Maggette was never taking MLE money.

Not too bright are you? His money would be guaranteed. Last I checked 24>15.
Since Ludden is out Yahoo has been killing EN. I prefer to wait a little more
Seriously,
If the Spurs give 5 years to RJ, regardless of the $, I may start rooting for another team
Don't blame me if I do
If RJ signs a 3 year 30M deal, he is not that bright.
He gave up 15M guaranteed. So basically he is saying he could not have got a 3 year deal in FA next year worth 5M per year? Seems kind of odd. I think he easily gets that.
A deal with the Spurs would have to be for more to make financial sense.
Math check. He would have needed a 2yr/15M to make things equal.
15 is for 1 year and 24 is for 3 years, he can't make more than 9 mil in the next 2 years?
Not too bright are you? His money would be guaranteed. Last I checked 24>15.
This is what I'am saying. He didn't opt out to help the Spurs, he opted out to help his future. Now if both of those can happen, the Spurs will do it.
He wouldn't be signing a 2 year deal. He would likely be signing a 3 year + deal of guaranteed money.
His value wouldn't likely change much from this year to next imo.
So he has to say, how would I make more money:
30M this next 3 years and at the end of that what kind of new contract?
or
15M this year + what ever contract as a FA next year.
1/15 plus 3/15 is 4/30.
3/30 is better than 4/30
That is why I believe the 5 year/45 million dolllar deal is the most realistic deal for both sides. Especially if the last year in the deal is partially guaranteed.
That is if the minimum he got was 5M per year.
I think he easily clears 30M over the next 3 years if he is paid 15M this year. So why do this?
I like 3 years 24 mil too. but i highly doubt RJ and his people are that stupid =/
actually the whole Maggette situation changed when Baron Davis decided to leave Golden State
He only does that if he thinks that he might not get anything near 3/30 next summer.
I have no idea what assumptions RJ and his agent are using, but they've clearly come to the conclusion that giving up 15M and getting a new deal this summer is better than collecting the 15M and getting a new deal next summer. He could be right or he could be this summer's Bonzi Wells or Latrell Spreewell. We should know the answer soon enough.
One unconfirmed report Thursday had Jefferson poised to sign a three-year, $30 million with the Spurs. Another had the terms at five years for $45 million, with the final season likely only partially guaranteed.
I am just saying, regardless of what assumptions they are making, that the deal would have to be worth more than 30M to even begin to be worth the risk of opting out of 15M this year imo.
Based on that assumption, I am dreading him re-signing with the Spurs. Dreading it. This is worst case imo.
5 more years of RJ? That would be hard to stomach... if he can't move laterally now, I wonder if he's going to even be able to turn around in 5 years...
That's fine.
Well, we've got a slight difference of opinion over how many millions make this a good deal for RJ. Either way, he'll be able to feed his entourage.
But will he be able to feed his family?
I don't give a how much they pay him as long as he figures out his role and starts showing up every night for a change.
not likely.
We need a vBookie on the Jefferson situation.
3 year, $30 million isn't too bad. In the context of whats around and what we could reasonably expect to attract, I think we will go with that.
