    sorry if already posted. Grizzles offers 46 millons for 5 years.

    NBA: MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES OFRECE 46 MILLONES EN CINCO AÑOS POR NOCIONI

    Chapulín verde

    El general manager de los Grizzlies vino al país y se lo dijo a Chapu. Los Bulls ofertaron 40 y se cree que no podrán igualarla. ¿Se muda?

    "Espejito, espejito, ¿es verdad la oferta?", consulta. Está bien en Chicago pero iría a Memphis.

    Apenas habían pasado 14 días desde su asunción como nuevo general manager de los Grizzlies cuando Chris Wallace se jugó su primera gran carta. El domingo se tomó un avión para la Argentina para hablar personalmente con Andrés Nocioni y preguntarle si le gustaría jugar en Memphis en los próximos años. El directivo estuvo sólo un día en el país y se fue conforme. Le expuso a Chapu que la idea de los Grizzlies es no desprenderse de Pau Gasol, su estrella, a quien convencieron de quedarse diciéndole que irían por el santafesino y luego también por su amigo Juan Carlos Navarro (se desvinculó de Barcelona) y el base griego Theodoros Papaloukas. ¿Pasarán a llamarse los EuroGrizzlies?

    Chapu, que viajó especialmente desde General Pico, se reunió con Wallace en el restaurante Piegari durante el mediodía del lunes y le respondió que en Chicago está muy cómodo en todo sentido pero que no se cierra a nada pero que le gusta la idea de Memphis. Noce no cerró ninguna puerta porque notó que Wallace llegó con mucha decisión y le aseguró que el plan de la franquicia es ofrecer 46 millones por cinco temporadas, cifras que pasarían a ser el mejor salario anual para un argentino (ver Más que...).

    Nocioni es agente libre con restricciones. Eso quiere decir que si bien está libre y puede recibir ofertas de cualquier equipo, los Bulls tiene el derecho de igualar ofertas (tienen 15 días para hacerlo) y así quedarse con el jugador. Chicago ya hizo su movida: ofreció cerca de 40 millones por cinco años. Pero se le complicará mucho si los Grizzlies oficializan la oferta de 46 que hicieron verbalmente. John Paxson, general manager de los Bulls, repitió que valora mucho a Chapu y que igualará propuestas ("No perdemos así nomás a un jugador así", opinó), pero es muy difícil que puedan estirarse hasta los 46. Ocurre que Ben Gordon y Luol Deng, figuras que están por sobre Nocioni en la consideración de los Bulls por su talento y edad, tienen que renovar durante esta temporada y no serán nada baratos... Y a los Bulls no les queda tanto dinero en el tope salarial luego de la apuesta que hicieron por Ben Wallace.

    Los Grizz, que casi mandan a Gasol a los Bulls, hicieron una gran avanzada. ¿Chicago dará pelea o Chapu se mudará a Memphis?

    How does this mean he is not coming to SA? Who said he would sign a contract to go play for Memphis no matter the money. I don't expect us to offer a contract to Nocioni b/c we either want Chicago to do a sign and trade with us or have Chicago match any other team's offer and they can still deal him to us. Nocioni could easily sign a contract for 2 million less a year and be dealt to us.

    What? They are this desperate to get basically a spot-up shooter and a tough defender in Nocioni?

    I don't see how either team got better. I guess Hill is a good addition to the Suns but how is he going to make it out of the first quarter with those knees. 10 Sun games equals 82 Orlando games.

    Unreal that the Grizzlies offered that much money for Noc. I mean he is a good player but 9 mil a year? WOW! But those guys are desperate I guess. Tehy need to get Gasol help . We'll see what pans out on the 11th. Being a RFA Chicago can SNT him or simply match. I don't think they would just let him walk.

    Think about this for a sec.The spurs wanted to draft Noc.
    somebody scrwed up and got fired.....
    Not many people get fired for not signing or drafting a non impacting player.
