Very interesting to see how much the contract is worth.

Better than that earlier reported deal, I like.

Sammy, welcome to the big time.

"If you've ever seen Iverson play in person, you know that his improvisational skills are amazing. Baron Davis calls him unguardable. He's a killer on the fast break. One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

ESPN is saying between 60 and 70 million...looks like Sammy got the max.

Coatesvillain

Comcast Sportsnet just reported 50 million, so we'll see what it turns up as.

Wow, way to overpay him. He's hardly worth 36 million at 6 million a year much less at least 60 million at 10 million a year. I hope he turns into a dominant big man because this deal looks like they see a Stoudemire in him.

I really doubt he did get the max, BK seemed like he didn't want to overpay, and there still is no confirmed amount. They said it was believed to be between $60 and $70 mil based on previous negotiations.

Good luck trading Webber, unless you want Brian Grant.

Depending on what the numbers are, he does fit the team and plays well with AI. Hopefully some consistent minutes will improve his game. Let's hope it is closer to 60 then 70.

I think some people don't get the cap. Even if we trade Webber we would have to trade for players that make the similar amount of salary. They have to match up unless you find a team with a lot of cap room that is willing to take on his salary (not going to happen). It's either Webber or 2/3 lesser players making the combined same amount. Some may argue that the combo of Thomas/Skinner/Williamson was more productive than Webber (not disputing that), the positive is that Webber's deal comes off the book b4 all of their's do.

mmmdk

Dalembert scored the $$$ How will Dalembert do stat-wise ? He's gotta score more. He's gotta play more. He surely could rebound (with more minutes). Can Dalembert step it up ?

Peace, Mike
