You can't overlook that we dumped $13.7M in Lewis' salary as part of the Ariza acquisition.
Okafor is earning roughly twice what Ariza is earning, so one way of looking at it is to credit about $9.1M of that Lewis savings to Okafor's contract, and $4.6M of the Lewis savings to Ariza's contract. In that light, Ariza is costing roughly $5.2M a year for 2 years.
Fields is costing $6.25M a year for 3 years. Which is the better deal? I'm not sure. I don't really like either one.
Your kidding right ?
I tried that several times in the past. Where were you then ?
Another way to look at it I posted recently. Both cost no more then Gil does over the next two years and they got Lewis for two tank years. One of which brought them Beal.
Wait a minute. Are you saying we don't have to pay the last year of Lewis' contract? OH BOY! Did you guys hear that? WOO HOO!
