    If we get that "unable to play a lick of defense euro" I'll lose a lot of respect for KP. He'll be just like any other GM just trying to land a grossly over rated "star".

    Gee, some of us who didn't panic at the trade deadline thought it would be a buyer's market this summer. I think the Spurs missed by getting Jefferson, BTW.

    a deal starting at 8 mil still could end up being worth more than 4 years, $35 mil. with 10% raises it's 8, 8.8, 9.6, 10.4. that adds up to 36.4 over 4 years.

    we can't offer 10% raises.

    With our (projected) 7.5M it's 4/33.6 or 5/43.5

    Ric just reported Detroit is targeting Gordon and Villanueva and Portland (THATS US!) is targeting Hedo and Andre Miller with Miller coming in a sign and trade. Most other teams are taking a wait and see approach although there is a lot of suitors for Sheed.

    I've always thought Dumars was a great GM but I'm really starting to doubt him. Can't find the right coach, trades Iverson for Billups, and now trying to sign Gordon the "gunner" and Charlie V.

    Would love to see us do a sign and trade for both and then go after our back up PF: Bass, Milsap or even Verajo (sp?)

    I should have said player. I'm pretty sure you can negotiate with your own players for extensions. I could be wrong though.

    8% is the max for other teams free agents, right? that would end up being 4 years for 35.84 mil starting at 8 mil a season. starting at 7.5 it does end up with the 4/33.6 as you say.

    The funny thing is, I don't hear an awful lot of talk about him going anywhere else. The only other team I have heard Hedo mentioned for was the Pistons, and he doesn't make sense there. They already have Prince and Hamilton. So right now, my gut feeling is this might actually be going down.

    What does your gut tell you about offering a max deal to Roy right now?

    Nope you don't do it before you sign your free agents. Don't pull a Miami Heat.

    LOL

    You didn't even read your shredding in that thread, did you.

    I have to wonder what NBA you watch at times (to borrow a phrase). ;)

    Detroit needs scorers. They were 21st in the league for offensive efficiency last year. Gordon is a scorer. CV is a good shooting big-man to replace Wallace.

    These guys make some sense. They also need to find some post scoring - no clue where this is going to come from...
