the contracts being given are making me sick...

Stars I can understand the 25-30 million a year deals... they sell jerseys, they attract TV rights etc... they bring money in.

Mozgov WILL not sell more than 10 jerseys next season... will not be the deal breaker for TV rights....

Offer him 10 million a year and see if he passes... but 17??? geez.

Someone would buy a Timothy Mozgov jersey?

Do not underestimate Russian Laker fans, some of them will impulse buy.

According to that, Mozgov was statistically worse than Hibbert. So one could argue the Lakers are paying a huge amount of money to get an even worse center than they already had. Unbelievable.

Lakers: alright Mozgov we'll offer you 8 million a year and not a penny more

Moz: Sure, that sounds reasonable to m-

LAkers: FINE, DAMN IT!, you win, we'll double the offer

Moz: hey even better

And look who finished last on that list! Besides Mozgov and Okafor being in those last two spots, look at the dropoff...they almost doubled the RPM of the 74th person.

And I don't know what that stat is to the very far right, but that one certainly doesn't bode well for Okafor.

The Knight and Chancellor deals are steals!

Real Plus Minus doesnt tell the whole story though... bottom feeder teams' starter lineups will have terrible RPM values...

with that said, Mozgov is a meh player just by watching him play.

I think GoranTragic hacked Kerssed's account.

I saw an article linking us to Bazemore. Says he's meeting with Rockets 1st...

i'd love dudley back on a 2-3 yr deal

I think Bazemore and Dudley are actually two of the better guys to go for. Dudley makes more sense if we think Warren is the real deal and want to keep Knight.

If we can get rid of Knight, a rotation of Bazemore/Booker/Warren at 2/3 would be perfect. Pick up Ish to back up Bledsoe for depth. Waive Goodwin.

There is absolutely no need on this earth for Jared Dudley to come back to this team. Would rather anyone that was previously discussed, even Deng and I frigging hate the idea of Deng, would rather have him than Duds back. Would rather pay Barnes his ransom than ever give Dudley another minute of court time for this team.

Lol, rather keep Goodwin at 1 million a year, than Bazelmore at 19 million a year as rumored.


Suns just got Ulis, so why would they want Ish?


Suns signing Bazelmore will NOT move the needle.

I rather sign Barnes at 19 million a year over Bazelmore, thats not an endorsement to sign Barnes at that price, but its a knock on Bazelmore.

[thamadkant]

I rather SUNS not do anything at all.... than sign meh players at RIDICULOUS money.

Wait for next season and offer 60 Million (per year) for 2 All-Stars...
