How is this getting Bledsoe more money? He's going to get his max.

We want to give Bled 10 mil but he wanted a max weird he didnt just take the money DeRozan did but maybe Bledsoe knew he would be good. If we give Bled and Drag 10-12 mil will be fine.

We ASSUME Bledsoe is going to get max. I have yet to read about any team offering Bledsoe a contract let alone a max contract.

I think Lowry signed a deal that Bledsoe is worth the same..... And we can negotiate percentages and **** along with interesr, bonuses. Also if Bledsoe wants Dragic to stay he wont take a max cause theyll take the same deal.

Agent says to Phx....if I deliver you LeBron, you have to agree to give Bledsoe the max. Stuff like this probably happens all the time. I hope it isn't happening, but there is certainly a good possibility it is.

Could be another reason we haven't heard anything regarding Bledsoe.

This would leave a sour taste in my mouth though.

I just dont think Bledsoe deserves a max Lowry got 48 mil 4 years plus toronto taxes.

**** Irving getting overpaid by that dumb ass organization.

Ok, sounds reasonable enough.

It seems that Carmelo stays in NY.

All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony probed New York Knicks management on the franchise's plan to restore a contending roster and left his final free-agency meeting largely aligned with president Phil Jackson's vision, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Anthony had direct questions for Jackson and coach Derek Fisher during a Thursday meeting in Los Angeles, and Anthony's increased confidence with the Knicks' direction – which includes a maximum contract offer of five years and $129 million – has strengthened the franchise's chances of re-signing Anthony, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

5/130 ya can't turn that down. Melo just wanted the attention of being whined & dined for a week.

Post #513 » by **bwgood77** » Fri Jul 4, 2014 8:26 pm

My prediction is LeBron goes back to Miami for a year then goes to NY next summer.

The absolute best case scenario if he DOES go back is that Bledsoe signs for 12, stays healthy all year, we get back to that win pace with that backcourt, improve in other areas, Warren surpises at how fast he can contribute and be a go to scorer off the bench, we get into the playoffs, stun a couple of teams, get into the finals, and knock out LeBron and the Heat, as he stares off blankly into space wondering how it all happened.

Why would any dumbass team offer Bledsoe the max when even Lowry only got $12M/yr?

Not even close. Cleveland could offer up Wiggins/Varejao straight up for Love and The Wolves would take it in a heartbeat. If Cleveland wanted to keep Wiggins, they could offer the Wolves Waiters/Bennett/Varejao for Love and Minny would still take it.

Um your joking right? Minny would laugh their ass off and hang up.

I wouldn't want the Suns to take that trio even if it was offered for free so why would they trade Love for it? Waiters is garbage and a cancerous player, Bennett has shown nothing except bust potential and Varejou is a walking injury.

Well it did just occur to me that if LeBron joins us, Miami suddenly could be a team that could offer him the max. Not saying they would, but they could do it partially out of spite and also because they could need a pg. Not that he'd sign there, but that would pretty much force us to give him the max, that is if we didn't already promise his agent to give him the max if he delivers LeBron.

TheBledShow · Post #517 » by **TheBledShow** » Fri Jul 4, 2014 8:33 pm

I would rather have Bled,Goran, and Lebron....... Melo is trash.

I agree with you but I have a feeling Bennett is going to end up turning out a lot better than people expect.

Bennett belongs in the d league with adam morrison.
