Bell, Livingston, Childress and Lowry ... maybe Barbosa's contract wasn't that bad afterall ...

Childress would look like MJ compare to Lowry for roughly the same money :)

Bell is 10 mil over 3 years not 10 mil a year.


Yeah, I'm aware of that. 10m a season would have got their GM the sack!

He's 34 when the season starts and played all of 6 games last season. It's a terrible contract. He's basically just a shooter at this stage and that's if he even recovers.

Good he didn't sign with LA, he'll be a very good fit next to Deron.

3.3 mill per year over 3 years for Raja is overpaying, but not by that much. I'd say Childress' 6.6mill per over 5 years, and Livingston's 3.5mill per over 3 years are decent deals.

Gay and Joe Johnson are the guys who got the craziest contracts IMO. Frye's deal is our only bad signing.

Great for Raja. Makes sense from his end. More money, more PT.

His heart and hustle earned him a nice final contract, the guy is a consumate professional and deserves it.

He is, and always will be, a Phoenix Sun first!

Well, Kyle Korver is now a Chicago Bull and the Jazz let Wesley Matthews walk--So Raja could very well be starting in Utah.

Raja nails Kobe again, that is epic! I knew that no self-respecting former Sun would join the Lakers (or spurs as rumored). To bad he's not coming back here.

Raja called Kobe 15 minutes before their dinner date and cancelled. I can picture Kobe sitting at the restaurant and getting the call. Burn.

Inappropriate. This is a public warning since you just joined but this kind of conduct is not acceptable on the RealGM forums. Further infractions will result in actual warnings, suspensions and hopefully not further.

I wouldn't be too worried. He probably found himself a nice little Californian barmaid to cheer himself up.
