All on HoopsHype today (http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm)

Batum has now signed with Portland

Mo Evans appears headed to Golden State (3yrs/$6.4m)

Azubuike is likely to head to LAC then (3yrs/$9.3m)

Daniel Gibson's precise contract released "He will earn $3.7 million this season, $4,088,500 in 2009-10, $4,015,334 in 2010-11 and $4,403,834 in 2011-12. The fifth year of the contract, worth $4,792,332 in 2012-13, is reportedly not guaranteed. Lorain Morning Journal"

Childress signs with Olympiakos

UPDATE

Detroit signed Will Bynum and Walter Sharpe to 2 year, minimum contracts. Bynum has a team option on year 2. I would imagine Sharpe does as well.

Have you heard or read anything about Telfair's contract?

Not a peep. I'm getting pretty suspicious. But, the press conference is today, so hopefully we'll get word.

UPDATE: Apparently I should've read the presser recap first. It's a 3 year deal. Player option on the 3rd.

The Warriors broke off negotiations with Evans and matched the offer sheet on Azubuike.

#1 - Derrick Rose
#24 - Serge Ibaka
#25 - Nicolas Batum
#26 - George Hill
#28 - Donte Greene (supposedly signed, but I see no confirmation on the transactions list)
#30 - Jr Giddens

Is this correct?

Rose quietly signed at 120% of scale on July 8.
Ibaka is reportedly going to play in Europe.
As posted earlier, Batum signed.
Greene, Hill and Giddens have yet to sign.

Mo Evans apparently held out for more money. Hehehe. That worked out.

-bob- · Post #49 » by **-bob-** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 3:31 am

Warriors signed Monta 6 yrs/$66M, also signed 2nd round pick Richard Hendrix.

ESPN says he will make $11M THIS year, so I guess its a flat contract.

I guess it did, he got 3 years, $7.5 million from Atlanta.

Vujacic 3 years, $15 million from the Lakers.

Gomes re-signed with Minnesota.

P.S. I hate restricted free agency.

A source said the fifth season of Daniel Gibson's five-year, $21 million deal is only half guaranteed.

6 years, $63 million for Biedrins, PO on last season.

espn updated their info on Biedrins deal

The Golden State Warriors officially re-signed center Andris Biedrins to a six-year contract Monday worth a guaranteed $54 million and potentially topping $62 million with incentives.

...

NBA front-office sources said Monday night that Biedrins' deal will pay $9 million annually for each of the next six seasons, with a player option included for Biedrins to return to free agency in the summer of 2013 after the fifth year.

OK, so the ESPN Trade Machine has been somewhat updated which has caused me to recalculate some of the "guesses" on the orginal post. A few of the items of note are (all starting salaries):

Baron Davis - $11,250,000
Andris Biedrins - $9,000,000
Corey Maggette - $8,275,862
Jose Calderon - $7,438,018
Mickael Pietrus - $5,300,000
Sasha Vujacic - $4,524,887
Eduardo Najera - $3,250,000
Marc Gasol - $3,000,000
Kelenna Azubuike - $2,900,000
Roger Mason Jr - $3,500,000
Eddie House - $2,650,000
Craig Smith - $2,500,000
Ricky Davis - $2,300,000
Tyronn Lue - $2,250,000
Patrick O'Bryant - $797,581 (Vet Min)
Mario Chalmers - $700,000

I have updated the thread based on these numbers. Let me know if I have missed anything or calculated something wrong..............

We've been describing it as a four-year deal worth $15 million in the paper, but C.J. Miles' contract officially is worth $14.8 million, according to a source. That includes a team option for the fourth year. Miles will make $3.7 million each season

arenas809 · Post #57 » by **arenas809** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 4:19 pm

The thread has Gomes listed as signing a 3 year, $9 million deal and it looks like that's pretty incorrect.

"Ryan Gomes brings a lot of heart to the basketball court. Gomes is 25 and getting better every year, a key reason the Timberwolves signed him Tuesday to a five-year contract reportedly worth more than $21 million. But Kevin McHale, the team's vice president of basketball operations, said Gomes delivers much more to the Wolves than the 12.6 points and 5.8 rebounds a game he contributed last season, his first in Minnesota. 'Ryan's got a tremendous basketball IQ,' McHale said. 'We now, as an organization, have to take his strengths and play to them.'"

Thanks, I thought that was wrong, I read that he had got 5 years but I didn't see anything about money.

I got some updating to do now...

After adding Deng's new deal, which starts at $9.4 million, the Bulls have a cushion of about $7.86 million to pay Gordon's first-year salary. Stretch that over six years with 10.5 percent raises and it falls just below a total of $60 million. The Bulls believe that's a fair deal for their leading scorer. Whether Gordon feels the same way is anyone's guess. "We will continue to talk to Ben's representative (Raymond Brothers) and look for ways to get him signed," general manager John Paxson said in an e-mail statement. "Every contract and negotiation is different, but we value Ben and respect the part he has played for us the past four seasons and certainly want him to be a part of our future as well."

Shortly after reportedly declining a $3.9M per season deal, the Sixers stepped up to the plate and signed Louis Williams to a 5-year contract.

The 76ers agreed to terms today with restricted free agent guard Louis Williams on a 5-year contract. - Philly.com

Philly.com is not reporting any terms of the contract, but I just saw Derrick Gunn on Comcast SportsNite say the deal is reportedly worth $25 million over the 5 years.
