    Uh yeah. While our newbie may be cheap annually, we did just mortgage our future on a PG in the high- lotto. With being a lotto team, you don't sign one of the oldest players in the game to be your starting PG.

    Just sayin'.

    No! Morey makes things happen. He got a bunch of post-Lottery picks, but with first-round contracts.

    It's the FORMULA, I tell ya!!!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    $8 million / year seems steep, but not that steep. I'd say that a bit over the mid-level exception seems reasonable, I believe the MLE is $5 million / year for four years, so somewhere between $6-7 million / year wouldn't strike me as a major overpay. And $8 million / year wouldn't be crazy if the number of years was lower than the four of the MLE. Less guaranteed years means less exposure to risk if he doesn't perform.

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    Asik fills a need. He's not sexy like the rest of us, but I can see him fitting in great with a Lillard/LMA/Batum/? line-up.

    Asik your destiny, and find it!

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    You would think with how teams had to pay millions for nothing with the amnesty provision as well as give up draft picks to shed horrible contracts that guys like Dragic would not even consider asking for 10M starting without getting laughed at. Shows how little I know.

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    Lillard is definite starter:

    @BlazerFreeman: The #Blazers do not have intentions of pursing a PG to compete with Damian Lillard for starting spot. Lillard will be the guy.
