There's actually a little secret, that
so for Matthews maximum salary will start at around $16.25 million, if cap number is $69 million.

Oh I stand corrected, I thought we send picks out and got two players that will probably never set foot in the NBA... but it seems like you are talking about a whole other deal...

Even better. The max we can screw ourselves is then under 70M.
YAY!!!

If Lakers miss on their top three FA targets, they're more likely to pursue David Lee in a trade than revisit Boogie talks

In his/her defense...this franchise is a joke.
It always was cheap. Question was whether he'd come off the bench willingly or not.
I'm not sure Kobe was there to sell him on Kobe, supposedly (I got this from Fox or ESPN last night), LA's pitch was based around how much more money and star power and exposure playing in LA brings and Aldridge didn't give a crap about that as he just wants to win. If so, kudos to him.

Just because you believe in something doesn't immediately makes it the truth.
Can we please go back to just talking about how bad our free agent signing is?

IF Wes Matthews leaves Sac without a contract, we are screwed.
The longer we go today without news Matthews is signed to 4 year 60 mil contract, the less likely it will happen at all.
We can't let him leave Sac without a contract or else he is just using Sac for leverage to get a deal elsewhere.

Tend to agree with this

He probably is going to use us to hold out for leverage, all indications are his first choice is the Mavericks, especially if DeAndre Jordan goes there. He will definitely take less to go there, but still use us to get the most that he can. He would be smart to do so, doesn't mean he doesn't like us. At this point I'll be glad to be anyone's second choice as bad as that sounds.
I don't think the Mavs can offer him a real contract if DJ sign there... am I wrong?

Are you suggesting we kidnap him and shove him in a trunk until he agrees to sign with us?

They might have room for both. basically dumped both Ellis and Chandler, looking for their replacements.

He can leave without one if DJ stays in LA Matthews isn't going to Dallas to team up with Hibbert/Parsons/ and Dirk
No.
Freaking.
Crap.
I told you all on how huge of a value signing he was for the production. Now, he's among the best value contracts in the NBA.

They are taking on Hibbert's contract though.

He's a value, but is he someone that would have came off the bench and stuck to his ROLE or would we constantly hear him complaining about wanting to start? It's not a deal if he's disruptive. But I would stand corrected if he turns into a great role player.
Are we waiting to sign Rondo until after we sign Matthews? To see how much $$ we have left?

From what I've heard they are only going to do that if they can't get DeAndre...

You are right, me believing in it does not make it truth...their hourly actions and past history however do make it truth.
4-60 would be great for Matthews. Knight, Carroll, Monroe, are all in that same vein of talent as Matthews and got similar deals. Its the market for above average players in the league now. It just looks crazy with all these role guys being paid more than the likes of Steph, Boogie, etc. But the market will adjust for them too once they look to ink new deals.
They only have 4 guys under contract. They can pay both
Speaking of which, I think the same question is valid to ask about Rondo- "is he someone that would have came off the bench and stuck to his ROLE or would we constantly hear him complaining about wanting to start? It's not a deal if he's disruptive."
That's one of my fears about getting Rondo- we have already seen he can act badly if things don't go his way, and there is a good chance DC is a better player than him- would he handle it if you took some of his minutes?

Suns just dumped Marcus Morris and two other contracts for second round pics. It's rumored that they may need to dump Markief and PJ Tucker, too. I'd love PJ Tucker on this team. He's a great defender and decent 3-pt shooter.
Thing is, this guys aren't coming of a possibly career altering injury...

Oh you mean all those "hourly actions and past history" twitted by the media that needs to bring "news" to get paid?

Lol yeah man. This is a real model franchise that embodies winning. It's def the medias fault this team has been rebuilding for a decade and still can't manage 30 wins.
