Very sad for the Suns, but it was obvious that some team was going to pay him that much IMO..
Frye's wife is probably the one making him wait for a better deal, he seems like the whipped type..
Reported on the radio, I'll post a link when I see it.
So they're willing to max out their MLE with a 5 year deal on a one dimensional scrub who had one good contract year and was wildly inconsistent in the playoffs, but they're only willing to offer a perennial All star who put the team on his back after the all star break a 4 year deal. lol Sarver
PS - the best part of this is, Channing Frye knows it's on the table and hasn't agreed to it yetthat stupid should be on this deal like Tyson Chandler on Ghazi's wife.

Maxed out MLE in the city he grew up in with the team he's had by far his best season with. He's not getting more than a maxed out MLE, this should be a no brainer move for him.
Maybe this is why Kerr resigned/left. He didn't want to re-sign that scrub to anything, but ownership wanted this guy for whatever reason.
Darko 4/20
JJ 6/119
Gooden 5/32
Frye at 5/25 isn't even the worst the deal of the day.
O & 43!
Kerr left because he wanted Sarver to spend money on certain people inside the organization and Sarver didn't want to. Trust me, if a GM told Sarver someone/something wasn't worth the money, Sarver isn't about to take a different stance![]()
At this rate you can just chalk 0 & 50! up on the lose-o-meter.
Not that I disagree with whether or not Frye is worthy of 5yr/$25M, but that is actually considerably less than a max MLE contract over 5 years (which would be closer to $34M).
I do not think that is a bad deal
long but not that bad
proved he can make several threes in a game
So can most people who hoop at the U of A rec center. You don't give someone a 5 year deal just because he can make open shots and do nothing else.
5 year, 25 million isn't the MAXED MLE, is it? It shouldn't be. I think Gooden's is closer to the MAXED MLE. Either way, it's definitely too much, Amare or no Amare. Why wrap up this much money in a player that isn't going to help you win in the playoffs?
I'd let Frye walk before offering him that, but it's true that it's not even close to being the worse contract offer of the day.
Dumbo & Snatch should be a fine show today, providing those GD D'Backs don't preempt them.
compared to 6/119 frye 5/25 is a bargain !
This is the first of many times where not keeping Steve Kerr really bites the team in the ass. Even from the get go when he was hired and made other mistakes, he never made the mistake so many GMs make by overreacting to 1 good year from a role player with a 5 year 25-30mil MLE contract. 9 out of 10 times, these deals come back to hurt teams well before the contract runs out. When the Lakers can get Ron Artest for the MLE that's a rare occurence, they're also the team that really regrets the MLE level deals they gave Sasha Vujacic, Vladimir Radmonovic, and Luke Walton.
You've never watched Channing Frye play if you're calling him a big man.
I've never been giddy about Channing Frye.
Yeah we can tell your broke
how about 5/12.5 since he only plays at home?
