Odds on our FAs coming back
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 8:41 am
POB- 100 to 1
The guy is a bum and Don Nelson hates him...the feeling is mutual on POBs side towards Nellie as well, Im sure.
Pietrus- 20 to 1
Four years of fustration and missed out potential. I think we have seen enough. The fact that he is an UFA pretty much kills whatever small chance existed of him returning as there is no chance that we even get close to the luxury tax in order to sign MP.
Kelenna- 5 to 1
I think we want to keep him but will have a hard time doing so. A few teams will bid for him using a sizable chunk of their MLE and I think we are going to be priced out. For us, he is a backup to Stephen and Monta. To many (SG starved) teams he would be a fringe starter or a valued sixth man. We cant afford to pay our backup SGs over 3M a year.
Barnes- 3 to 1
He is going to want money first and foremost. And even though we arent going to pay him much, this may be the reason why he comes back here. I think he re-signs on a cheap one year deal and tries to rediscover the magic that he had in 2007, then cash in on a contract next year.
Baron- 0.3 to 1
The guy would be silly to give up the payout of the final year in a max deal. Of course, he does have the choice of opting out if he thinks that a team like Atlanta or Philly would give him a better deal than the one he will receive next offseason, when lots of FAs will be available. I see him staying and then moving on the next offseason.
Beans- 0.2 to 1
It would defy logic that he not be re-signed. I know lots of posters are so cynical that they think our FO will do the opposite of good every opportunity they get, but expect them to be proven wrong (as usual). Beans gets signed quickly to a big, long term deal a la Chris Kaman (5 years, 50M).
Monta- 0.1 to 1
See Andris, except Monta is even more likely to be signed due to his proven success and potential for superstardom shown this year and the fact that he is the heir apparent at PG when Baron leaves. He will sign right away, too.
No Line- Cro and CJ (due to the fact that its not important either way if they come back)
