    fine with me, let these teams with cap load up big contracts on overall a weak talent pool IMO, this is where it's smart to be patient for the longer term,

    4 years , 20 million for Tony Allen. A rare reasonable contract this offseason.

    big deals for guys I didn't want or expect are a great thing, IMO.

    I remember when Orlando dismantled their team to clear cap to sign Duncan and Grant Hill. It was a novel idea at the time. Now it seems like every team is constantly trying to clear cap, yet there is never enough decent players to go around so scrubs get overpaid.

    Eh. Dude is going to be 35 at the end of his contract.

    It's not as egregious as some of the other contracts floating around, but it's not great.

    I think it's becoming apparent that we will not be using our cap space this summer. Not unless it's for a trade. At this rate 9 million will buy you one over the hill center, and that's it.

    If Neil were to do that, it would cancel out drafting Dame and he would be back to square one in my book.

    I think its a great signing but it is overpaying (I thought he would get 4/46) but I think bringing in Iggy and letting Evans go is the first step in trying to change the culture of that team. Iggy is a great locker room guy and if they are going to be offering Cousins a max contract they are going to have to surround that team with great locker room players that are also unselfish. Also Mclemore was reported to have some unsavory characters around him and signing Iggy may be trying to get a good role model for Mclemore that isn't there otherwise.

    Grizzlies also resigned Jon Leuer for 3 years/3 million.
