How much will Webster demand?

It's been said a few times here that they would love for him to come back to Portland. I just read an article about Webster's improved driving to the basket. He's gained the confidence and becoming the talent that most thought he had in him. The reason why he would be a decent option is two things. He is a 2/3 combo player. If we could retain Maynor and grabbed Webster; we would have two very capable combo options coming off the bench.

 

4.0 to 5.5 a year for 3 years would be my guess. So at MLE or a bit less.

He has really turned it on lately. A couple of 30 points games even I believe.

 

Loathed his game Portland, likewise with Jack, but would consider taking either back if the price was right.

 

That's what I was thinking too.

 

He only made 1.75 MIL this year with WAS so perhaps he takes a little less than I think.

 

I don't think so because what he makes now isn't the actual value of him as a player. It would be the same as Lillard only making his rookie contract. He's earned a pay raise and 4-5 million is right around the ball park, IMO.

 

He'll get closer to 6.5 to 7 for 3 years.

 

Oh I certainly agree he earned a raise. By a little less I mean if he really wanted to be on a specific team then perhaps he takes 3.5. Still double what he made. I think he liked his time with us overall but remember SEA might have a team next year. I bet a lot of local boys want to go there.

 

I don't see that happening but if he does get that much then OJ Mayo gets 9 MIL a year and JR Smith gets 8 MIL a year.

 

I'm thinking 4 years/24 million range.

 

No fucking way. Not with the new CBA really starting to take place.

 

Let's look at it in a different perspective. If the cap is $60 million; then the max contracts will be 15 mil.

If Webster gets 6 mil per; that's 10% of the cap space. Teams having similar players, playing his type of role were paying around 4-5 million. I just don't see much justification of paying Webster anything more than that.

 

yeah, but this is for Webster in his prime already. He'll get the money..this is his big contract.

 

(facepalm) I thought you meant total, and my math sucks, lol. I think a hair over 5 per year is the ceiling.

 

I thought I heard on a broadcast that he lives in Portland during the offseason. I think he's attainable for a moderate contract. Probably very tradable too if (big if!) his health holds up. Would be wonderful to have his beautiful shot greased by Lillard and Maynor. Could lead the league in 3pt % next year.

 

The last three summers he's been at Club Sport in Tualatin quite a bit, I've played pickup games with him there, so he must have a house here.

 

I certainly would not be opposed at 4-5 million/yr

 

He's 3rd in the league this year, less than 1% behind Korver and Steph Curry.

 

I like how his game has grown. I think he will get 6-7 mil per year. I'd love to have him back but I think he'll for a place where he can start.

 

Hmm that is pretty good. In that case someone will offer him their MLE.
