I'm fine with everything and always believed with this yr's FA we would be considered lucky to land one significant FA....one, and that was never LBJ in my opinion, though there was and still is as of today, a small outside shot...but for me, it was never anything more than that...

Thank you Boozer...we saved ourselves here...

I still feel at the very least, we should pay Lee the money...I like to see this kid become a Net for life...and at the very least, he is a tradeable asset...(and I have no issues with fans saying we might be better off not doing anything, I can respect that...)

Say no to Tyrus...We have to fill out roster spots, Korver and Outlaw I can deal with...


Yeah Jac, I would much rather have Lee then Thomas but I really don't want to over pay Lee. If he wants to come for like 5 yrs. 70 mil then I would jump on it. Maybe I'd go to 75 mil but not a penny more. I still want Korver for 5-6 mil too. Outlaw is a bit of a chucker I think so I'll pass on him. Korver fills a nice need. He can shoot lights out and has SF size so we can put T-Will back to being a versatile guard off the bench. Lee for 12 and Korver for 6 still gives us close to max money remaining when Ross and Hump expire. I think at least we will then have nice balance and have solid depth. Could make a run at a late playoff spot 6, 7, or 8 seed.

I think the number would of been 76mil, but he got 80mil from GS w. the trade...For the double double output and potential at his age, you had to pay on the high side for Lee...and thats one player I could of dealt w. paying more for...is he getting more than maybe he should, of course...but which is the worse situation, what GS got done or us flat out overpaying Outlaw, guaranteed 5yrs 7mil per...
You hope Travis has his best year, but he's not the tradeable asset Lee would of been...I think Outlaw has more of a potential to hurt us than help us...specifically with the nets big picture, player wise and contract wise...
