I will say, if we do take the plunge for Lance like we just did for PJ and it blows up in our face, strong advocates of both moves (myself included) will have enough crow to survive until next off season.

If this board is any indication, they won't eat that crow quietly in a corner.

Like. I. Said. Who else wanted him? Where was this high demand for Marvin Williams than he needed $7M a year?

It doesn't exist, and even if it did, it's still too much. Where is he so great at that the stretch 4 had to be him?

I don't need to know anything to know that.

You can't say it's too much when you have no idea of what the demand actually was for him. You're acting like Cho just pulled some random number out of his ass and had no justification in offering that salary. You can't be that naive....or can you?

Kemba will ask for more and he'll get it, but it won't be here. IMO, and I really like Kemba, but that's what I think will happen.

No way Biz should or will get that money. He's a putrid offensive player and is a good defender but we weren't even confident enough in him to give him minutes during the playoffs until Jefferson was REALLY hurting.

I think Al is going to get around 15 or 16 million a year if he opts out but if he commands more Henderson's contract will be more movable next year and Neal's 3 million expiring could easily take care of the rest.

-You also have to factor in the escalating rookie contracts, they jump up in millions from year to year.

- Henderson's contract will be moveable, maybe it's something we try to do next free agency.

- If Bosh just got a max, Al is going to get close to that if he has another All-NBA season.

- Re-signing Biyombo doesn't really hurt because his salary would bump up maybe $1mil at the very worst. By the way his QO is set at $4 (I believe), so he will at least be making that.

- If we're already over this year, losing Neal's $3 mil doesn't really do anything except get us back under, and barely.

- Like Biyombo, Kemba is a RFA. I'd be surprised if we don't match anything up to $9.5 for him as we can go over to sign him (something we can't do with a point guard like Dragic who will command $$$ that we don't have).

Back loading is very uncommon in the NBA. I guess we could do that, but the chances are slim.

This is true but a guy like Lance, as seen on tv, will try to do anything to win.

He has the advantage of being a star here. In IND he plays 3rd flute behind George and Hibbert(it's ridiculous)

Could be. I'm not in the negotiating room, so I have no idea what type of contracts or contract is being drawn up.

I'm just pointing out how uncommon backloaded contracts are in the NBA.

The only two poison pill contracts I can think of are Lin's and Asik's. Imagine that lol.
