Ok, here's a list of some good young 2008 Restricted Free Agents.
Most of these guys will sign 5 or 6 years deals I'd assume.
Here they are.
Give me contract length (years) and total $ value.
What do you think they will get???
Josh Smith
Emeka Okafor
Luol Deng
Ben Gordon
Andris Bierdrins
Andre Iguodala
Jose Calderon
Carlos Delfino
Paul Millsap

Meka and Iggy a notch below
Delfino will get the least me thinks
No stamina = no numbers, sorry
Call me crazy, but Smith is not worth the Max. He seems to be more about highlights/numbers than he is about winning games. Not saying he's not a very talented player, but a team with 2 max players (JJ, Smith) and a bunch of good young players (Marvin, Chill, Horford, etc) should be better than the Hawks. Smith should get about 5 years, 60 mil.

Been preaching this a bit, but how do you think someone like Josh Smith would do a real winning situation. A Phoenix, Dallas, Lakers, Pistons situation, surround by vets and winners, a real positive atmosphere.
Not saying he would demand max value in these situations, but do you think he would be more highly thought of if he was 3rd man to a succesful team rather than second man to a struggling team?

The dude averages 3 blocks and 2 steals each game. I think he would do ok as the third or fourth guy.
One question for you.... If tay got nearly 10 mill per year, How much is Smith worth? Probably more than 10 mill per year! And starting around 11-12 mill. Basically a max deal.
