I think you left out the one he's after. 4 years for 64 mil. And he'll probably get it! By the way, I just don't think that the Kings are willing to pay Tyreke 11 mil a year. I doubt they'll go over 9 mil a year.
You think Iggy will get D-Wade, Zach Randolph, Derrick Rose and Derron Williams money? Yikes! I run away from that as fast as I can. I understand some of those players have contracts that have some seasons higher than others and such but still!
I cannot see Iggy being worth more than 13 maybe 14. 14M for me is a stretch with Iggy in a small market team. I could see giving Iggy a contract like Marc Gasol where is goes 13M, 14M, 15M, and averages out to around 14M.
I am probably overvaluing Tyreke when I look at similar salaries and such for his CURRENT value. However, I am one that still believes that Tyreke has a ton of talent. A GM has to do what is best for the team finances so I understand if the Kings want to give him 8-9M and he wants 10-11M that he has to walk, especially with Cousins contract to consider.
Yet, if Tyreke and Cousins can be understood as corner-stones and another great player is brought it it could be the difference in playoffs and basement dwelling.
Cousins will probably demand somewhere between Dwight Howard and Zach Randolph money, thus 15M-19M annually. If we can get Cuz and Tyreke combined at 24M, that takes us to about 78M with Salmons and Outlaw, Amnesty Salmons and buy out Outlaw and that drops it down to about 68M below the luxury tax line.
I do not value Tyreke enough to say that if we only have two 9-10+ Million players it has to be him and Cuz. If we can only have two 8-figure salaries on the team then I let Tyreke walk and try to bring in someone else. I highly value what Evans and Cuz can be with good coaching, quality GM work and pieces that fit. BUT, we will have to wait and see I guess.
I would love to have a front office that will at least go to the salary level of an OKC, San Antonio, Detroit, Golden State, etc... Basically, right to the luxury cap would be nice.
