Lol new york
New York is really really ed
I actually think ATL is doing New York a favor.
These are not the exact figures, but If the Hawks does sign JJ for a max deal, I would imagine it would be close to it.
2010-2011 - $16,224,600
2011-2012 - $17,928,183
2012-2013 - $19,631,766
2013-2014 - $21,335,349
2014-2015 - $23,038,932
2015-2016 - $24,742,515
Total - $122,901,345
The Hawks are really going to start hating themselves after the 2012-2013 season. I thought most GM's learned a lesson from the Rashard Lewis deal, and despite the recent talks about owners losing money, you see like this.
lol 6 years max, i thought they saw him in the last two playoffs...
Knicks for Gay and Boozer
New York, New York, big city of dreams
But everything in New York ain't always what it seems.
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I know my way around.
that er needs to stick with the hawks. They have been puting up with his bs for a while now.
on a championship caliber team he's a 3rd option. on a pretty decent/good team he can be a 1/2 option... like the Hawks.
think this is a tad much for him. he is kinda old for a 2 guard.

motha ya whole jurisdiction
So is Atlanta to pay him that much.
Then what does that make Roddy Beaubois, the 7th man on a championship caliber team?
Solid move by Atl. This solidifies their status as basically a second round bye for one of the East's top two seeds for the next half decade.
is it possible that new york will get no one?
3rd option in 2 years
wade / dirk / beaubois staacked
3rd option in 2 years
lol
Take this with a grain of salt btw, like 3 days ago AJC was saying this:
"Johnson reportedly willing to accept less money to play for Knicks"
http://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-ha...to-558794.html
So whatever happened to Lebron to Dallas?
new york will get someone. they will probably give the near max to boozer and resign david lee. but
Had the exact same thought.
Knicks 2010 FA Plans:
Plan A: LeBron and Bosh for the max
Plan B: Amare and JJ for the max
Plan C: Boozer and Gay for the max
Plan D: Not sure, but I think it involves TMac
Once again the front office is proving their stupididty, yes JJ is a very good player. But a max contract?? God, things are gunna get really ugly...
There's going to be a lot of teams with financial problems after this free agency. The only two players worth the max this time around are Wade and Lebron IMO. But teams are going to open up their wallets big time this summer because they've been saving for years and won't leave empty handed even though they lost out on the best players. In the Hawks case, they're going to pay big to keep JJ because they know they'll get nothing to replace him.
What about your source that said there was a 76ers Timberwolves trade pending in November? Are negotiations still going on?
Pretty much.
This is just plain ol' re ed.
I'd love to hear the better alternatives teams like Atlanta and Phoenix have. People talk about how they're dumb to overpay players who prevent them from being a lottery team as if they could have signed Lebron if they wanted to but instead signed Joe Johnson or Amare.
