I hope this is followed by a CJ trade, otherwise this is a ridiculous roster.

Amazed that he signed for under $20 million per year. I am perfectly fine if he wanted a longer deal and gave up a few million per year for that.

I remember some on here telling me getting him for under $20 million was a pipe dream just a few months ago.

We couldn't lose him for nothing, we would have 0 cap space to use to go find another player. At least this team isn't counting pennies and are willing to spend to keep Dame happy.

That's a bag of cash and a lot of security. No matter what...reload or retool he's a big part of our future.

Fair, but it's still a poorly constructed roster have your 1-3 all be guys who are 6'3". The team just needs more length.

I like this deal. Opens up CJ trades and it's under 20 million a year.

Interesting he chose Portland but he must have been assured he will be the starting SG after CJ
gets dealt. I wonder if the Knicks offered him the $80/4 deal that Fournier got?

Yeah, I would be too for that money lol. Can't say I agree with the "run it back" tho.

Interesting. I like it, should be a contract we can trade with ease if it blows up. And considering gtj got 2 + po this looks better for portland now that we got the deal done

monopoman · Post #15 » by **monopoman** » Tue Aug 3, 2021 2:17 am

He is under contract until age 33 roughly, yeah this contract is moveable he is basically under contract at a reasonable rate for his entire prime. If the cap goes up big time in the next 2 or 3 years the contract looks even better.

How can you like it? Either we are running a 6'3" 1-3 or we are paying a 6th man 18mil per. Either way it's bad new bears.

And who do you suppose is going to want CJ's 30+million/year? Where's the market for him? Philly for Simmons... not happening, Harris maybe? Other than that, I just don't see a market for him now. I think it vanished over the last several hours. We are now paying a ridiculous amount of money to 3 undersized SGs.

I'm done. Man Overboard.

Harris and Porzingas I think are realistic targets. Simmons should be realistic, but Morey is on some crack cocaine bender this summer.
