<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bibby also discussed his role with the team -- he reminded that he is the clear veteran and leader of this outfit -- and his contract status, as well as where he might be long term. Bibby has three years left on his existing deal, with some interesting wrinkles woven into the fine print. He will make a team-high $12.5 million this season, with an early-termination out if he chooses to exercise it next summer. If not, he would make $13.5 million for the 2007-08 season, with a player option that would grant him $14.5 million for the final season of 2008-09. Bibby said he surely would love to be with the Kings long term, having experienced his best seasons, best games and greatest individual moments in Sacramento. "I'm not saying I don't want to be here," Bibby said. "I'd love to finish my career here. I love it here. The atmosphere is great -- crazy. The fans are the best in the NBA. But I have talked to my agent (David Falk). It has to be (mutual). Both sides have to want a return. I know I want to be here. "Everything has to work for all of us. They've got to want to keep me. I don't want to feel like I'm not wanted." As it stands now, the Kings want Bibby. He is only 28, and he still is regarded as one of the game's elite shooters. He clearly is the best marksman on a Kings roster that lacks a lot of shooters. </div> Source
Well if he wants to stay here, then I don't see no problem. I have gut feeling that contract issues won't be a problem for Bibby and the Kings.
pfffft, god i hate all the Bibby haters there are out there. this guy is one of the best PG's in the NBA, and if we let him go this team's main source of offense is gone. So far, he has lost 17 pounds this offseason, and with a new staff who preaches Defense, i think we're going to have a whole new better Mike Bibby next season. Plus, he's only 28 years old, how could you not want him?
ya thats true. he does lack defense but hopefully he'll develop his defensive game. ya and he is one of the best offensive pgs in the game. i hope he stays a king for life.
