Could any of you give an intelligent guess about how much your team has spent out of its MLE.........or basically, what's the biggest starting salary they could offer Duhon??

but its a good deal but only if we can keep either one of Bonner or Sow, i would prefer Sow because we need a defensive presence in the paint, but you cant argue with Bonner's shoting,

The only signing this summer has been Jose Calderon and the terms have not been announced. Pape Sow reportedly had a contract but it hasn't been announced and I assume it is coming out of the LLE not MLE anyway.

Its up to you to guess how much the raptors offered the 23yr old spanish point guard. My guess is somewhere between 1 and 2 million but who knows babs did sign rafer for like 4 mil a year.

speedythief

We signed Calderon and there was competition for him, so it's fair to assume that we've given him at least $1.5M to start.

We haven't used any more of the MLE than that, so the most we could offer Duhon would probably be about $3.5M, though I doubt we'd go that high.



For those worried about Sow, don't be, he's probably a minimum signing (according to Babcock). Doesn't count against our MLE.

As for Bonner, yes, this could affect our ability to re-sign him. Unless we can split the remaining MLE between him and Duhon, Bonner will probably be signed by another team.

This is assuming that the rumour is true.

Turkish Delight

Supposadely it's been confirmed by a local radio station in Chicago.

speedythief

Yeah, but I'll believe it when I hear from one of the three involved parties.

Also, I hope you don't mind CrookedJ, but I've changed your thread topic title to try and draw more interest than a "rumour" thread.

CrookedJ

I'm deeply offended by this act of censorship.





J/K - you know what sells dude, I was just being cautious.

sow's deal shouldn't affect the MLE or LLE (the LLE may have been used last year on woods. if so, we only have the MLE this year). i don't think calderon's figures have been published--babs said its 3rs (no $ discussed).

if duhon isn't matched, and bonner is lost,
additions: villaneuva, graham, duhon, calderon, sow + ukic, slokar
subtractions: marshall, bonner

it'd be a shame to lose bonner. but if it comes down to a choice between matt and duhon, we have to go duhon. maybe we get lucky and bonner takes the LLE (if its still available).

odds of chicago not matching a fair market offer sheet 10:1

but really, we don't lose anything by trying (assuming the offer isn't stupid). if chicago matches, we'll have money for matt--and probably still a window of time should he get an offer sheet. its a good sign that babs is identifying young, quality, underrated players and going after them; and a good sign that they'll sign here.

vigilante should be very happy if this was true... lol

I hope this is true. But I think without a doubt that Chicago will match the offer. I am thinking the Calderon deal has to be worth close to 2million a year? He played for the best team over there. So I guess he is getting Ukic type money. But I forget how much Ukic signed for over there?

I am guessing the deal is worth 3million for 4 years. so 12 million overall.

As for Bonner, no team has come out and said they were interested. Bonner's agent said there were 3 or 4 teams, but hey, he is just doing his job and trying to get more money for Bonner, he might be lying. But if we sign Duhon, it pretty much means bye bye Bonner.

spuriousjones

here's a thought- duhon's offer is a favour to his agent to get chicago on the ball resigning him. (duhon and j.will have the same agent). could be something to that if its a probable-to-be-matched offer.
