Danny Ferry's Joe Johnson

[parson]

If the rumors that Sacramento wants him, he will only be signed by us as a max FA. Looky here:

Ken Berger from CBSSports has reported that sources close to the Kings have noted that the franchise is after immediate improvement at the point guard position but has a long term goal of attracting Warriors sharp shooter Klay Thompson to the franchise when he becomes a Restricted Free Agent after next season.

Are you, perhaps, backing down? First you say that getting Thompson should be Ferry's defining move, now you think you'd only sign him for $9-11 million.

Well, I don't think Ferry has spent 11 Million per on anybody .. right. I think that would be a defining move right in line with what we gave Joe. In the time of big money, Joe's first deal with us was a 70 Million dollar deal. He made just over 13 mill per. However, Joe played better defense than Klay. Now in the time of fiscal responsibility, I think that a 9-11 Million dollar deal is more along the lines of what Klay is worth.. and actually a good offer.
Right now of the guys coming off their first deal, I don't think that there's anybody save Curry, George, and the guy in Cleveland who I would consider giving 14...
