    Can you or some one else break down Lillards contract. How long left on it? Are there any special circumstances like Paul George's making all star or all teams granting bonuses?

    The Atlanta Hawks contacted Greg Monroe tonight, according to source close to the situation. ATL's interest in Monroe is very real.

    I know that I just don't know the special rules and breakdowns of structuring for rookie contracts specifically Lillard.

    Don't quote me on this, but i've never heard of rookie deals having special bonuses like that? But again, i have no idea.

    So it's just the pay that is different? Everything else is the same from lottery pick to 60?

    He will be eligible for an extension next summer. But he has two seasons left at low rookie wages. He has to be voted to all nba team, voted into allstar game for special bonuses to matter.

    Some of them still think they are getting LeBron AND Melo this offseason. Delusional.

    Look at the responses on his latest tweet, Laker fans seem to think they're still the relevant team in LA for some reason

    Its funny Lakers fans talk about how there is no way they can go through another losing season and want to build a contender right now. They want the results of a quality long term rebuild but with immediate gratification. Reminds me of the rhetoric coming from the Knicks for the last decade plus. If you rush a rebuild it doesn't turn out well. If you sacrifice the long term for the present it catches up to you.

    I think the Clippers might end up being the Los Angeles team of the next decade.

    Yeah, that's why I said he's on his rookie contract. His next contract will probably have incentives built into it.

    Dude it would be like landing on a new planet and trying to immediately build skyscrapers. Teams that have tasted long term success have trouble getting back to it if not done right.
