Wow, thank you for that, I liked Kapono before, but I loved that profile, it was awsome. He's one of my fav players now.

don't know, guess it could've been worse. a lot worse (read: grant, jamaal, darko). at least you get a pretty safe asset in this kid, in the sense that he won't likely bust. at worst, he'll just keep doing what he's doing, and that's useful. he could even improve in the 'right' system. good shooters are always of value.

i'm still a little irritated by the contract, though. i'm not a big rankings guy at all but cnnsi released a list of their top 20 free agents this summer and kapono was nowhere to be found. #20 was deshawn stevenson. i mean, does jason kapono really deserve this kind of a contract (4/24) if he's still perceived by the general public to be a tier below pretty much everyone else? this is the full mle, folks. short of any imminent trades, this is our summer. he's good, yeah, alright, sure, but man... a bit of an anticlimax. we really wanted this guy? ok. but who else did? why did we give jyd the contract he got back in the day? why's nj overpaying for vince this year? why are we so hellbent on signing kapono for every last dollar we have to spend?

i don't know. with all of BC's talk, you get the sense that the man spends frivolously at times. almost out of anxiety. if you think about it, there's a reason why the suns are so desperate to move contracts this summer- he was the one to put that team/payroll together. i don't want to be looking at the same thing here two years down the road but what can you do. jason kapono? meh. we'll have to improve from within by default.

but again, could've been worse, and a lot worse. i'll sit on the fence for awhile.

peace

BC has made bad moves ie signing Banks to that big contract, but I am happy about this move, I think we'll be good.

6 million per? That's insane.

This is a bit like Isiah taking Renaldo Balkman at 20something..
He's a good player, but noone else was going to take him there.
Similarly, Kapono's good, but was anyone else gonna offer him the MLE?

Mr_B

well if it makes you guys feel any better Walton just signed 6 years 30 million with the lakers

Ruff Draft

Expect Peterson to be on his way out, and for a trade to come. That's way too many swignmen.

Kapono = 6 mill/year
Walton = 5 mill/year

+ Walton > Kapono

well walton does more things than kapono, personally i would have rather gotten walton over kapono

martymar

How can BC signed Banks to that contract when BC was already with the raps, might want to do more research buddy

butr

Didn't Walton stay home? Any talk of getting him to me seems retarded.

This is what BC meant said when he said overpaying for the right piece. A trade is definitely coming.
