My theory is that Sman and CL are in cahoots.

Sman paints the murals, then CL vandalizes them.

He may not get a max deal but he's going to get more than 80 million.

Oh, I agree.

If it was 5/80...the Clippers are on crack.

If it was 4/80?.....

I would have gone 5/100.

Give the guy major security.

I get why he didn't take it.

That deal will be available next year.

But, you aren't going very far with Tobias as your best player and that's how he wants to be paid.

I like him a lot and would love to keep him on a fair deal.

In this depressed market, I'm not sure what that is.

What's the going rate for 19,6 and 3?

If they are going into cap hell overpaying guys, should have just kept Blake.

That is what he was paid.

Not so sure.

I realize that this off season had a lot to do with cap space.

But, perhaps teams are finally wising up to the fact that you can't build a good team by overpaying guys like Tobias Harris. We shall see, but he might regret this decision.

A lot more teams will have cap space next year.

You ain't kidding. How the hell is AJ # 4?

For the hell of it I just looked up his stats. Didn't realize he averaged 18.5 ppg & scored 20,000+ points. But he's not a HOFer.

That's crazy.

Westbrook will pass him in a couple seasons.

@Sparhawk, @flyerhawk , @knowyourenemy ...

Great news.

And this is why it's too early to write off Ball.....like a few on here have done.

How many years was the 80 mill extension for?

It'd be interesting to watch when Harden and Melo are both on the court at he same time.

If I understand the way they did this list correctly, #4 picks haven't fared all that well. lol
