Minnnesota just signed Nikola Pekovic. 3 years 14 million total. He'll have a chance to start if they end up sign-and-trading Al Jefferson.
I guess it was expected.Phil Jackson opted for one more year with the LA Lakers and a chance to secure a fourth three-peat.
I think that's a pretty bad deal for the Hawks. Johnson is good, but I really think it's an exaggeration to give him a max contract.It is also reported that the Hawks have offered Joe Johnson a Max contract worth $127 Million for a span of five years. Hawks said that Joe Johnson is close to coming into terms.
That's worth it. Salmons was a great addition for Milwaukee. I think he's a very smart, very efficient player.While the Bucks have offered a 5 year $39 Million contract to John Salmons.
I guess we were expecting something like that.BBallFanJ said:Paul Pierce re-signs with Boston 4 yrs (3 are fully guaranteed).
I'm kind of surprised about that. He's not exactly a starting PF, in my opinion. Although, looking at his stats, he seems pretty efficient in only 20 minutes per game: 10 points, 5 rebounds.Suns sign Hakim Warrick: 4 yrs $18 million.
Like Johnson, I don't really think Stoudemire is a max player. He's good, but everybody knows that he's a bad defender...does New York really want to bring in another big man who can't defend? I guess that would be consistent with their plan since they lost Larry Johnson.Amare Stoudemire is close to finalizing a max contract with the Knicks.
Depending on the money, this might be a great deal. Blake is underrated. He might be able start in front of Fisher if Fisher doesn't walk away (Fisher is a rat...the guy left Utah feigning retirement and signed again with LA like lightening).Lakers sign Steve Blake for 4 years.
I guess that's pretty good. Keeping Delfino is great. He's a super-skilled player, kind of a light version of the dominant SFs in the league. Gooden, 5 years for $32 million? That seems about right. They'll be able to start Gooden and Bogut, with Mbouh a Moute and Ilyasova coming off the bench.Bucks agree to terms with Drew Gooden: 5 yrs $32 million, keep Carlos Delfino.
That seems about right, too, although I'm surprised he couldn't get a better deal in Europe.Darko Milicic staying in the NBA and Minnesota 4 yrs $20 million.
A max contract for Rudy Gay? I would put him in Joe Johnson category. Good player, but he has a lot to prove.Rudy Gay accepts maximum contract from Grizzlies.
Not that happy... I hope I'll be proven wrong, but I get the feeling he'll never win a championshipDirk re-signs with Mavs for 4 years.
Of this year's free agents, yes. Those are the three I would give max, max, max money to.Yes, teams do over-spend on player at times. I think Wade, James and Nowitzki are the only FA's that are worth that money.
I don't know. Clearly, Dallas had their chance in the Finals a few years ago. They've had some great players rotating in and out, but nobody for a long time...Mark Cuban never should have let Steve Nash walk.rikhardur said:Not that happy...

I don't remember it very well, but I thought that Cuban didn't even want to make a counter offer to Phoenix.Actually, Mark Cuban and the Mavericks Organization tried the best they could to keep him via a 4-year extension but the Suns' offer of more amount and a young and vibrant cast of Stoudemire, Joe Johnson and Shawn Marion was too hard to pass up.
Wow...could you imagine Rondo and Barbosa together? That would be pretty exciting. As a playmaker, Rondo is similar to Steve Nash, so it would definitely be a fun combination to watch. Fernández would be a great addition to any team. If Boston loses Ray Allen, he'll be a great replacement. He'd also be a great player off the bench.rikhardur said:Celtics interested in Leandro Barbosa and Rudy Fernández...

Dampier's contract was also bad, but at the time, I think people thought it was OK because he was coming off a great season in Golden State, if I remember correctly.Do you mean overrated? That's what I think, personally. He's very overrated.eindhow said:Joe Johnson has agreed to a six-year, $119 million deal to stay with the Hawks..
That's some contract for one of the most underrated star players..
