he will get it. He deserves it more than Dick Jefferson tbh

[The_Worlds_finest]

Nope

[timvp]

Wallace got 4-year, $40 million. That's a whole lot of money for a 30-year-old with an injury history who relies on his athleticism extensively.

[timtonymanu]

Terrible contract. Brooklyn is going to regret giving him that. Then again, the offers so far in this offseason have been ludicrous.

:lol GM's didn't learn a damn thing from the lockout apparently.

[BatManu20]

Nets showing why they're the Nets, giving him $40 million.

[AFBlue]

He's not terribly skilled, but he's effective on both ends of the floor and plays hard. I'm not saying that's worth $10M/yr for the next four, but it's not Asik at $8M. I mean, at least the guy is productive now.

Plus, I think the Nets want an even halfway competent player on the roster in case DWill really goes to Dallas.

I heard Donnie Nelson, Rick Carlisle and even Findog are gonna talk to him.
