Market is different now. Iverson, Davis, Brand, Marion

It seems that they will opt out.

Salary prediction:

Iverson: 4 years 64 Mil

B Davis: 5 years 80 Mil

Brand: 5 years 75 Mil

Marion: 5 years 70 Mil

What is your prediction?

That B-Diddy ends up in Boston after a sign & trade involving Ray Allen as the Celtics load up to defend their title.

Iverson - Remains with Nuggets
Baron Davis - Remains with Warriors
Brand - Either goes to Miami in a sign and trade or stays with Clippers
Marion - Remains with Miami unless shipped for Brand

Re: Market is different now. Iverson, Davis, Brand, Marion

I think they all, or almost all, stay right where they are. They don't have a lot of bargaining power, considering how few teams have any cap room (much less the kind it takes to sign them). If you want to go to Charlotte, Memphis or Philly, fine. But otherwise your options are stick with your team, go elsewhere for less money or try to force a sign-and-trade by pouting.

I don't believe anyone is opting out. It would be stupid to opt out.

Re: Market is different now. Iverson, Davis, Brand, Marion

Vince Carter opt out last year @ 16.4 Mil left.

Then sign 13.0 Mil for the first year.

Exacty like Jessica Alba, Baron Davis loves Cash (C is capitalized).

Re: Market is different now. Iverson, Davis, Brand, Marion

Marion will get a 6 year $80 million deal. Brand will also get 15-20 million a year. No way does Iverson command more than 10-12million per year anymore. Davis is a tough one but I'm willing to bet that he gets paid more than he is now. Maybe with LeCavs?
