    nothing says "I'm signing for 8 figures" like a $65 Chateaubriand and a $300 magnum of Malbec.

    We got guys that wanted to come here for the opportunity and a decent paycheck. Given what was handed out recently, they are bargains but still have a chance to win in a couple years. I feel bad for Wes who took the money and now is almost a lonely soul in Dallas.

    Portland always signs FA's. Just not top tier ones

    So Rouq's must be descending as well to start at 8.04 MIL right? These are smart moves structuring them like this!

    With Aminu's contract worth only one-quarter of Dame's, I doubt he's threatened by that. ;)

    Very interesting, that both are descending in value while the cap will be increasing.

    Yeah--by my calcs it will decrease about $360K per year, down to 6.96M in year 4.

    By that token, they should have just gave them a 20 -3 -3 -3 :)

    We have cap space now!

    If only they were allowed to. For the second time today, I say, "Darn CBA."
