I wouldn't offer him less than $11 mil assuming that $11 mil is what NO offered him. $10 mil would be a sign of disrespect and would seem like we are trying to take advantage of him. I would offer the $11 mil before he hears a bunch of other offers. Let's get this over as quickly as possible. I hope Detroit doesn't go higher.
I will bet money if we had extended him for $11 mil people would have complained like mad that we over paid but at the least it would have taken away this possibility that we don't sign him. Heck, didn't a majority of the fans here say they would go to $12 mil? I hope the Maloofs haven't mismanaged this into us losing what very well may be an important cornerstone to a new era in Kings history.
He must have met with Detroit by now yet we haven't heard anything. It's 7 PM in Detroit right now.
