I want to keep GTJ and DJJ and that's going to force us to trade CJ. There's no way we can pay those guys and be paying CJ the stupid contract that he's making.
It’s called a toxic offer. A team will offer a very uncomfortable contract to a player to effect them in a number of ways. What we did with Utah was offer a contract we felt Wes was worth and we were right that time. Now Crabbe they should have let walk.
As much as I like Trent...he has pumped his trade value through the roof....if we think he'll be pricing us out of the market next off season we could get a really good player for him at the deadline...contract season for him is very similar to what Crabbe did his 3rd year as well as Patty C and Jake Layman.
Yeah..... the problem is that Crabbe was extremely one dimensional. GTJ seems to be a really solid 3&D guy. Not sure if he's worth big money yet though.
Yup. CJ is making superstar money and he's not a superstar. I think GTJ/DJJ/Nurk are far more important to our future.
The Miller family was struggling financially and the “toxic offer” was because of the poison pill of needing a full cash payment before the Miller’s could get the cash, as I recall. I may be completely wrong tho ha.
It was highly toxic. $9 million front loaded so Utah had almost no way to match at the time. Thing is it's pretty much what they were doing for Milsap the year before. You kind of have to remember how this was all planned. Wes was supposed to back up Brandon Roy. Of course Roy was on his way down and going fast. Pritchard was just fired and and Larry Miller was acting along with Chad Buchanan. The entire organization was going through some major changes that seemed to take forever. something like 5 GM's in 6 years? Don't quote me on that. Another thing to remember the cap was like 70 million then. Again don't quote me on that number. 9 million front loaded was i big hit.
This is from the RealGM trade board: "Gary Trent Jr. reportedly declined a 4-year/$53M contract. That's the biggest extension that he is eligible to sign before this season started. 2021-22: $12 million 2022-23: $12.96 million 2023-24: $13.92 million 2024-25: $14.88 million Total: $53.76 million" Guess Gary is really betting on himself, that I believe is as most Blazers could offer on an extension
A player re-signing with his own team (8% annual raises, up to five years): Year 6 years or less 7-9 years 10+ years 2020/21 $27,285,000 $32,742,000 $38,199,000 2021/22 $29,467,800 $35,361,360 $41,254,920 2022/23 $31,650,600 $37,980,720 $44,310,840 2023/24 $33,833,400 $40,600,080 $47,366,760 2024/25 $36,016,200 $43,219,440 $50,422,680 Total $158,253,000 $189,903,600 $221,554,200 That's for 20/21, probably a little higher if the cap increases from 109 mil
