Ric Bucher - Grizz won't offer Lee

[Downtown]

Sorry. It sounds like you've got him according to a story on twitter.

So they supposedly refuse to pay Lee $40-50 million (in all likelihood for 5 years) but is willing to pay Randolph $34 million for just 2 years?

Yep, that sounds like Grizzlies management alright.

No offense to David Lee, but I wouldn't sign him to a 50 million dollar deal for what he does. Lee may be one of those players who will be dissapointed about not getting the amount of money him or his agent are asking for from the teams. At best he's probably worth at least 35mil for 5yrs. As for Zbo, I rather pay him 34 mil for 2yrs than pay 54 mil for 4yrs from the earlier part of his contract estimation from his days with Portland.

Glad your owner killed the deal.

Lee didnt want to come last year but whats to come for a pay day. Eff that.

Your owner has balls and I love it.

Remove QRich's $9.35 million and the cash they got from the Knicks in the Darko deal (reportedly ~$3 million) and it's more like $22 million for 2 years. Not arguing with you, just putting it in perspective.
