Pau re-signs for 3y, 64.7m

[KSeal]

Pass. Even for the league minimum.

Pass even for free.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's those numbers straight up. That 64.7 number was never the actual number, just what the LA times speculated. Stein says the new contract has a trader kicker though, his old contract didn't I guess.

Ah k i see, your probably right - i havent heard anything anywhere other than this thread.

Just clicked on espn.com and yahoo.com links and they both saying $57M

thats overpaying

i think had the lakers offer him what his currently on the now as the base salary he wouldve just accepted it to stay in LA

[HarlemHeat37]

They gave him as much as reasonably possible..they couldn't give him less, keep him happy enough that he'll never talk about the collusion to anybody..

The Lakers record since the league's marketing adjustment: 101-23 in regular-season games with Gasol in the lineup.
Lakers will win 3 out of the next 5 championships, minimum.

[PGDynasty24]

that figure is wrong. They confirmed that it's 3 years 58 million! change the les on. but still do what we must to keep him

unless his willing to give up winning championships and goto a scrub team for money....

[iggypop123]

money depends on how the salary cap ends up , but it will be around or less than 60.

Not bad I guess for the 2nd best player on a team that's going to be contending for les for the foreseeable future.

agreed. it's surely not overpaid for Pau given the projected extension Kobe is gonna sign, which is supposed to be around the caliber of 30m a year according to some leaked sources.
