    Do you sign him for 5 years when the plan is so clearly to reset after the season?

    now do cj mccollum for tobias harris if you cant get siakam or simmons

    we need to balance the roster (although it would be interesting to see the same starting line-up with chauncey billups)

    Didn't see him getting the same annual deal as GTJ.

    This is the same feeling I had about Chauncey's contract

    I'm a little surprised at 18M/year, although that seems to be this summer's market level. I am surprised at a 5 year deal though. That's a year longer than Dame's contract

    I am very surprised at how comparatively cheap that is! Maybe Neil DID learn his lesson from Evan Turner.

    they say hes not top gm (not everyone can be), not that hes one of the worst gm out there, hes solid and thats it

    we could do better, but we could do worse too

    Great deal!

    The best part is that CJ will get moved. No more no defense back court

    More reasonable than I thought.

    And like some have pointed out already, with a guy like Norm I do prefer more years over dollars.

    He's 28, but a lot of tread left and he's still improving a bit.

    Structure will be interesting, could they make it a declining contract so it’s more attractive down the road for trades?

    This is how the deal should look:

    15.4
    16.6
    17.9
    19.4
    20.1

    No options.

    Compared to GTJ:

    16.67
    18
    19 (player option)

    There is no upside to Gary Trent's contract because of that PO and how short it is. This is an absolute win no matter what.

    First two moves actually been pretty decent. 1st he didn't over pay on both players and both players can help this team.
