6 years 60 mill for either nene or wilcox is insane.
"Because negotiations between the Sonics and restricted free agent Chris Wilcox stalled earlier this week, the sides are exploring sign-and-trade possibilities, the rhetoric is becoming terse and the likelihood that contract talks will end unfavorably for both sides grows stronger each day."
"The longer it drags on, we will come to the point of no return where Chris will not look back and will no longer want to be in Seattle," said Jeff Fried, the Washington, D.C.-based agent for Wilcox. "Since it appears that the Sonics are unwilling to give Chris his fair-market value, we're looking at other options."
"According to one NBA source, as many as nine teams have contacted the Sonics about Wilcox, but general manager Rick Sund has declined to seriously entertain each offer."
"Golden State is believed to be the latest team to inquire about Wilcox, but discussions with Seattle ended quickly because the Sonics are hoping to land an All-Star forward in return."
"Many believed the Sonics would offer Wilcox the six-year, $42 million deal they extended Vladimir Radmanovic last year, but Seattle's offer was slightly lower because only a few teams have the salary-cap flexibility to aggressively pursue the 6-foot-10 power forward."
"Given their favorable position, the Sonics offered Wilcox considerably less than Denver's six-year, $60 million deal with Nene on Sunday, which seemed to set the market for power forwards."

They want an All-Star forward back???
Wilcox played good for like 25 games. I don't understand why he thinks he deserves 10 mil a year.
Boy that's a tough one.They want an All-Star forward back???
Duncan or Wilcox?
Dirk or Wilcox?
Bosh or Wilcox?
Elton Brand or Wilcox?
Hmmm... that's a poser.
Contract year.
He has a 26/24 game and now he thinks he's worth waaaaay more then he is. Jesus these guys are ridiculous.
Phoenix was interested and Seattle told them they wanted Shawn Marion back in return.
Wilcox is a ing tool if he thinks he deserves 50-60 mill.
He'll take the money and then go back to his Clipper days. 6pts. and 5reb.

Wilcox can throw down some spectacular dunks, but thats all he's good for.
trust me, i've been on the wrong end of a couple
uve been on the wrong end on more than a couple from everyone even finley
Remember Jerome James from the same Seattle Sonics who had a good playoff run and got a huge contract from the Knicks and road the bench all year. Teams wont fall for this again by signing him to fat contract, However his value is much higher then James in my opinion
A week ago, it appeared the two sides were moving closer to a deal as they settled on a length of three years. Agreeing on financial terms, however, has been far trickier.
The Sonics are believed to have offered between $18 million and $21 million, while Wilcox wants about $27 million.
Neither side is expected to budge, which means Wilcox is likely to unhappily sign a one-year tender and become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
And you wouldn't take Artest over Marion? I hope you're kidding.
what does artest do better than marion other than defend?
