    To be fair, it wasn't his fault Atlanta panicked and made Joe Johnson synonymous with albatross contracts. Amare leaving for the only coached he loved (and picking up an albatross contract in the process) was probably his fault too.

    Really, it shows how good Nash was that his teammates were all eventually overpaid.
    You really have no idea what you're talking about.

    First, it was his fault fault JJ got that contract. JJ's agent proposed a very reasonable extension offer a year earlier and Sarver responded with something like, "You want your next contract, go earn it!" Well, JJ earned it and Sarver was too cheap to leave up to his word. The contract he just signed is albatross, but JJ kept up a high level of play during the 5 year contract he signed with Atlanta that Sarver didn't match.

    Also, the "only coach he ever loved" thing is total GNSF bull . Amare has made countless public comments indirectly criticizing D'antoni, and Amare gave the Suns the chance to match the Knicks offer (at a small discount). He signed with the Knicks because they offered him $40,000,000 more in guaranteed money than the Suns did.

    Anyway, you, in typical GNSF fashion, lack reading comprehension skills and completely butchered the point of my post. My post was talking about how Sarver was raving about possibly having franchise tags to help him keep free agents while having no in idea how a franchise tag worked. A franchise tag enables you to match any offer another team gives, something he had the choice to do with both JJ and Amare but elected not to do. Point being, a franchise tag would have done jack for him in either situation and he was just talking out of his ass. Franchise tags don't help owners who are too cheap to give players their market value, they help owners like Dan Gilbert, not Robert Sarver.

    I love Dwill but a max deal does seem a bit much in the New CBA

    Like ylab1 said, it doesn't really matter. Cuban's gonna have to pay whatever it takes to get him otherwise he'll look like a giant dumbass

    Deron would only give a discount to Dallas.

    Even if he did what I proposed or added something major (Bynum ) the following year too?

    Deron for the max isn't the worst contract in the world. He's not nearly as bad as some of you make it sound. He's had a cast around him, with Dirk I could see him shine again.

    if they got bynum sure, but i dont see them being able to afford 2 max contracts. deron needs to come here for what he's actually worth if we are going to have any flexibility to work with.

    They never could afford 2 max contracts with Dirk making the money he does - It is the same drill if Dwight/Deron were to ever come - they would have to take less than max (15-18M per year each).

    What about KG, JaVale McGee...You pair Dirk and Deron with them plus based Rod and not so bad (doesn't make up for blowing the team up IMO, but definitely has potential).

    right they would BOTH have to compromise...meaning that if we offer deron the max, you can rest assured that neither dwight nor bynum are going to volunteer to "compromise" enough for the both of them

    I'm interested in KG. what i'd like to do is offer deron about 4 yrs/60 million, sign kg to a 1 year, and then make a play at bynum next year. in a perfect world of course, just my pipedream.

    That would be ideal, but I can't see KG signing if it's not a 3+ year deal. But in a perfect world, that bridges things as best as you could reasonably hope if you don't get Dwight (gives you a shot next year and beyond).

    nobody is giving kg a 3 year deal, he's 36 years old a 3 year deal would be re ed. i might can see someone giving him 2 years, but holy i'm tired of being TOSB we need to get younger, not older.

    You'd be surprised. KG still played well and it might be worth it to a team to give him a 3 year deal. I don't think it's likely, but that is what I think it would take to pry him away from Boston.

    yeah he found the fountain of youth this season but the thing is, once you get waaaaay up there in age, even one more decent year is far from guaranteed. look what happened to hakeem.

    couldn't afford 3 maxes even under the old CBA, need at least one of them or two, if not all to accept paycuts to make the great thing happen tbh, and that's exactly what miami did two years ago but you aint duplicating in dallas. if they both join us as FA's s would have to accept something far below the max standard in order to play together in dallas, due to the fact that dirk already makes 20+ m/yr and his salary can't be cut down under the new CBA

    tripe D dynasty = pipedream
