First he got Bucher now he got Spears. Kevin Rashidi is on a roll... Marc Stein better watch out. I think Woj will be safe tho since they're on a first name basis.

Well let's hope by "start" it means that the contract is front loaded not back loaded.

Do you think Carl is at risk as well?

Front load is a good idea for the team if we arent planning to resign all the free agents, good call
we can hope 8-)

And it deters teams with limited cap space to make a solid run at Lowry.

Yea, I like Lowry and I think he will hold to what he has now for max three season, can't say for sure because he doesn't play a game revolving around athleticism so he might just get better with age like a good wine or block of cheese lol

That troll just killed our entire pitch. The Lowry family is probably out celebrating already. When they hear our offer is 52 million tops they'll be disappointed.

**** trolls!

I'm gonna say it again, if Riles gets to him, its a wrap. You can heat it up, eat it, its a wrap.

But is that something that a player would want?

Time-value of money, its better to get your cash up front - but smart players may not want that because they have a higher tendency to spend it.
Is there a factor with lowering your value for your next contract if you are coming off a 8M in final year looking for a 2nd payday compared to coming off a flat 11.5/12

If they are smart, they will not be tempted to spend anyways.

Sadly, Bosh's Long Neck and Wade's Wooden Leg have more pull on FAs.

I have a strong feeling that Lowry will stay with the Raptors...him and Demar have a really close relationship from what I've seen. Demar has also said multiple times that he's not worried about Lowry leaving.
