IIRC, pipen was making around $6 mil./year at the end of the last 3 les with jordan. compare it with this situation - it makes you sick.
Good Gawd. If owners are stupid enough to throw this type of money at average players, then they deserve whatever comes to them when their franchises go belly up.
I don't remember such ridiculous contracts since Jon Koncak (SP?) got his from Atlanta years ago.
Max for Joe Johnson ?
32 Mill for Drew Gooden ? ** Even he's stunned.
Max for Rudy Gay ?

come to think of it - the smartest team might be the one that does not rush with stupid expenses - (e.g. gooden, jj, gay) - buys role-players and veterans under the market value this year - then makes a push for carmelo next year, when everyone else spent everything on lousy players.
I expected more of a wait and see mentality today. I guess teams that know they are out of the running for the big fish are taking what the can while the getting is good.
Right . . . I am " ing and complaining". Very good.
I want a S&T because that it is what would be the best deal for the Spurs. I am not operating with my own prejudices and biases clouding my judgment. Comprende?
then wouldn't you be arguing for the same thing for Tony at the trade deadline? what's the difference if you already know Tony wants to test FA and possibly walk. explain that.
ROFL ROFL ROFL
Channing ing Frye just turned down the Suns offer and wants the full MLE!
chadfordinsider
Given what Gooden & Darko got, can you blame him? RT @sooperfadeaway Channing Frye turned down Phx 5 yr 25 mill offer. Wants full mid-level
WOW!
LOL Suns. That team is funny.
lol Frye. Watch him get left on the wall and wind up with a 3.5mil per year deal.
the Blazers got close to a deal with the Hornets last week that would’ve sent Andre Miller, Joel Przybilla, Nicolas Batum, Jerryd Bayless and the 22nd pick to New Orelans for Paul and Emeka Okafor before Hornets GM Jeff Bower pulled out of the deal claiming that their owner wasn’t ready to trade Paul. ESPN.com
It's like musical chairs. There are going to be some good players left out of the payoff once the cap space starts to fill for some of these teams. Frye is an excellent example of one of these type of players.
not sure how close this was - but thank god it did not happen. are u kidding me? can u imagine paul-roy-okafor-oden playing together on the same team? assuming all are healthy - big assumption - this is no 1 or no 2 contender talent-wise.
man, i was hoping free agency would dilute talent, not gather it. still hoping for amare and boozer to switch conferences.
also, hoping for lebron to stay in cle. and wade and bosh to go to miami. that way, these teams are beatable. also, hoping that knicks get more talent than the nets, b/c the nets have a better building block.
More I think more I don't see lbj staying with cle. Why would he do that? if he stays the roster will be quite the same and this roster failed to get lbj a ring, same causes will bring same consequences in the future.
Our team made Frye look good and he's demanding the MLE.
lol scrub
Toronto Raptors have reached agreement to sign centre Amir Johnson to a five-year, $34 million deal, agent Kevin Bradbury tells Y! Sports.
Bonner's gonna want the same deal.
I guess Colangelo thought, what the , I already have 4 of the worst contracts in the NBA, let's go for five!
Amir Johnson?
W T F
lol Sham on Twitter:
$7 million a year for Amir Johnson, who hasn't played more than 17.7 mpg in any of his five seasons. Yeah. No.
Do you suppose Tony ever kicks himself and wonders if he should have let Holt keep that last 2M and just gotten a player option for the last year of contract?
damn and i though rj for 7 was enough maybe he gets 10 now rotflmao
I would have rather signed Mahinmi for 3 years worth 15 million than this.
Good god.
if I am suns I am not saying wait and see what amare does
if he bolts offer 10 million to boozer a year
