    sons I must admit that I am not thrilled about this signing.

    Obviously it is great that we re-signed him, but I am concerned with the very short term commitment. I was expecting him to sign a 5 year extension. It's all good though. New Orleans showed the world last year that we are now FINALLY a legit NBA city that can pack the house any given night. Hopefully Paul isn't taking advice from his boy Lebron and thinking of jumping ship to a bigger market team in 3 years.
    my goodness, whose the chick in your banner?

    Had the Hornets prevailed over the Spurs in game 7, I GUARANTEE that you would have hated Chris Fall by the end of any Lakers/Hornets series. I bought the hype and drank the league kool-aid about him, but the plain fact is that he's an immature punk who ran off the floor rather than man up and shake hands with the winners. He's talented, but mentally about 14 years old.

    oh please you big, dumb .... enjoy your STORE BOUGHT championship because the Celtics will be the Miami Heat within the next year or two.

    Name calling and bought les card.
    No mention of the name son.

    Dont be defensive SON. Paul is the best pg and one of the best players in the league hands down. He is still an immature arrogant prick who needs to be a tad bit more humble. Byron Scott is an arrogant prick just as well.

    You want to know something else son? Paul Pierce and others on the Celts are arrogant pricks as well.

    Hornets need depth and some humble pie to take that next step. You know that as well.

    Getting eliminated early in the playoffs apparently doesn't humble most NBA players. KG and Paul Pierce were (and continued to be in these playoffs) obnoxious, arrogant, jersey popping, chest pumping, wolf howling pricks long before they won the le this summer, despite their playoff failures.

    I wont deny any of the Celts players being pricks. Just about every team has their share of them.

    Pistons arent known for being humble either. They are sore losers who only give partial credit to the team they were eliminated by. I respect what they have achieved, but they are still that.

    All in all, my team has it's share of pricks but so does 98% of the league. I was labeling Chris Paul exactly what he is. I'd like to see him humbled a little and I am sure he will be. He may not show it directly, but deep down inside he will have to be a tad bit more humble in order to take that next step. KG/Pierce are still arrogant pricks but they have been somewhat humbled even if you dont see it.


    Im also a fan of the team who owns all when it comes to poor sportsmanship and lack of class (Patriots).

    Is it it possible to earn 20mil+ a year on your first contract after the rookie scale.
    No, not in your first year... unless the Salary Cap was $80m

    A team can only give a player up to 25% of the Salary Cap in his first year... and then 10.5% increases.

    So a max deal like CP3, will be paying just under $15m (little bit less)

    The importance of the distinction is to understand how much his annual salary is. If it's $68 million for three years plus an option for a fourth year, then that's well over $20 million a year, and the total value of the contract probably is closer to $90 million. If it's a four year deal for $68 with a player option for the last year, then it's $68 million over four years (which makes more sense) and CP3's extension probably starts somewhere in the neighborhood of $15-16 million... again, making more sense.

    The distinction does need to be made even though you want to sound like it doesn't matter.

    edit: I think the Picayune writer just had it misprinted or didn't really understand how NBA contracts/extensions work when there's an option.
    The $68m is over the 4 years. The Hornets are garuanteeing him all 4 years, its his discresion whether to take it or not.

    For a max deal a team can only offer a player a salary startinh at up to 25% of the Salary Cap and then 10.5% increases each year.

    To make things easier, if we say this years Salary Cap will be $60m then a deal for a max contract, as in CP3 case would be;

    Year 1 - $15m (25% of the cap)
    Year 2 - $16.5m (+10.5%)
    Year 3 - $18.15m (+10.5%)
    Year 4 - $19.965m) (+10.5%)

    That comes in at $69.615m, which is if the cap was at $60m.

    Being that it will probably be at about $59m, adjusting each year you get right on $68m
