    Dan Gadzuric, Kwame Brown, Dasagna Diop, Jarron and Jason Colliins and Joel Anthony all say, "No."

    I assume that Joel will be looking for more than those guys. I think most of them are in the 5mil a season range which is not a lot at the NBA level for a big body. I am thinking Joel wants more in the 10mil per season range.

    Really? Joel's not getting that now, in the last year of an escalated deal he signed when he was playing his best ball.

    My guess is two years, $7MM total with a team option for a third.

    10 million? at his age, with his limited skill-set and the two knee injuries he's not going to get paid 10 million (especially considering the lockout and the impending reduction of overall salary) but I can see him getting an offer for 6-8 million per year easily.

    Joel should be getting Jim McIllvaine, Todd McCollough and Jerome James type money.

    Blazer fans know his strengths, but the rest of the league thinks he belongs in that class. Add the uncertainty of his comeback, and I don't think other teams will offer him the $6-8M that this thread predicts.

    P.S. McCullough was pretty good before his injury.
