I wonder who's next?
Well, that's one target out of the way.
This forum is gonna go on Kaman watch soon, especially now that Pacers look like they are gonna sign Hibberts.
Thankfully that's over. $13.2 million, even with a partial guarantee, is pretty ludicrous. I would have been fine with something like $7 million over two years but that's about as high as the Spurs should have gone.
Now hopefully the Spurs move on to Diaw and possibly see if the ink is dry on Lorbek's contract.
Wow. $10M for two years? Uh, yeah, no the Spurs shouldn't have matched that.David Aldridge: Camby's three-year, $13M deal is partially guaranteed for third year, per source, so will either be two years/$10M or three/$13M.
Way to expensive. No way Spurs would have payed him that.
Knicks
10 million for old man Camby
won't play 35 games over that two year span
Well, the question is Diaw the only option for the MLE and is he worth having around for several years?
What do you think? Obviously if it's Diaw or nothing I'd want Diaw but do you think it's smart to sign him to the full MLE?Well, the question is Diaw the only option for the MLE and is he worth having around for several years?
Is it a coincidence that the Spurs signed Green directly after Camby decided to sign with the Knicks? Probably not.
Maybe if Green contract was (1) dependent on the pool of money from the MLE (but its not); or (2) there was a framework for a S&T?
Camby is too expensive considering his age.
I think so - but I think the FO was going for bringing back the rotation players.
You can't throw away the next two years (assuming Tim signs for that long + the fact they got to the WCF and aren't really losing anyone of note), but I am weary of giving Diaw 4 years (I don't care about the market price for bigs). Tough call - depends on 1) Do the Spurs think that with training camp and a full season, this team has more headroom - because if not, if you don't think you can beat LA/OKC...it might be hard to justify giving him the full MLE.
If it's 3 years or less for Diaw, I think it's automatic (if it's the MLE salary), if it's four years, I think you have to go another direction (get someone different/younger) or go cheaper and keep your cap space.
I guess we'll find out the backup plan from the Spurs soon.
Good. Keeps him away from the Spurs - not that they could've afforded him at the price.
THat's too much damn money for an end-of-career big, who tends to be a bit injury prone, as older players often are.
Camby and Garnett's contacts tell me this league's GMs feel the crop of defensive big men sucks.
What the will it take for those defensive youngins to crop up like they were in the 90s
